The controversial author of the Harry Potter saga lashed out at Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the films, saying she has "so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is."
She also accused Emma of “trashing women's rights” and “using” the author for her “purpose.”
Rowling’s latest attack on the actress came after Emma sat down for an interview with Jay Shetty for the September 24 podcast episode of On Purpose With Jay Shetty and spoke about her disagreements with the author regarding transgender rights.
When asked if she'd be interested in having a conversation with the Wizarding World creator, she said, “I just don't want to say anything that continues to weaponize a really toxic debate and conversation, which is maybe why I don't comment or continue to comment.
"Not because I don't care about her or about the issue, but because the way the conversation is being had feels really painful for me."
