Daniel Radcliffe, known for playing the role of “Harry Potter” in cinema, responded to JK Rowling, the author of the books about the young wizard, saying that he did not owe her support.

These statements came, in an interview with “The Atlantic” magazine, after the writer said that she would not accept an apology from Radcliffe, nor from Emma Watson, another heroine in the film, for the support they provide to transgender people – remember that Rowling made many anti-trans comments. sexually during the past few years.

“Obviously 'Harry Potter' wouldn't have happened without her, so maybe nothing in my life would have happened the way it did without that person,” the actor begins in the new interview, “but that doesn't mean you owe things to someone you really believe in.” What for the rest of your life.

Radcliffe also adds that he is disappointed in Rowling: “I feel very sad when I think of the person I knew, the times we met, the books I wrote, the world I created – all of this, for me, arouses deep sympathy.”

The first time the actor spoke out against Rowling's transphobic views was in 2020: “Even though Jo is responsible for the direction my life has taken, as a human being I feel compelled to say something: trans women are women.”
