David Tennant Wishes J.K. Rowling ‘No Ill Will,’ But Hope She Will ‘Get Out of People’s Way’ In the Transgender Community: ‘Let People Be’
David Tennant hope Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling can 'let people be' in the transgender community.
In a report from The Guardian, Tennant, who starred in 2005’s “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” shared his thoughts about Rowling while answering questions about the author asked by a group of neurodivergent individuals on ITV’s “The Assembly.” In the same interview, Tennant compared the treatment of transgender people in the current age to a 1988 policy by the UK government that prohibited local authorities from promoting homosexuality.
