J.K. Rowling Seems To Attack 3 Stars Of ‘Harry Potter’ Films Who Disapprove Of Her Anti-Transgender Activism

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling appeared to have slammed Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in a recent X post.

“What actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you,” an X user wrote on the platform on March 17.

“Three guesses,” Rowling stated on Tuesday afternoon as a reply to this post. “Sorry, but that was irresistible.”

The users who replied to this post speculated that the author of the Harry Potter books was referring to Radcliffe, Watson and Grint, all of whom starred in the cinematic adaptations of her book series.

Some shared images of the actors, others stated their names in the captions, and some slammed them for being ungrateful to Rowling after they spoke up against her transphobic remarks.

“Three guesses? 1. The same people who made millions off your work, then turned on you when it was ‘cool,'” one user declared.

“My three guesses in one image,” another stated in the caption of a post that included an image of the actors.

“There’s a beauty to your humor; it’s the brutal honesty that makes it so cutting,’ another user stated on the platform. “Such a shame Daniel, Emma and whatever you call the other one’s best magic trick turned out to be disappearing up their own a—.”

“Rupert Grint still has [a lot] of love for JK,” another declared. “The other two forget them.”

On April 10, 2024, a user wrote to Rowling that they were “waiting for [Radcliffe] and [Watson] to give you a very public apology … safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them” for their support of trans rights, to which the author replied, “Not safe, I’m afraid.” 

She then stated that celebrities “who cozied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatized detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces.”

At the beginning of May 2024, Radcliffe told The Atlantic that he was disappointed over Rowling’s frequent and controversial anti-transgender statements.
