"It makes me really sad, ultimately," Radcliffe confessed, noting his lack of recent contact with Rowling. His reflection on the empathy embedded within the Harry Potter series starkly contrasts with the author's public rants, sparking a wave of disappointment among fans and followers.
In 2020, Radcliffe took a bold step by supporting the trans community through The Trevor Project, emphasizing, "Transgender women are women." This move was not about in-fighting with Rowling but about standing up for what's right, showcasing Radcliffe's dedication to equality and support for those affected by Rowling's remarks.
Gratitude with boundaries
Radcliffe acknowledges Rowling's role in his career but firmly believes in the independence of personal beliefs. He challenges the narrative of ingratitude, underlining the necessity of staying true to one's convictions, regardless of past affiliations.
Following Rowling's sharp retort to calls for a public apology from Radcliffe and Emma Watson, Radcliffe reiterates his commitment to LGBTQ rights, choosing to focus on support rather than controversy.
