Jason Isaacs stated that he did not join his Harry Potter castmates in criticism of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter author over their views on trans issues. She had ‘poured an enormous amount into making this world a better place’.
Rowling, who is best remembered for his role as Lucius Malfoy, said Rowling’s charitable work was ‘unquestionably good’. He had worked directly with Lumos, so he wouldn’t ‘jump on her back.
Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, the franchise’s younger stars have spoken out against her when they expressed concerns that Ms Rowling was putting biological women at risk to support trans rights.
Isaacs stated that he’d rather have a chat with the author of the book than sharing his opinions on the trans row, which dominates Twitter.
He spoke to The Telegraph and said that there was a lot of information about Jo.
“You know, my interest is in complex people and I love playing them. Because it is such a complex minefield, I do not want to be drawn into trans-related conversations.
Jason Isaacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy (pictured in the fourth movie), has stated that he is not joining his Harry Potter costars in criticalizing JK Rowling’s views on transgender issues. “She has invested an immense amount of her fortune in making the world better,” he said.
Rowling raised concerns about the possibility of biological women being exempted from trans rights.
“She has her views, and I have mine. Both of them differ in different ways.
‘But one of the things that people should know about her too – not as a counter-argument – is that she has poured an enormous amount of her fortune into making the world a much better place, for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children, through her charity Lumos. This is unquestionably good.
“Many Harry Potter actors worked hard for this role and have seen the results.”
‘So for all that she has said some very controversial things, I was not going to be jumping to stab her in the front – or back – without a conversation with her, which I’ve not managed to have yet.’
He told The Telegraph that the 58 year-old had used Twitter multiple times to discuss other controversial subjects, including Trump and Brexit. But he said that he was tired of it’s divisive nature.
He also said that he believes some controversial issues are exaggerated, like Jon Stewart’s remarks about Harry Potter’s portrayal of goblins.
Isaacs stated that he’d like to talk with Rowling about the trans row before deciding whether to meet up.
Stewart’s radio broadcast was intended to be humorous.
You must be cautious [of social media rows].
“I believe it’s one reason there’s been such a huge growth in WhatsApp group. I now put a lot more energy into WhatsApp groups than Twitter.
US comedian Jon Stewart slammed the author over the goblins that run Gringotts bank in her Harry Potter series on his podcast, The Problem with Jon Stewart.
Stewart, who is Jewish, questioned why Rowling chose to ‘throw Jews in there to run the f***ing underground bank’ in a fictional world where people ‘can ride dragons and have pet owls’.
Rupert Grint who played Ron Weasley on Potter, made similar comments.
Grint (33), said to The Sunday Times that she likens JK Rowling as an auntie. My auntie doesn’t always agree with me, but I still consider her my auntie. This is a difficult one.
The 56-year-old author was absent from the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Reunion released earlier this month – but the film’s cast said her statements about gender were not responsible.
For her remarks, Miss Rowling was vilified and criticized by trans activists

The author stated later that she understood ‘every trans person’s right to feel authentic and comfortable in their own lives’. Later she added that she would march for anyone who was discriminated against due to being trans.
Grint compared Rowling’s opinions on trans rights with those of a relative to whom he was not in agreement
Under the title: “J.K. Rowling writes about her reasons for speaking out on gender and sexual issues.
Daniel Radcliffe played Harry Potter and Emma Watson was Hermione Grafinger’s actress. They came out for the transgender community.
Rowling was not transphobic in spite of intense criticisms from trans activists who called for a boycott.
Twitter: “If sex wasn’t real then women worldwide are living reality.”
“I am a trans person and I love them, but eliminating the notion of sex is limiting the possibility of people being able to discuss their lives in a meaningful way.”
