HarryPotter star Daniel Radcliffe moderates a trans & nonbinary roundtable in the trailer for SharingSpace, combatting J.K. Rowling’s transphobia. Watch it here:
Harry Potter alum Daniel Radcliffe has further cemented his allyship with the LGBTQ community. The award-winning actor will join a group of trans and nonbinary youth in a heart-to-heart discourse about diversity and other topics concerning the community in the first episode of the upcoming YouTube video series, Sharing Space.
In the trailer, the actor is seen sitting beside six young trans and nonbinary people, discussing their identities and their passionate opinions about why they are more than just who they identify as. An outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ community and a longtime participant in The Trevor Project, Radcliffe chose to engage in a conversation that most people would prefer to avoid.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The actor previously said in a statement that despite the topic being brought up in the media so frequently, people rarely hear directly from the actual young people in the community. Sharing his delight over meeting the group of incredible young people, Radcliffe added: "At the end of the day, if you’re going to talk about trans kids, it might be useful to actually listen to trans kids.
If anything, Harry Potter—apart from teaching courage, bravery, and some other essential life lessons—also taught its readers to respect differences, and we have the muggle-born Hermione Granger to serve as an example. However, the Harry Potter author, J.K. Rowling, despite writing a magical, open-minded book, has aired her vitriolic and harmful opinions about the trans community.
The first episode of Sharing Space will premiere on The Trevor Project's YouTube channel on Friday, March 31, just in time for Transgender Day of Visibility. You can watch the trailer below.
