What a dumb thing to say. twitter.com/Hells4Heroes/s…Why did the actress receive backlash?GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT recently reported that Warner Bros. is looking into making a new Harry Potter movie, featuring the original trio consisting of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson reprising their iconic roles.However, sources close to the actress have revealed that she will only be returning to the franchise if JK Rowling is not involved in any way.While Watson hasn't mentioned any reasons for her decision, people believe that it could be based on a history of anti-trans remarks made by Rowling.Rowling has a history of posting anti-trans sentiments on Twitter. The writer received major backlash from the internet community, who labeled her as a TERF. TERF is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminists, who advocate radical feminism and believe that a trans woman’s gender identity is not legitimate.Following the criticism received by internet users, all three actors, including Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson, decided to address the situation by posting supportive messages toward the trans community on their social media accounts.
