Actor Daniel Radcliffe feels sad by Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s constant anti-transgender comments and her support for others with transphobic views.

The actor revealed that he has not spoken to the author, during an interview with the Atlantic. “It makes me sad, ultimately, because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic,” Radcliffe, who played the title role in eight Potter films, said of Rowling and her controversial comments.
