This comes after Rowling attracted a fierce backlash in 2020 after criticising an article which referred to ‘people who menstruate’
The actor, 35, is best known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the wizarding world, spoke out and praised her as 'no one has single-handedly done more for bringing joy to so many different generations and walks of life'. .
In a recent interview with The Times, Tom praised the author for her contribution to literature. He said: “I couldn’t speak for what others have said or what she said, to be completely honest, but I’m often reminded, attending Comic Cons [fantasy conventions] in particular, that no one has single-handedly done more for bringing joy to so many different generations and walks of life.
He added: "We should enjoy celebrating each other’s differences.” The 35-year-old actor, like many of his co-stars, joined the series as a child and grew up making the eight films over a 10-year period, ending in 2011. He wrote: "Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I.
