Actor Jim Broadbent, who played Professor Horace Slughorn in three Harry Potter films, defended author J.K. Rowling in a recent interview about her position on transgender issues, asserting that he would take on her critics “if it came to it” and called the attacks on her"sad abuse."
Broadbent acted in a groundbreaking movie The Crying Game, which put a spotlight on the transgender issue when the plot revealed the leading character falling in love with a transgender character whom he believed was a biological woman. “I don’t think that’s feasible in the long run,” he said. “Actors can play all sorts, and disabled actors can play all sorts. You can’t start making rules.”
Broadbent's comments in support of Rowling are in contrast to his younger co-stars in the series, who have been appealing to transgender activists."To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you," he added.
