David Tennant Criticizes J.K. Rowling When Asked About Harry Potter TV Series

The actor, known for his support of transgender rights, cast doubt on his return to the franchise due to Rowling's involvement as an executive producer.

David Tennant, during a Q&A at Planet ComicCon, expressed skepticism about reprising his role in the upcoming Harry Potter TV series, citing a strained relationship with an unnamed executive producer widely presumed to be J.K. Rowling.
Tennant's remarks come as he remains a prominent advocate for transgender rights, a stance that has led to public clashes with Rowling over her controversial views on the issue.
Rowling has previously criticized Tennant and other former Harry Potter cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, for their support of transgender rights.
The Harry Potter TV series, currently in production by Warner Bros., has faced significant backlash due to Rowling's involvement, with fans calling for boycotts and expressing concerns about the franchise's direction.
Recent casting updates for the series include John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, while additional roles are still being negotiated.
