"JK Rowling has created this amazing canon for young people, young kids' literature that has jumped into the consciousness of society. Young and old people love Harry Potter and the Harry Potter stories. It's so much about acceptance. It's about good versus evil. It's about kindness versus cruelty. It's deeply felt. I find it ironic and somewhat inexplicable that Rowling has expressed such views, he added."
"I've read about them, and I've never met her. She's not really involved in this production at all. The people who are re-adapting Harry Potter and turning it into an eight-year-long TV series are remarkable. These are people I really want to work with. It upsets me when people are vehemently opposed to me having anything to do with this, he added."
John Lithgow called JK Rowling's views on transgender rights ironic and inexplicable. He described the Harry Potter canon as an influential, acceptance-focused body of children's literature beloved by multiple generations. Rowling serves as an executive producer on an upcoming, high-budget HBO adaptation planned as an eight-year television series. He has never met Rowling and she is not really involved in the production. He praised the creative team adapting the material and described Dumbledore as a beautiful role. He received an open letter urging him to walk away and chose not to leave the role, expressing upset at the vehement backlash.
