    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
