In April 2025, a number of Hollywood A-listers spoke out against J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans views after she praised a U.K. Supreme Court ruling that defined womanhood by biological sex. This is not the first time Rowling has faced backlash for her anti-trans comments, as she previously defended British researcher Maya Forstater who made transphobic statements. The Harry Potter author’s controversial opinions have prompted stars like Daniel Radcliffe, Eddie Redmayne, and Emma Watson to speak out in defense of trans rights. Actors like Bowen Yang and Nicola Coughlan shared their criticism of Rowling on social media, with Coughlan expressing horror over the Supreme Court’s ruling. Charithra Chandran also condemned Rowling’s actions, stating that targeting the trans community is “loser behavior.” Rowling’s remarks have divided both fans and cast members of Harry Potter, with many standing in solidarity with the trans community. The controversy surrounding Rowling’s anti-trans views continues to spark discussion and debate within the entertainment industry.
