J.K. Rowling reveals why she did not appear in the “Harry Potter” special.

Many people associated with the show appeared in the special, including Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), who played the main characters. This was a treat for fans.

 

On the other hand, J.K. Rowling, the author of the original novel, did not participate in the show itself, appearing only in the VTR, leading many viewers to wonder if her comments, which could be seen as criticism of the LGBT+ community, had an impact.

 

For several years, J.K. Rowling has been making statements questioning the broad acceptance of LGBTQ+ people.

 

She asked, “What’s the term for ‘people with menstruation’?” There used to be a term for these people, right? Wibben? Wimpand? Womad?” The tweet drew heavy criticism for making fun of a world in which “menstruating women” are not referred to as “women.

 

On Saturday, August 27, Rowling appeared on the radio program “Virgin Radio Saturday” and explained in her own words why she did not participate in the 20th anniversary special.

 

I was asked to be on the show,” she said. But I thought, ‘I don’t want to be in it,'” she said, revealing that it was her own choice not to appear. The purpose of this special was only to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film,” she continued.

 

Rowling then added, “No one said I was going to appear in the film. I was only a ‘request,’ and I turned it down,” she stressed.
