J.K. Rowling is making her feelings known about the stars of "Harry Potter" speaking out against her political views.
Rowling, who authored the beloved young adult series and was integral in the making of a wildly popular movie franchise based on the books, has been an outspoken opponent of transgender rights in recent years.
In a lengthy tirade on X, taking aim at actress Emma Watson's "privilege" and recounting personal communications between the two, Rowling said that she had held her tongue for too long and was ready to enter the ring with the "Beauty and the Beast" actress.
"I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created," Rowling, 60, wrote in a Sept. 29 post. "The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.
"Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology," she continued. "Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them."
