If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹
Actress Keira Knightley answers a question about voicing a character in a new audiobook version of a Harry Potter book, which touches on J.K. Rowling’s views regarding the trans issue.
Keira sarcastically apologizes and shuts it down by saying that we should all learn to get along despite having different opinions.
I came across this clip on TikTok, and as you can imagine, the very predictable crowd is furious in the comments section and has said they’ll boycott everything related to Keira Knightley *eye roll*
As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?
Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?
That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?
That men don’t belong in women’s sport?
That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?
That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?
That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?
That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?
That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?
That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?
That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?
That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?
That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?
That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?
Let me have your thoughts.
It's such an obvious performative ritual. "If I mention Harry Potter, I must include a slight against the author, otherwise I will be damned". No explanation of which positions you are or aren't supporting. Just "I, too, know to say the thing"
Stereotype does not define femininity. It’s sad to see female having non-stereotypical femininity feelings being framed as like non-binary or a gay man...
I sincerely hope @jk_rowling takes these cowardly liars to the cleaners…
These are the type of people who, if ever they were involved in a fight, would always be a) in a pack & b) continue to attack the victim, as they lay unconscious on the ground.
Alone, they’re nothing.
J.K. Rowling‘s critics jumped to the conclusion that she had invited Epstein, but in a post on X/Twitter, the 'Harry Potter' author denied ever meeting or communicating with the criminal. The DoJ documents support her recollection of events

It’s not just beyond silly — it’s the smear of the moment, designed to distract from your great advocacy on behalf of women and children. That’s how this game is played now: attack the messenger when you can’t rebut the argument. I like social media for what it can do, but I can't stand the cesspool that comes with it
