In a recent interview with The Atlantic, Daniel Radcliffe expressed his sadness over J.K. Rowling’s past remarks, which were often perceived as anti-trans. Reflecting on his interactions with Rowling and the profound influence of her books, Radcliffe emphasized the empathetic world she crafted. Despite their lack of recent contact, he profoundly appreciates her work.
Daniel Radcliffe shot to fame as a child actor playing Harry Potter in the movie series based on Rowling’s beloved books. However, they differ in their views on transgender rights.
In 2020, J.K. Rowling voiced her concerns on Twitter ( Now Called X) about an article using the term “people who menstruate” instead of “women,” arguing that certain aspects of the transgender movement could jeopardize women’s rights. Subsequently, Radcliffe responded via The Trevor Project, affirming, “Transgender women are women,” underscoring that opposing views undermine the identity and dignity of transgender individuals. He noted the contradiction with guidance from healthcare professionals, indicating their superior expertise over Rowling and himself.
Individually, Radcliffe, alongside his “Harry Potter” companions Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, have demonstrated their support for the transgender community. Notably, the media has seized upon this narrative, highlighting the apparent contrast between the cast and the author whose literary creations propelled their careers. Radcliffe shared with The Atlantic his observation that there has always been a desire to write a version of “Are these three kids ungrateful brats?” He mused, “So, good for them, I guess,” recognizing the opportunity for those interested to finally explore that narrative.
While acknowledging that Harry Potter owes its existence to Rowling and has significantly impacted his life, Radcliffe emphasized that he doesn’t feel indebted to someone else for his beliefs indefinitely. He pointed out that although Rowling played a crucial role, it doesn’t mean he is beholden to her for his entire life.
Rowling recently posted on X (previously Twitter), citing a report she felt bolstered her beliefs. When a follower mentioned anticipating apologies from Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, Rowling rejected the notion, stating, “Not safe, I’m afraid.” She perceives them aligning with a movement she feels endangers women’s rights. Radcliffe, in turn, told The Atlantic he’ll continue advocating for LGBTQ rights and opted not to elaborate further on the matter.
