Actors who have starred in films and TV shows based on the work of JK Rowling have signed an open letter in solidarity with members of the LGBT+ community
Ralph Fiennes, who played Potter villain Lord Voldemort, came to the author’s defence, calling the abuse she received “disgusting” and “appalling”.
Other stars including Eddie Izzard and Helena Bonham Carter, who played Bellatrix Lestrange, have also said they do not consider Rowling’s views to be transphobic, but reflective of her own experience of abuse.
Very disappointing, but pretty funny that only the villains support her
Yeah, she’s gender-fluid and uses fem pronouns, so my guess is that she just really wasn’t expecting an old lady (jkr) to get real hate about it and she’d like the discourse to be more polite. Still fucked up, but I can’t understand it any other way.
Awesome, good to know, and happy to hear it! I just meant only one of the people pictured in the post’s thumbnail (Cho Chang) actually signed the letter the article is about
you’ve missed some context on how long Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Daniel Ratclif have been speaking out that they don’t support JK Rowling, how they’re going to spend their royalties from those films, and that trans men are men and trans women are women.
None of the main stars, yet
Because they already spoke out. CW: Joanne being a four letter word.

What the fuck, Eddie Izzard?! I had to look up if it was the same Eddie Izzard, who now also goes by Suzy.
Yep, that Eddie Izzard. Fuck.

Fuck. I hate discovering that actors whos movies I previously enjoyed, are in fact assholes.
Helena Bonham Carter did some great stuff.
Too bad, so long demon barber of fleet street.

Emma Watson has signed the letter, and as other comments have said, the other main cast has spoken out previously.

Of course not. Rich people stick together.
