Sean Biggerstaff Brands JK Rowling 'Bigot' Over Transgender Views

Harry Potter actor Sean Biggerstaff has publicly criticized J.K. Rowling for her celebration of the UK Supreme Court ruling that defined 'woman' under the Equality Act as referring only to biological females, a decision Rowling supported and reportedly helped fund. Biggerstaff called Rowling a 'bigot' and 'obsessed billionaire,' comparing her to Andrew Tate after she posted images of herself celebrating the ruling on a superyacht. He also aligned himself with Harry Potter co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, all of whom have previously distanced themselves from Rowling's stance on transgender rights. Biggerstaff mocked Rowling's responses on social media and dismissed the idea that she was being unfairly ostracized, referencing her significant wealth. The Supreme Court decision and Rowling's reaction sparked widespread backlash and protests, with critics arguing the ruling undermines trans rights while supporters, including Rowling, claim it protects women's rights. Biggerstaff continues to engage with the Harry Potter fan community but has made clear his strong disapproval of Rowling's views and public statements.
