HBO forced to defend JK Rowling after woke online trolls DEMAND she is removed from her own Harry Potter TV series over her views on transgender issues


HBO has defended JK Rowling after Gen Z launched a pile on the Harry Potter author over her views on transgender issues.

In recent years, Rowling has encountered backlash from key cast members of the original series following her remarks about the trans community in 2020, in which she said she believed women were defined by their biological sex and not their gender identity. Warner Bros, the production company behind the original films, has confirmed that Francesca Gardiner (L) and Mark Mylod (R), who both worked on acclaimed drama Succession, will be executive producers of the 'faithful adaptation' Meanwhile Jude Law, who portrays a young Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts, said the franchise's controversies involving Rowling, Johnny Depp, and Ezra Miller, was ''the trifecta of hitting yourself in the face'.
