In the realm of magic and muggles, where Daniel Radcliffe once wielded a wand as Harry Potter, he now brandishes the power of his voice against the anti-trans rhetoric of J.K. Rowling. Despite the fond memories and gratitude Radcliffe harbors for the world Rowling created — a world that launched his career and shaped the childhoods of millions — the new father finds himself in profound disagreement with her harmful TERF,or trans-exclusionary radical feminist, beliefs. “It makes me really sad, ultimately,” Radcliffe shared with The Atlantic, reflecting on his relationship with Rowling and the empathy he once felt was inherent to her stories. “Because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.”
