A hotly anticipated new video game set in the “Harry Potter” universe appears to feature a trans character, which would be a first for the franchise. “Hogwarts Legacy” is an action role-playing game in which players explore Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the nearby village of Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley and other iconic locations featured in the books and movies. During one in-game quest, players meet Sirona Ryan, owner of the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade.
Though Rowling has said she supports trans people, she also has expressed gender essentialist ideas and criticized mainstream transgender rights movements. “When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman … then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside,” Rowling wrote in a 2020 essay defending her views.
