Miriam Margolyes has said that she agrees with the stance the late Robbie Coltrane previously took on JK Rowling, saying that she will not put the Harry Potter author ‘to one side’.
Co-host Justin Webb then brought up, saying that he ‘stood by’ her ‘when she started to get it in the neck from some trans activists’.
‘He stuck with her, and very forcibly so,’ Webb said, as Margolyes replied: ‘Good for him. Good for him.’ She continued: ‘It’s a difficult area, and as a gay woman, I don’t know what to say about it. I just want everybody to do what they want.’ Webb then pressed further on the subject, saying that when it comes to Rowling, ‘everyone who was involved in the Harry Potter franchise has had to make a decision, haven’t they? Do we say, “Look, she’s a wonderful woman, it’s an extraordinary thing,” or do they cut her out and just put it to one side?’After hearing about Coltrane’s views, Margolyes responded: ‘I’m with him. I would absolutely not put her to one side. I think that’s just silly. Let’s talk it through.
