David Tennant Wishes J.K. Rowling ‘No Ill Will,’ But Hope She Will ‘Get Out of People’s Way’ In the Transgender Community: ‘Let People Be’

David Tennant has publicly defended J.K. Rowling as a renowned author of "Harry Potter" books while criticizing her recent controversial social media comments about transgender individuals, stating he hopes society can let people be and stop overstepping in others' lives. In the same interview, Tennant also compared Rowling's treatment of transgender people to a 1988 UK policy promoting homosexuality as absurd, calling the current situation similarly problematic. Other "Harry Potter" actors like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint have also publicly opposed Rowling's views in recent years.
