Lithgow Unbothered by Rowling Controversy 🧙‍♂️

John Lithgow stepping into Dumbledore’s shoes for HBO’s Harry Potter reboot has fans split—not just over his casting, but his reaction to J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric. While celebs like Pedro Pascal and Nicola Coughlan have distanced themselves from Rowling, Lithgow says her views didn’t factor into his decision at all. Some fans see this as ignoring the controversy, while others argue the art should stand apart from the creator. Is this a case of separating art from artist, or just tone-deaf? #HarryPotter #JohnLithgow #JKRowling #FandomDebate #TransRights #Entertainment
