Ellise Shafer editorFollowing “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans tweets earlier this week – and her further defense of her comments in a 3,600 word essay – alums of the incredibly successful film franchise as well as other celebrities have publicly spoken out against the British writer.Most recently, Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the series, tweeted a short statement regarding her views on transgender rights.
Emma Watson revealed she stands in solidarity with the trans community following J.K. Rowling’s tweets.“Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are,” Watson, 30, wrote via Twitter on Wednesday, June 10.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said anti-racism demonstrations that took place over the weekend have been 'subverted by thuggery' after some activists clashed with police. Mr Johnson said people have a right to protest peacefully, however those that turned violent are a 'betrayal of the cause they serve'.
Emma Watson has also made her support of the Black Lives Matter movement very clear after getting backlash for her Blackout Tuesday posts. The Harry Potter actress shared a very powerful message about racism.
In support of Black Lives Matter, BTS released a statement in which the members declared that they “stand against racial discrimination” after the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, David McAtee and other unarmed Black Americans. The band took to their Twitter on Thursday, June 4, with a statement in Korean and English about how the K-pop group condemns systemic racial violence and discrimination.
Emma Watson will not stand for racial injustice, and she made that very clear with her Instagram post on June 3. The actress’s message was inspired by the latest death of a black man, George Floyd, by a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, which sparked a widespread conversation about racism in the United States. “I stand with you,” Emma told the black community in her post.
