Voldemort Actor Ralph Fiennes Defends J.K. Rowling After Her Comments On Trans People
Ralph Fiennes, the actor who brought Lord Voldermort to life in the Harry Potter films, weighed in on the reaction that the series’ creator J.K. Rowling faced after making a series of comments many interpreted as being transphobic. “I can’t understand the vitriol directed at her,” Fiennes, 58, told The Telegraph. “I can understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational. I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing.”
