If Keira Knightley could cast a spell, it would likely be one for a little more kindness.

The British Oscar-nominated actress, who recently joined the voiceover cast of an upcoming "Harry Potter" audiobook series, addressed fan criticism of author J.K. Rowling in an interview with Decider published Friday, Oct. 10.

Rowling, whose best-selling young adult series and accompanying movie franchise sparked a pop culture phenomenon in the 2000s, has drawn backlash in recent years for her outspoken views against the transgender community.

When asked by Decider if she knew about a fan "boycott" of Rowling's work, Knightley ,40, said she was "not aware of that."

"I'm very sorry," said Knightley, who was joined by her "Woman in Cabin 10" director Simon Stone. "You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."
