Rowling<\/a>, who has been one of the few celebrities to express her disagreement with the transgender community.<\/p>\n<p>Radcliffe, an English actor best known for portraying the main character in the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/harry-potter\">Harry Potter<\/a>\u201d film franchise, had previously been close with the British billionaire author. However, like many fans and some co-stars, he\u2019s tried to distance himself after Rowling stood up to people demanding the world accept that men could become women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason I was felt very, very much as though I needed to say something when I did was because, particularly since finishing \u2018Potter,\u2019 I\u2019ve met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that,\u201d the 33-year-old actor told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2022\/11\/daniel-radcliffe-jk-rowling-transgender-harry-potter-1234778156\/\">IndieWire<\/a> during a recent interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so seeing them hurt on that day I was like, I wanted them to know that not everybody in the franchise felt that way,\u201d Radcliffe said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was really important as I\u2019ve worked with the [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/lgbtq\">LGBTQ<\/a> non-profit suicide prevention organization] Trevor Project for more than 10 years, and so I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve been able to look myself in the mirror had I not said anything,\u201d continued. \u201cBut it\u2019s not mine to guess what\u2019s going on in someone else\u2019s head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201csomething\u201d he\u2019s referring to is an open letter published in 2020 which announced his support for trans-identifying individuals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm,\u201d he wrote at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While other \u201cHarry Potter\u201d co-stars, including Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, tried to distance themselves from Rowling, at least one actor came to her defense. The author\u2019s comments on trans issues have led to extreme hatred and threats via social media, which Lord Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes said was \u201cappalling.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it\u2019s appalling. I mean, I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. But it\u2019s not some obscene, \u00fcber-right-wing fascist,\u201d Fiennes said in October, as The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/its-appalling-even-lord-voldemort-has-had-enough-of-the-verbal-abuse-hurled-at-j-k-rowling\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just a woman saying, \u2018I\u2019m a woman and I feel I\u2019m a woman and I want to be able to say that I\u2019m a woman.\u2019 And I understand where she\u2019s coming from. Even though I\u2019m not a woman,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Radcliffe is doubling down on his original stance against \u201cHarry Potter\u201d creator J.K.
