Watson and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint have all spoken out in support of transgender rights, distancing themselves from Rowling.

She was asked about forgiving Daniel Radcliffe following the publication of the Cass report.

Willoughby, who is a trans woman, said Rowling had ‘definitely committed a crime’ by calling her a man.
