  Yet her saying this would be noticed by many Harry Potter fans and hopefully make them think. While not taking the role would not communicate anything to the fans

    Personally, I’d be much more interested to hear from actors that turned down roles like this, rather than from the ones still profiting from them.

        See? Now that’s the shit I’m talking about. That’s integrity. Good for her.

    Every Harry Potter fan I’ve met already prerequisites any talk of the franchise with ‘I don’t agree with Rowling, but…’, they already know, they’d just rather support the eradication of trans people than give up their children toys.

      Children generally don’t have a clear and settled opinion on trans rights. This actress saying she doesn’t agree with Rowling can make them think, so it is useful for trans rights that she said this

      If only they didn’t buy more of that Potter crap be it physical or digital.
