Emma Watson affirms continued affection for JK Rowling despite public disagreement over transgender issues and a well-known rift. Watson has publicly supported the trans community and told trans fans they are seen, respected and loved. JK Rowling has expressed gender-critical views since 2019 and celebrated 'TERF VE Day' after a UK Supreme Court ruling about the legal definition of woman. In 2024 Rowling said on X she would not "forgive" Watson and other franchise stars for their views. Watson emphasizes that positive personal experiences with Rowling and support for trans people can coexist and that she remains open to dialogue.
