@jessiegender: Nicholas Hoult may have walked away from HBO’s Harry Potter reboot but quietly slipping out the side door isn’t the same thing as accountability. If the backlash made him reconsider, good. But owning the choice you made, acknowledging the harm, and doing something to repair it matters too. #nicholashoultoul#harrypotter#jkrowling#harrypottertiktok #transgender

Pippa Pirrip :

Apparently kit Harrington & his wife are super right wing.

Ked! :

Kit Harrington knows nothing

River :

this has nothing to do with squeezing out nostalgia. it's 100% jk rowling wanting a new crew of actors who will "overwrite" the previous cast in the public eye and be supportive of her terfy bigoted fascist bullshit

Moni 💋 :

"it's matter of nuance, she's hadled it very gracefully" meanwhile, jk rowling online: I'M GONNA USE ALL MY RICHES TO DESTROY TRANS PEOPLE MUHAHAHAH

✨Ais✨ :

Rupert Grint surprises and saddens me because he’s publicly stood with trans people in the past. But I am glad Radcliffe and Watson are still LOUDLY standing for what’s right.

Ash :

DO. NOT. FORGIVE. ANY. OF. THEM.

Ganymede's Hiding :

No, wait...that's an excellent point. You're willing to tank your fandom and good will over GILDEROY FUCKING LOCKHEART?!

Amy ✨ :

I mean yeah we should boycott and everything etc but you absolutely cannot say it's a franchise they've struggled to revive... it didn't need reviving. Whether that's in line with your own views or not it's fact and saying it like you do discredits everything else you say

Joe :

That interviewer describing it as a ‘Twitterverse controversy’ when she actively funding harm is crazy

Hank McCoy's Husband :

and he played an absolutely awful Beast. hate that guy

Will :) :

I hate when they're like "oh i disagree with her views and I'm for trans rights, BUTTT I DON'T CARE BECAUSE MONEYYYYY"

Golden Doodles & Little Boops :

I really appreciate the fact you kept the kids out of it. Shame, JK Rowling won't leave trans kids alone.

Rae :

“She’s handled it fairly gracefully” kills me. Sir, are we living on the same planet? Are we using the same dictionary? 😭😭

⋆⁺₊⋆✹𓂆 Aster 𓂆☾⋆⁺₊⋆ :

It pisses me off when people are defending celebrities, because "they're not online". Those people have their agents, whole PR teams, they know, they don't care and/or underestimate the audience and think their reputation and paycheck will be fine.

Creed’s Worm Guy :

these actors have everything to gain from being in this project. The backlash is temporary and will not hurt their careers in the long run. So I think choosing not to do it counts for something.

Daniela. :

No surprise about Kit Harrington, back in GOT times everyone was acting circles around him and it was very obvious that he would not be able to hold his own outside of the franchise

key :

Jk Rowling has an opinion and is entitled to it. Fair play to her 👌

itsthebkt :

So Sk :

Every time one of these actors gets announced I remember the James Acaster bit on Off-Menu about the still unannounced actors waiting for the day the shoe drops

Kaden Conorich-Author :

"she handled it very gracefully" he's very clearly never seen her tweets

Kira :

it's deeply embarrassing to put your love of a children's book series over trans people's lives. Even moreso to do it for money

Frilly Pink Records :

As a fan of Spaced and Shaun of the Dead etc Nick Frost's involvement really hurts and I can never see him in the same way ever again.

Dan :

Ironically his cowardice makes him a good casting for the role. I think they should cancel the whole thing

Harolddd :

im glad he dropped out even if it was for selfish reasons because of the amounts of tweets I saw saying "hes the only reason I would with this series". he did the right thing. but I will ALWAYS side eye him for accepting in the first place.

Kiwi Honey | 🍉🍉 | They/Them :

I’ve never seen so many transphobic comments before… wtf??
