J.K. Rowling Threatens ‘Harry Potter’ Fan With Lawsuit For Posting Lies About Her Family


JK Rowling threatens 'Harry Potter' fan with legal action they posted lies about her family in an apparent attack on her transgender views.

JK Rowling has threatened a Harry Potter fan with a lawsuit after the person posted untruths about her family in an apparent attack on the author’s transgender views. Rowling said she would be forced to take legal action if Wizarding News, a 22-year-old Harry Potter fan site, does not remove fabricated X messages claiming she has an estranged daughter and grandchild. Wizarding News is a staunch critic of Rowling’s views on gender identity, describing her as a “small-minded bigot hellbent on denigrating trans people at every possible opportunity.”
