After "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling shared a recent report showing that the British National Health Service did not know the long-term affects of transitioning children, fans wondered if the report would reconcile the author's relationship with the actors from the movies based on her books.
When one fan posted on social media, "ust waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology ... safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them ...," Rowling responded, "Not safe, I'm afraid." Rowling wrote an essay in 2020 that was deemed "transphobic," and celebrities spoke out against it at the time.
