JK Rowling has slammed Emma Watson as being ‘ignorant of how ignorant she is’ amid their public disagreement over tr@ns issues. Since 2019, the Harry Potter author, 60, has been very vocal about her beliefs when it comes to the topic, with many of her Twitter /X posts being described as tr@nsphobic, and therefore come into disagreement with some of the stars of her films that disagree with her.

Emma, 35, found international success when she was cast as Hermione Granger in the blockbuster adaptations of Rowling’s books in 2001 alongside Daniel Radcliffe and has enjoyed fame and fortune ever since. Despite their differing viewers, Emma recently claimed that she could ‘still treasure Jo and the person that I had personal experiences with’.
But on Monday, the best-selling author – who famously went from living on state benefits to becoming a billionaire through the publication of her magical series – seemingly rejected the olive branch as she sensationally pointed out all the privileges Emma has had thanks to her that have come at a cost of her ‘experience’ in the real world.

She wrote on X: “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’ll never need a homeless shelter. She’s never going to be placed on a mixed s3x public hospital ward. I’d be astounded if she’s been in a high street changing room since childhood.
“Her ‘public bathroom’ is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-s3x changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run r@pe crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service?
“To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male r@pist who’s identified into the women’s prison? I wasn’t a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women’s rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. ”

Since 2019, the Harry Potter author, 60, has been very vocal about her beliefs when it comes to the topic, but has now taken aim at the way Hermione Granger actress Emma Watson has ‘poured petrol on the flames’ after she created the books that brought the actress fame and fortune(Image: Corbis via Getty Images)
Rowling, who opened up about her own historic experiences with domestic violence amid her public backlash, then claimed in her rant that she had received a ‘handwritten note’ from Emma, even though the actress still has her phone number, which read: “I’m so sorry for what you’re going through,” but it all came at a time when the author was under fire for her views and she accused Emma of doing nothing but ‘pouring petrol on the flames’ in a public sense.
She added: “This was back when the death, r@pe and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family’s safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.”
Speaking about Emma’s latest words on the On With Jay Shetty podcast, Rowling insisted she wouldn’t have spoken out had the Little Woman star not realised her ‘full-throated condemnation’ doesn’t really work.
She added: “The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me – a change of tack I suspect she’s adopted because she’s noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was – I might never have been this honest.”
Rowling, who previously claimed that she would ‘never forgive’ the stars of Harry Potter for the way they had shamed her publicly, signed off by reminding her followers that she has always had the ‘same right’ as Emma to discuss how she feels in public, and now she is doing just that.
She added: “Adults can’t expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend’s assassination, then assert their right to the former friend’s love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public – but I have the same right, and I’ve finally decided to exercise it.”

“They Thought She’d Stay Silent. She Left a Memoir Instead.” Virginia Giuffre—a fierce survivor, Epstein accuser, and tireless advocate—didn’t speak her truth on a stage or in headlines.
