Daniel Radcliffe Responds To J.K. Rowling After She Torched Celebs Who 'Cosied Up' To Trans Movement

Actor Daniel Radcliffe — he of Harry Potter fame — has reacted to JK Rowling's comments that he and co-star Emma Watson can save their apologies for supporting the transgender "movement" that continues to erode women's rights.

Last month, Rowling responded to a comment on X about how celebrities like Radcliffe and Watson — who let's be frank, owe their careers to looking like characters Rowling made up — could expect forgiveness from Rowling for supporting the agenda.

Now Radcliffe has responded, and continues to be unwavering in his support of the radical ideology, probably because — let's face it — the guy needs work.

"It makes me really sad, ultimately," Radcliffe said in an interview with The Atlantic. "Because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic."

You're bang on about that one, Danny Boy. She is certainly empathetic… to the women and girls being stripped of their rights to make a small subset of men feel better about themselves.

Radcliffe also addressed a statement he put out in 2020 after Rowling first drew the ire of the woke mob. In it, he stated, "Transgender women are women."

…who wants to tell him?

"I wanted to try and help people that had been negatively affected by the comments," he tells me. "And to say that if those are Jo’s views, then they are not the views of everybody associated with the Potter franchise."

People negatively affected by what, Dan? Biology?

Daniel Radcliffe Is Playing The Hollywood Game, But This Is An Odd Way To Do It

Look, I know it's been a while since anyone said, "Let's go see the new Daniel Radcliffe movie." Unfortunately for him, if he's not wearing round glasses with a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, he's not exactly heating up the box office.

So, to a degree, I get the desire to play the Hollywood game. Being in movies and getting Harry Potter residual checks seems cool.

But this is how you do it? Arguing with accurate statements from the woman who wrote the source material that made your career.

That's an interesting approach. Imagine if Mark Hammill (who has also helped himself to a glass of the woke Kool-Aid) just started torching George Lucas. 

Just strange. By no means am I saying you need to abandon your convictions because someone threw you a bone, but he's pushing back against something demonstrably false: trans women are not women. 

They are biological fellas, whether Daniel Radcliffe likes it or not.
