Harry Potter star’s JK Rowling jab exposed.
A former “Harry Potter” star just took a flying broomstick straight at J.K. Rowling—and he wasn’t pulling punches.
JK Rowling’s controversial views highlighted.
Rowling, 59, has weathered firestorms of controversy since first wading into gender politics several years ago.
She’s been accused of transphobia, despite insisting her views are grounded in safeguarding sex-based rights.
Recently, she backed For Women Scotland, an advocacy group that challenged gender-based statutes in Scottish law.
Her £70,000 donation to the cause helped get the case to the Supreme Court, which ultimately ruled in their favor.
“They’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK,” Rowling said, hailing the trio of Scottish women who led the charge.
But while Rowling celebrated, her former film family seemed less than impressed.
Backlash for JK Rowling clarified.
This latest outspoken Harry Potter star had joined a chorus of castmates who’ve distanced themselves from her views.
From Daniel Radcliffe to Emma Watson, several core stars have spoken out for trans rights, often directly countering Rowling’s public statements.
Daniel Radcliffe publicly rejected J.K. Rowling’s remarks in 2020, stating, “Transgender women are women,” in an open letter via The Trevor Project.
He emphasized that Rowling’s views were harmful, writing, “We need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities.”
Radcliffe’s stance was seen as a direct rebuke of the author who launched his career, cementing his break from her ideology.
Emma Watson also didn’t mince words, tweeting: “Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned.”
She followed it up with a sharp shot: “I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the world see you, respect you, and love you.”
Watson appeared to take further aim at Rowling during the 2022 BAFTAs, quipping she was “here for all the witches,” a remark widely read as a dig at Rowling.
Together, Radcliffe and Watson have drawn a clear line, standing in solidarity with trans people—and unmistakably apart from Rowling’s polarizing rhetoric.
Nicola Coughlan of “Bridgerton” fame has even rejected HBO’s planned Harry Potter reboot, tweeting: “Wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole.”
Harry Potter star’s shocking criticism of JK Rowling unveiled.
Sean Biggerstaff, who played Oliver Wood in the blockbuster franchise, erupted on social media, calling Rowling an “obsessed billionaire” and accusing her of funding bigotry.
“Bigotry rots the wit,” he declared in a now-viral post, making his stance on the author’s trans views crystal clear.
His comments came hot on the heels of a UK Supreme Court ruling that legally defines “woman” and “sex” as “biological”—a decision Rowling has loudly praised.
Rowling celebrated the court’s ruling with flair, posting a smug cigar-smoking selfie from a yacht, drawing comparisons to Andrew Tate.
And yes, Biggerstaff absolutely went there—sharing a jab that likened Rowling to Tate, the internet’s favorite misogynist-in-chief.
“Lol, huffing on a cigar now? Is she Andrew Tate?” he reposted, mocking her puffed-up victory lap.
That post was shared with his 55,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), and it didn’t take long for the backlash—and support—to roll in.
When one online commenter called actors who oppose Rowling “disloyal bags of s–t,” Biggerstaff clapped back hard.
“They’re leading happy and successful lives,” he replied, “not driving their families away with hateful obsessions.”
In response to the ruling, Biggerstaff posted again, condemning what he sees as “willfully simple-minded” reactions disguised as common sense.
“It’s a performance of pragmatism,” he wrote, “to cloak their instinctive distaste for the Other.”
Though not a lead in the series, Biggerstaff’s voice adds weight as the latest in a long line of Potter stars taking Rowling to task.
The JK Rowling controversy continues.
Despite Rowling’s insistence that the ruling protects women, Biggerstaff and others argue it only deepens divisions and invites discrimination.
The real shock? Even as he cashes in on residual fame from Rowling’s universe, he’s not afraid to torch the author behind it.
In the end, it’s a wizarding war of words that shows no signs of slowing—and one that may just be writing a whole new chapter for the cast of Hogwarts.
