Though J.K. Rowling has been beloved by fans for decades now, as her “Harry Potter” book series became some of the biggest hits in history, the past couple of years haven’t been so great for the author.

A couple of weeks ago, the Wizarding World fandom got riled up when it was reported that WarnerMedia is currently seeking out ways to spinoff the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise into the HBO Max TV series realm. At the time, WarnerMedia didn’t confirm nor deny the report and fans began to speculate what the potential series might look like.

Mads Mikkelsen is taking on one of the darkest wizards in the Harry Potter universe. The acclaimed Danish actor and Hannibal alum, 55, was announced in November as Johnny Depp‘s replacement for the role of Gellert Grindelwald for the upcoming third film in the Fantastic Beasts series. “They’re fantastic, nice people,” Mads shared with AP in a December 16 interview.

Ever since JK Rowling posted her highly controversial opinions on transgender on social media earlier this month, the author is facing a lot of backlash for her comments. Many people, including a list of celebrities, have been slamming the author for posting insensitive comments about the already vulnerable section of the society.

Over the past several years, we’ve seen JK Rowling go from being the creator of one of the most beloved fantasy novel series of all time, ‘Harry Potter,’ to becoming known as a transphobic writer that nearly always finds herself in the middle of some controversy. Normally, she’s able to disappear from social media for a bit and the furor wanes.

It’s clear that many fans are upset with JK Rowling after her most recent transphobic tweets made headlines. (“Most recent” being the important part of that, considering she has a history of transphobic comments.) Yesterday, we saw that ‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe spoke out against the comments, showing his support for the trans community.

JK Rowling is back in the news, but the ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Fantastic Beasts’ author isn’t earning a lot of fans with her latest comments. Recently, the author went on Twitter to defend her views on trans people, which is viewed by many as transphobic.
