If I worked with people, made them famous even, and they came out as transphobic then I'd certainly hate them. I'd probably dunk on them. But I just wouldn't view them as ungrateful or as backstabbing. I think you need to be a certain kind of person for that. It seems so weird to me

So apparently Rowling is attacking the cast of the Harry Potter films again and calling them “back-stabbing colleagues.” To call her egomaniacal is putting it mildly.

It should be the same with JKR.
"T'would to please the fair privy-council, I bring forth a numbered liste of mine issues where it would concern the driving of unfettered geese 'pon the market square during the shriventide seasone!"
If anything, she owes them because they helped make HP famous.
She sees these actors as *her characters* despite being completely autonomous.
Not surprising or unusual in spiteful, bitter, and resentful people - it's how they are wired. Look at Reform etc. - the same wiring.
Almost like movies are a collaborative effort, not just the work of a petty author-tyrant with a lungful of black mold and a dream...
You helped them and they’re promoting a movement that wants to kill you? Seems backstabby.
That’s how lady Moldemort convinces herself she’s right; thinking trans rights are an existential threat to her.
I am so happy that the cast has spoken out tho, they could’ve just been silent.
Also Radcliffe especially already had a successful career as a child actor; he'd have made it without her. *All* of them became famous due to their own merits (and it helped that the film scripts improved on the books).
