There is a current dispute between JK Rowling, Daniel Radcliffe, and Emma Watson from the Harry Potter movies.
However, Miriam Margolyes, who played Professor Sprout in the films, has offered to help settle the conflicts between them.
Rowling's statements have sparked allegations of transphobia, while Radcliffe and Watson have expressed their support for the transgender community.
In 2020, Rowling reacted to an article titled 'Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate' by remarking, "People who menstruate. I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?"
Rowling stated that she would happily accept imprisonment for her controversial views on trans people.
However, Watson and Radcliffe have shown strong backing for the transgender community.
Harry Potter star Emma Watson conveyed her support to transgender followers, assuring them that many people worldwide see, respect, and love them for their true selves.
Meanwhile, Radcliffe apologized for the harm caused by Rowling's comments and wrote a letter for the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ organization, acknowledging the pain experienced by the community.
After the 'Cass Report' on children's gender care was published, Rowling praised it as the most thorough review of medical evidence on transitioning children.
She claimed that the report demonstrated irreversible harm inflicted on kids.
Rowling also accused various parties, including medical professionals, celebrities, the media, and corporations, of being complicit in this situation.
When a social media user suggested that the actors should apologize publicly, Rowling responded by saying they should keep their apologies to themselves.
She expressed that it would not be a safe option, indicating that she does not intend to accept any apologies from Watson and Radcliffe.
Miriam Margolyes, who played Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter movies, has offered to help resolve the conflict between Rowling and Watson.
If they seek her assistance, Margolyes is willing to act as a mediator.
In 2022, she expressed support for Rowling, highlighting the importance of comprehending and recognizing the intricate nature of transgender matters.
Margolyes pointed out that there are different views when it comes to transgender issues and suggested that the criticism of Rowling might not be entirely justified.
She praised Rowling as a talented writer, emphasizing her generosity and brilliance.
