“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.”
Amid the initial fallout from Rowling’s rhetoric—which began in 2019 when she defended a researcher who lost her job due to transphobic tweets, and escalated in 2020 when she mocked the phrase “people who menstruate”—Radcliffe issued an apology to the Harry Potter fandom through the LGBTQ + suicide-prevention group the Trevor Project. “I realize that certain press outlets will probably want to paint this as in-fighting between J.K.
” “I’d worked with the Trevor Project for 12 years and it would have seemed like, I don’t know, immense cowardice to me to not say something,” Radcliffe says now. “I wanted to try and help people that had been negatively affected by the comments. And to say that if those are Jo’s views, then they are not the views of everybody associated with the Potter franchise.” In 2020, Radcliffe’s costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint similarly denounced the author’s comments.
