Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has hit out at Emma Watson in a lengthy statement on X, saying: “She has so little experience of real life she’s ignorant of how ignorant she is.”

Watson, who famously played Hermione Granger in the film adaptations of Rowling’s books, recently starred on a podcast interview with Jay Shetty where she voiced her “deepest wish” that she be permitted to separate her relationship with the author from their opposing views on trans rights.

Rowling, a staunch advocate for anti-trans policies in the U.K., has regularly come under fire for her transphobia. She has often been publicly critcized over her politics in recent years, notably by the main trio of Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, who have expressed support for the trans community.
