What happened between JK Rowling and Emma Watson? A timeline of the Harry Potter stars’ rift
J.K. Rowling recently slammed Emma Watson, calling her "ignorant" and "privileged" in a lengthy X post, intensifying their rift over transgender rights. “Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is," she said. This follows Watson's podcast comments where she expressed treasuring their past relationship despite disagreeing with Rowling's views. The long-standing disagreement stems from Rowling's 2020 essay on biological sex.
