JK Rowling has come under fire in the recent months after offending Harry Potter fans with her transphobic comments. The author has made multiple transphobic remarks on Twitter. Back in June, she poked fun at trans people posting an article about “people who menstruate”. She then tried to apologize in a long article but it was more of an attack on the trans community than an apology.

Rowling recently published a book called Troubled Blood that is based on a cisgender man who dresses as a woman and kills people.

While JK Rowling is not directly involved in the upcoming Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy, the author will earn royalties from the game’s sales. She also profits from the whole Wizarding World universe at the same time. She did create it so it is only fair. However, it seems WB Games is set to limit her voice in the game in fear of it affecting sales. Harry Potter fans have already started pawning off collectable materials after the author began her transphobic rants.
