JK Rowling (65) will not be completely ignored in the "Harry Potter" reunion. The 'Harry Potter' author has a place in the upcoming special celebrating the 20th anniversary of the series. The writer had repeatedly caused outrage with her attitude towards transsexuality in recent years, so it was assumed that she would not be mentioned at all at the reunion.
"The Power of Her Writing"
This is not the case, as the "Independent" now reports, which has already seen parts of the special. Accordingly, the actors Bonnie Wright (30), Daniel Radcliffe (32) and Robbie Coltrane (71) talk about "the power of their writing". Accordingly, Radcliffe considers how many people Rowling has given access to reading with her books.
The special also features parts of an interview from 2019 in which Rowling talks about how difficult it was to find the right actor for Harry Potter: "We couldn't find Harry! We just couldn't find Harry and it was starting to get weird and panicky came up," she says in it. When Radcliffe called, she got emotional and thanked God she finally found him.
At the eagerly awaited reunion, 20 years after the franchise first aired, the leading actors Radcliffe, Emma Watson (31) and Rupert Grint (33) meet numerous co-stars and celebrate the film classic. However, the creator of Harry Potter is not included in these rounds. The two specials "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts" and "Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses" can be seen worldwide from January 1 - in Germany on Sky and Sky Ticket.
Criticized for anti-trans statements
The author repeatedly caused outrage with some statements on the subject of transsexuality. She received a lot of criticism for her attitude - including from the Harry Potter stars, who publicly distanced themselves from the statements that many considered transphobic. Among other things, Watson tweeted, "I want my transsexual followers to know that I and many other people around the globe recognize, respect and love you for who you are." SpotOnNews
