Rowling's hateful comments about the trans community have long sparked backlash.
Actor Pedro Pascal is offering solidarity with trans people and activists calling out the divisive, transphobic rhetoric that has cast a shadow over J.K. Rowling’s legacy as an author.“This is some serious Voldemort villain shit,” Ra’ouf said, adding that the “ Harry Potter ” creator appeared to be “reveling in the fact” that she had donated a significant sum to For Women Scotland, the organization that brought the case before the U.K. Supreme Court.
Ra’ouf also called for a boycott of the “Harry Potter” franchise, “Because that shit, that awful disgusting shit, that has consequences.” In addition to liking Ra’ouf’s video, Pascal agreed in a comment, writing: “Awful disgusting SHIT is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior.”Both Pascal and Rowling have series on HBO: Pascal leads in “The Last of Us,” while Rowling’s upcoming “Harry Potter” reboot is set to premiere on the same platform.
