Harry Potter star Ralph Fiennes defends JK Rowling in ongoing row. This is what he said

J.K. Rowling, the author of the magical novel series Harry Potter, has been in the limelight for quite some time now after speaking out about transgender people and her definition of womanhood.

J.K. Rowling's statements have triggered angry reactions. This has also provoked a comment from Voldemort himself.

In an interview with The New York Times Magazine, Ralph Fiennes recently came to the author's defence when he spoke about how disgusting and appalling the verbal abuse was.





Ralph Fiennes said that he could understand the viewpoint of what may enrage people by J.K. Rowling's comments. But she wasn't some ultra-right-wing fascist. She's just a woman expressing how she feels as a woman, and she wants the freedom to be called a woman. And that he can understand her feelings.

J.K. Rowling's books have been a great source of inspiration and enjoyment for everyone. The books are about empowerment, young children realising themselves and developing into good human beings.

It teaches how to be a better, resilient and morally-centered human. It is speculated that Rowling was absent from the HBO Max special Harry Potter Reunion on 20th Anniversary due to that controversy.

J.K. Rowling later clarified that her absence had more to do with the fact that the reunion was more about the celebration of the films rather than her books.
