J.K. Rowling has written a new book about a character being persecuted for transphobic views.The announcement of the book comes after previous comments from the Harry Potter author, in which she mocked an article with the phrase “people who menstruate” in its headline and published a 3,000-word essay titled JK Rowling Writes about Her Reasons for Speaking Out on Sex and Gender Issues, resulted in a significant backlash from the trans community and beyond.Among those to criticise Rowling were Harry Potter stars Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.

J.K. Rowling says she made the decision not to participate in the HBO Max reunion special, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, which aired on New Year's Day. The 57-year-old author opened up about the decision over the weekend in an interview for with Graham Norton. «I wasn't actually [excluded],» Rowling told Norton, who assumed she had not been asked to join the special.

J.K. Rowling is finally addressing her absence from the Harry Potter reunion special.

It was her call. J.K. Rowling said she was not intentionally excluded from HBO Max’s Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special earlier this year.

J. Kim Murphy J.K. Rowling has explained her conspicuous absence from “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts,” stating that she declined an invitation to be included in the special. The author of the original “Harry Potter” series only appeared within a few excerpts of “Return to Hogwarts” via segments from a 2019 interview. Her limited presence was noted by critics and audiences around the special’s HBO Max premiere on Jan. 1 this year. Some viewers presumed that Rowling’s absence could be attributed to her troubled public image over the past few years. The author has been mired in controversy as she continues to voice sentiments that have been seen as harmful to the trans community, such as opposing laws that would make it easier for trans people to legally change their gender. Franchise stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have made public statements in support of the trans community since Rowling first faced controversy.
