Radcliffe, who played boy wizard Potter in the wildly successful film adaptations of Rowling's best-selling books, has found himself at odds with Rowling on the thorny issue of gender identity.
LOS ANGELES, United States — Daniel Radcliffe has said he is saddened by author J.K. Rowling's stance on transgender rights, telling an interviewer he has not spoken to the "Harry Potter" creator in years.
"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." The public split was pounced upon by the British press, not least as the wildly successful Potter franchise had been embraced by children across the board.
"Celebs who cozied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatized detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces," wrote Rowling. Meryl Streep is one of the most feted actors in Hollywood history, with a record 21 Oscar nominations and three wins.
