Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding JK Rowling’s comments on transgender issues, actor Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy, made an appearance at her stage show, showing his support. Rowling’s remarks have led to strained relationships with several Harry Potter stars, including Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who have distanced themselves from her.
Radcliffe expressed sadness over the divide but acknowledged the importance of separating the person from the work. Felton, however, praised Rowling’s role in creating a global community through Harry Potter and said he has not experienced any negative impact on his career due to the controversy.
Emma Watson has publicly supported transgender rights, posting messages affirming the identity and dignity of trans people.
The situation highlights the complex dynamics between personal beliefs and professional relationships within the Harry Potter family, as well as the broader cultural debates around transgender rights.
