JK Rowling has accused Emma Watson of “pouring petrol on the flames” when she was suffering death threats over trans rights.
The author rounded on Watson and the other former child stars of the Harry Potter films who disagreed with her criticism of trans ideology, claiming that they were “ignorant” and adding that, unlike them, she “wasn’t a multimillionaire at 14”.
I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.
I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should… https://t.co/c0pz19P7jc

Worth a revisit just to highlight that the ingrates are ungrateful little shits.
