J.K. Rowling Says ‘I Wouldn’t’ Fire Paapa Essiedu from HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ for Supporting Trans Rights: ‘I Don’t Have the Power’ and ‘Wouldn’t Exercise It If I Did’
Rowling stated on platform X, when discussing Essiedu’s article, that she lacks the authority to fire an actor from the series and would not use it if she did. She believes in allowing people to keep their jobs and income, even when their personal beliefs differ from hers, as they are legally protected.
