JK Rowling, the writer behind the famous Harry Potter book series, has sparked a heated debate with actors Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe regarding the topic of transgender people's identity and rights.

The author criticized "celebrities" who, according to her, had "taken advantage of their influence to encourage minors to undergo transitions".

The film's crew includes Radcliffe and Watson, who openly object to Rowling's position on gender identity from the previous year.

The latest statements made by her have been brought to the attention of Radcliffe and Watson by the BBC, who have requested their feedback.

Rowling expressed support towards a recent examination that highlighted issues regarding healthcare services for young people under the age of 18 who are dealing with gender identity.

The Cass Review declared on Wednesday that children were not properly supported as the available evidence for medical treatments in gender care was deemed surprisingly inadequate.

In her statement, Rowling referred to the report as a significant turning point.

A person on social media replied to her message by saying that they are anticipating a public apology from Dan and Emma and are certain that she will forgive them.

Famous people who supported a movement that aimed to lessen the rights that women had worked hard to attain and who utilized their popularity to encourage the transition of young people should keep their apologies to those who have suffered from detransitioning and women who require single gender spaces.

Rowling has faced allegations of transphobia due to her stance on gender identity and her belief that transgender women should not have access to areas designated for women only.

Not long ago, she tested the Scottish police by daring them to detain her according to a newly-adopted legislation that prohibits offensive speech. Her offence was labeling some transgender females as males. The Scottish police eventually decided against prosecuting her.

The author has received mixed reactions for her viewpoint and has chosen to ignore negative responses towards her beliefs.

In the past, she has made it clear that she does not hold hostile attitudes towards transgender individuals. She has expressed her belief in the importance of allowing every transgender person to live in accordance with their true self and feel comfortable doing so. Additionally, she has advocated for an end to discrimination and mistreatment towards transgender people.

In 2010, the premiere of a movie featuring actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint took place. These actors are famous for their roles in the Potter series.

Radcliffe, who portrayed the adolescent magician in the Harry Potter motion pictures, reacted to Rowling's first statements in 2020 by stating: "It is evident that we must take further measures to uphold transgender and non-binary individuals, rather than rejecting their identities."

He mentioned that he wished the writer's remarks wouldn't negatively affect the film franchise's supporters.

According to Watson, individuals who identify as transgender should not face constant scrutiny or be denied acceptance for their gender identity. In essence, she believes that trans people should be recognized and respected for who they affirm themselves to be.

In 2020, Eddie Redmayne, who played a leading role in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a movie based on one of Rowling's books, expressed his disagreement with Jo's comments. He stated that he firmly believes that trans women are just as much women as cisgender women, trans men are just as much men as cisgender men, and non-binary individuals are valid in their identity.

At the same time, Rupert Grint expressed his support for the transgender community by stating that he stands with them. He firmly believes that trans women should be considered as women and trans men should be recognized as men. Rupert also thinks that everyone should have the right to live and love freely, without facing any discrimination.

The actor Ralph Fiennes, famous for his portrayal of the antagonist Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies, spoke up in support of the author. He denounced the mistreatment she endured as "horrible" and "unacceptable".

Additional celebrities such as Eddie Izzard and Helena Bonham Carter, who portrayed Bellatrix Lestrange, have expressed their belief that Rowling's opinions are not transphobic but rather a reflection of her personal encounters with mistreatment.

According to Rowling, one of the reasons she chose to address transgender concerns is based on her own history of being a victim of violence within the home and sexual misconduct.
