How 'Harry Potter' reunion handles J.K. Rowling controversy

LA Times  

“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling at the world premiere of the film “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” in Paris. In the weeks leading up to the highly anticipated program, streaming New Year’s Day on HBO Max, not a single teaser, trailer or poster has featured “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling, who has come under fire in recent years for repeatedly expressing anti-transgender views. Thank God we found him.’” Rowling doesn’t show up again until about 19 minutes in to describe the “mind-blowing” experience of walking through Hogwarts’ Great Hall on the set of the first film, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Her final appearance comes toward the end of the special, which sees cast and creatives reflecting on the lasting legacy of the franchise. For example: “Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Chamber of Secrets” director Chris Columbus talks about meeting with Rowling to share his “vision” for the flagship film; Helena Bonham Carter recalls Rowling personally reassuring her of her character’s importance; and Radcliffe reveals that only the late Alan Rickman could persuade Rowling to divulge plot details from the later novels before they were published. More than 20 years after “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” hit theaters, Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric has continued to fuel discourse about separating art from the artist — a concept Radcliffe touched on while declaring his loyalty to the trans community last year: “To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you,” he said.
