The actor who played Percy Weasley has become the latest Harry Potter star to criticise JK Rowling's comments on trans people, calling her remarks 'damaging'.
actor Chris Rankin has become the latest star of the franchise to share his thoughts on the JK Rowling controversy, and believes the author’s comments about the trans community are ‘damaging’.On one occasion, the author tweeted a link to an article titled: ‘“Absurdity of police logging rapists as women’, and another with the headline: ‘Opinion: Creating a more equal post-Covid-19 world for people who menstruate.
However, several Harry Potter stars, including Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, denounced her comments. ‘A lot of my family are members of the community. It is a huge part of my life and I think, by saying that, you can probably guess where my allegiances lie in that respect.’He added: ‘What is important to highlight is that, when a trans person says they are male or female, that is what they are and that is how we should treat themChris is a passionate ally of the LGBTQ+ community and regularly campaigns for their rights.
