Fiennes Comes to J.K. Rowling's Defense Over Abuse by Trans Activists
Or in Leftyspeak, Voldemort Endorses Rowling
[REDSTATE] Harry Potter’s universe is well known for subverting the reader’s expectations as to who is truly the good guys and the bad guys. Funny enough, people who played the villains in the Harry Potter moves continue to come out as being the one’s standing up to defend those who deserve defending.

And few people deserve defending quite like Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who is just as known for defending biological women against the encroachment of transgender culture as she is the creation of the millennial’s most-referenced fantasy world. This has caused the internet and much of the celebrity world to turn on her, with both Daniel Radcliff and Emma Watson making contradictory remarks about her.

But not every Harry Potter star is turning on the reason they had such a magical career.

Not long ago, Tom Felton, who played the villain Draco Malfoy in the Potter movies, expressed his appreciation for Rowling despite the backlash and credited her with bringing joy to millions of people. Hagrid’s actor, the late Robbie Coltrain directly stood up against the online trans mobs who came after Rowling, stating that they were just "waiting to be offended" and that they "wouldn’t have won the war."

In a Rowling-esque twist, it would appear that Voldemort himself is now coming to the forefront to stand with Rowling. Actor Ralph Fiennes has seen the ongoing assault on the author’s legacy and offered up a very reasonable take about Rowling’s position according to The Hollywood Reporter:

Fiennes, who played the villainous Lord Voldemort across four Harry Potter films, told the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

that Rowling is not an "obscene, uber-right-wing fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
," when discussing her comments over transgender issues, and that she doesn’t deserve the "verbal abuse" that has been directed at her.

"The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling. I mean, I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. But it’s not some obscene, uber-right-wing fascist," Fiennes said in a weekend magazine interview. "It’s just a woman saying, ’I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’ And I understand where she’s coming from. Even though I’m not a woman."
