‘Harry Potter’s New Dumbledore Ignored Backlash to Join HBO Series

For seven years, author J.K. Rowling has been a vocal advocate for women’s rights, which has led to accusations of being anti-transgender. This has sparked significant public debate, with several stars from the Harry Potter films – including Miriam Margoyles, Daniel Radcliffe, and Emma Watson – publicly sharing their views.
