JK Rowling may not attend Harry Potter 20th anniversary celebrations due to transphobia allegations

Recently, HBO Max released the trailer for the 20th anniversary special of the Harry Potter film series "Return to Hogwarts", but fans discovered that JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series of books, did not appear on the list of invited guests. According to the famous media Hollywood Reporter, all the actors and staff of the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will participate in the production of the special.

According to a reporter from The Hollywood Reporter, the author JK Rowling's absence from the special may be related to the previous accusations against her for being anti-transgender. In June 2020, she tweeted about Devex publications, saying "Creating an equal world for those who menstruate after the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic."

Rowling deliberately misspelled "Women" several times to mock the term "people with menstruation" in the article title. As a result, Twitter users believed that the author of the article treated transgender people and other non-binary people unequally. In response to the criticism, Rowling said that she was not against transgender people.
