On April 16, the UK Supreme Court ruled in favor of For Women Scotland, a not-for-profit company aiming to outlaw gender identity when it comes to sex-based rights.

The UK Supreme Court has officially stated that within the Equality Act of 2010, the terms “man” and “woman” refer to biological sex, making anyone who is transgender not legally recognized.

J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, is now facing criticism for her support of the group as she reportedly donated £70,000 to them and posted a celebratory photo to X.

In the photo, she smokes a cigar with one hand and holds a wine glass in the other. The post is captioned, “I love it when a plan comes together,” followed by hashtags for the Supreme Court and women’s rights.

“To those celebrating the fact that I’m smoking a blunt: it’s a cigar. Even if it decided to identify as a blunt for the purposes of this celebration, it would remain objectively, provably and demonstratively a cigar,” she wrote in a secondary post, making a jab at gender identity.

While the post received both positive and negative sentiments on X, many celebrities, including those involved with Rowling’s past work, spoke out against her celebration.

Activist and freelance journalist Tariq Ra’ouf made a video on Instagram the next day asking the general public to begin boycotting anything affiliated with her that would earn her revenue at the end of the day.

The video caught the attention of actor Pedro Pascal, who has been very open about his stance on transphobia, even wearing a “Protect the Dolls” shirt to the London Thunderbolts premiere.

“Awful disgusting SHIT is exactly right,” Pascal commented. “Heinous LOSER behavior.”

Saturday Night Live also briefly commented on the situation in a skit on May 3 where James Austin, dressed up as President Donald Trump, signed more executive orders, one being a pardon on Rowling because she created the wizarding world, “a wonderful place for overweight millennials to stake their entire identity, well past the point of being cute.”

Casey Bloys, HBO CEO, was asked about Rowling and whether or not the ongoing controversy would influence continuing the creation of the TV show adaptation of the books.

“It’s pretty clear that those are her personal, political views,” Bloys said on The Town with Matthew Belloni podcast. “She’s entitled to them. Harry Potter is not secretly being infused with anything. If you want to debate her, you can go on Twitter.”

While Warner Bros revealed that it is searching for new faces, straying away from any of the original actors, the original actor for Draco Malfoy, Tom Felton, is reportedly being rewarded for his loyalty to the author by being brought back behind the scenes.

“I’ll definitely be sneaking into a background shot as an extra on the adaptation,” Felton said in an interview with PEOPLE.

The three lead actors of the original Harry Potter films, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have all openly expressed their own disagreements with her views on trans rights over the years, this time being no different.

They, along with others from the franchise and spinoff, signed an open letter to the UK Film and TV Industry for support of trans rights.

Rowling claimed on X that the open letter does more harm.

“Call me lacking in proper womanly sympathy, but I find the harm they’ve enabled and in some cases directly championed or funded—the hounding and shaming of vulnerable women, the forced loss of livelihoods, the unregulated medical experiment on minors—tends to dry up my tears at source,” she wrote.

Rowling continued that they will one day be “rubbing shoulders with those who call for women to be hanged and decapitated for wanting all-female rape crisis centres, and furiously denying clear and mounting evidence of the greatest medical scandal in a century.”

Just under 1,500 people in the industry also signed the letter, including makeup artists, actors, writers, directors, costume designers, producers, cinematographers and editors.

Along with adding her own signature to the letter, Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan went on Instagram describing how disgusted she felt as she saw people celebrating the court’s ruling.

Coughlan pledged to match any donation up to £10,000 made to the UK charity Not a Phase for uplifting trans+ adults. In just six days, she was able to help raise £120,000 for the charity.
