David Tennant Critiques JK Rowling During Harry Potter Series Discussion

David Tennant recently made a pointed remark about J.K. Rowling during a panel at Planet ComicCon, inquiring if he would consider returning for the upcoming Harry Potter TV series. He humorously stated that while the stories are great, his contribution to the franchise has likely been made, adding, 'I’m told there’s an executive producer who doesn’t love me on that show,' a clear reference to Rowling. This comment elicited laughter and applause from the audience and highlighted the ongoing feud between the actor and the author over transgender rights. Tennant, a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ issues, previously criticized Conservative politician Kemi Badenoch and has faced backlash from Rowling for his outspoken views. Their conflict escalated after Tennant's remarks at the British LGBT Awards, where he wished Badenoch would 'shut up' regarding her anti-trans stance. The exchange has reignited discussions about Rowling's controversial positions and Tennant's support for the trans community.
