<br>We’ve seen transphobic institutions make progress in the wake of Rowling’s support, and this being brought into the timelines of even well-meaning individuals only serve to spread them further and wider. I understand the noble intention, and figures like this should be demonised and called out where appropriate, but I fear we’re forgetting about the echochamber we exist within and how substantial Rowling and Harry Potter are in the cultural zeitgeist. Fantastic Beasts is still getting a third film, The Cursed Child is still killing it on the West End, and I bet the films will be all over television during the Christmas period. Harry Potter isn’t going anywhere, it’s eternally relevant and will be read to generations of children to come.

The Guardian, a left leaning newspaper that still frequently platforms anti-trans columnists and rarely gives actual trans people a voice, has a Person of the Year much like Time’s, except it is voted for by the public - or more specifically, Guardian readers. "In a sign of the ongoing debate over gender issues, many readers also nominated the author JK Rowling," reads the Guardian’s introduction. While other nominees have achieved specific things this year - Gareth Southgate for leading England to the Euro final for the first time in their history, Dame Sarah Gilbert for championing non-profit vaccines, Simone Biles for her openness on mental health in sport at the Olympics - JK Rowling is there because of her views on gender we’ve known for quite some time. Even her infamous TERF Wars blog post came out in 2020. She is the de facto mascot of the anti-trans movement, having been mentioned by various government officials around the world as they have pushed through anti-LGBT legislation. Guardian reader Michelle, 45, is the exact demographic of middle class women who have likely never met a trans person but still don’t like them very much, and she writes Rowling’s blurb, ending with "She is very inspiring for women and is supportive of women’s rights, despite people trying to drag her down."<br><br> <br>The Wizarding World in particular, especially at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, has made a great deal out of the singing toads that the [https://Hogwartslegacynews.com/ Hogwarts Legacy news]' choir use.

Knowing this, it is only logical to assume that the same fight between good and evil that fans will remember from the books will play a significant role in the game's narrative, and will likely represent a more internal struggle in the player's character decisions when it comes to giving in to the temptation of evil, or doing the right th<br><br> <br>Hogwarts Legacy has been officially described as " an immersive, open-world RPG ", so players can expect that it will involve a fair amount of exploration, possibly to known locations of the Wizarding World.

I don’t think anyone should be tweeting JK Rowling saying "you’re a massive cunt I hope you die," but I also don’t think I should be called a paedophile degenerate rapist by her followers. And yet I am. And she never says anything about it. If the above sources aren’t enough for you to understand why JK Rowling gets labelled a transphobe, the fact she has frequently called out abuse against her supporters but never tried to dissuade them from spouting vitriol in return, means many of us resent how she has tacitly endorsed them.


Boggarts Though technically considered an amortal non-being, Boggarts are shapeshifters that assume the form of the observer's worst fear.
