Daniel Radcliffe, famously known as "The Boy Who Lived" in the Harry Potter series, sparked discussion about JK Rowling and the trans community.
During his appearance in the interview with E! News, Radcliffe spoke about his potential involvement in the upcoming Harry Potter TV series reboot amidst the ongoing feud with JK Rowling.
In a recent interview with E!, Radcliffe was asked about his willingness to make an appearance in the new series, either as a cameo or as a professor at the magical school.
He expressed his excitement for the new series and wished the team all the luck in the world.
However, he made it clear that he doesn't believe his physical presence is necessary for the torch to be passed on to the new generation.
He said: "But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world and I'm very excited to have that torch passed," he added.
"But I don't think it needs me to physically pass it."
Here is the revised version of the text with corrected grammar and improved clarity:
Radcliffe's reluctance to be involved with the new series is reportedly due to his ongoing feud with JK Rowling.
The feud between Daniel Radcliffe and JK Rowling sparked debate on social media after the Harry Potter actor expressed his strong support for the trans community.
Meanwhile, J.K. Rowling continues to face repeated accusations of transphobia.
in 2020, JK Rowing left fans after poking fun at a charity for using the term 'people who menstruate', leading to accusations of transphobia.
After the controversy arose, most of the actors from the Harry Potter films shared their support for the trans community and expressed their disagreement with Rowling's views.
Earlier this year, Rowling suggested that Radcliffe and other cast members, including Emma Watson, could'save their apologies.', leading to accusations of transphobia.
In response to Rowling's comments, Radcliffe admitted to feeling saddened by the unfolding events.
Speaking to The Atlantic, he expressed his deep empathy for Rowling, acknowledging the significant role she played in his life and career.
However, he emphasized that his gratitude towards Rowling does not mean he owes her his beliefs for his entire life.
Additionally, Daniel Radcliffe responds to claims of being 'ungrateful' to JK Rowling
In a interview with The Alantic, Radcliffe addressed claims that he was being 'ungrateful' to Rowling.
Following Radcliffe's criticism of Rowling's views on transgender rights, some suggested that the cast was 'ungrateful,' considering their success was largely due to the Harry Potter books.
Rowling responded by stating that if Radcliffe and Watson sought her forgiveness for their support of trans rights, they should 'save their apologies.'
He said: "There’s a version of ‘Are these three kids ungrateful brats?’ that people have always wanted to write, and they were finally able to. So, good for them, I guess."
Additionally, Radcliffe expressed sadness about the situation, expressing his deep empathy for Rowling and the world she created.
However, he firmly stated that his gratitude towards Rowling does not mean he owes her his beliefs for his entire life. He concluded by saying that while Rowling is responsible for his fame, that doesn’t mean he should automatically agree with her stances on things.
He said: “It makes me really sad, ultimately.
“Because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.”
