Making her name thanks to “Harry Potter” but now Emma Watson is standing up against the “mother” of the famous series.

The hot issue causing tension on social network Twitter at the moment is the war of words and criticism of Emma Watson by netizens. Emma was caught up in controversy with JK Rowling, the “mother” of the famous blockbuster “Harry Potter”, supporting Emma Watson’s name when she transformed into the character Hermione.

Specifically, JK Rowling made a controversial and discriminatory comment about transgender people: “Only women have periods” and intentionally made a pun combining the names of men and women. Soon after, other famous figures stood out to protest JK Rowling’s statement, including “Harry Potter” Daniel Radcliffe. After that, JK Rowling further revealed that, in the past, she tried to escape a violent marriage and was a victim of sexual assault when she was young.

After that, Emma Watson spoke bluntly: “Transgender people have the right to tell everyone who they are and they deserve to have their own lives without being questioned or denied by others. I want all transgender followers to know that I, along with many other people in the world, always watch over, respect and love you,” then continuously shared organizations that donate and support transgender people.

Emma’s tweet received 1.2 million likes in just 12 hours. However, since then, Emma has received countless critical comments: “I have never seen someone ‘bite the hand that feeds’ like her. JK Rowling is just revealing that she was a victim of sexual assault, and you respond like that? Your concept of ‘human rights’ is so flippant, it’s a joke”.

Not only Emma, ​​another Harry Potter actress, Bonnie Wright, also stood up against JK Rowling’s statement with a softer tweet: “If ‘Harry Potter’ is the source of love and belongs to you, then that love is limitless. There is no judgment or question. Transgender women are women”. However, Bonnie was also “stoned” by the online community: “You would be nothing without JK Rowling. You should be ashamed.”Currently, the debate between the two sides is extremely tense. One side defends J.K. Rowling and criticizes the “Harry Potter” cast for being ungrateful, while the other side stands by the cast because they think they are straightforward in expressing their correct opinions, and at the same time criticizes J.K. Rowling for making discriminatory statements against transgender people.
