tweeting a controversial statement disregarding the equality of transexuality. Since posting the statement, a number of Harry Potter cast members have taken to various media platforms to clearly disassociate themselves with the author's comments, making it clear that they personally support the LGBTQ community.
Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe was the first to do so, when he wrote an essay to the Trevor Project, a non-profit organisation dedicated to crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBTQ people. “Transgender women are women,” he wrote.
