Since J.K. Rowling expressed her stance as an opponent of transgender individuals, certain cast members have voiced their disagreement with her. Recently, another voice has joined this group: Sean Biggerstaff, known for portraying Oliver Wood.
Lately, the UK Supreme Court decided that transgender women are not recognized as women, and it was reported that JK Rowling played a significant role in funding and advocating for this decision. Many people, like Sean Biggerstaff, took to the streets to support trans rights. Biggerstaff shared a tweet from Graham Linehan, a writer for Father Ted, who criticized Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, saying they were disloyal for not supporting Rowling in her attacks against the transgender community. Biggerstaff responded to Linehan by stating that these individuals are living fulfilling lives and have not pushed their loved ones away with their preoccupation with hate.
In essence, this post by Biggerstaff sparked a wave of Rowling supporters on the actor’s social media, questioning his lack of support for Rowling’s anti-trans views given their past collaboration. Biggerstaff countered with a question, “Is there any professional or personal realm where people often feel obligated to remain loyal to any former associate whose success they have derived from, regardless of subsequent events?
As a die-hard fan, I might’ve rephrased it like this: “Hold on, are people implying J.K. Rowling discovered me at my school or youth club out of nowhere? I’d already made some strides in child acting before becoming Oliver Wood in Harry Potter.
Ultimately, when asked if he would return the earnings from Harry Potter, Biggerstaff responded, “Definitely. If I ever have doubts about anything Jo has said, it makes sense for Warner Bros Inc to keep the money they owed me. This seems reasonable.
Over the last week, Biggerstaff has shared insights on the recent UK Supreme Court ruling and related topics, such as the shift in focus among its supporters towards expelling immigrants from the UK, who are being accused of jeopardizing women’s safety.
The HBO Harry Potter Series Is Still Going Ahead
Despite concerns about J.K. Rowling’s actions potentially causing issues at HBO, they remain committed to their upcoming Harry Potter TV series. In fact, some key roles have already been filled: Nick Frost is set to portray Hagrid, Paapa Essiedu will bring Severus Snape to life, Janet McTeer will embody Professor McGonagall, and John Lithgow has been chosen to play Albus Dumbledore.
Other performers have shown firm opposition towards this idea. Following the Supreme Court decision, they expressed their feelings by saying, “I’d rather stay away from those new Harry Potter characters. Not interested enough to even get close.
