David Tennant makes dig at JK Rowling when asked about Harry Potter

  • Actor David Tennant seemingly made a dig at J.K. Rowling regarding her potential involvement in the new Harry Potter series.
  • Tennant, who played Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, suggested an unnamed executive producer on the show "doesn't love me".
  • This comment follows previous online exchanges between Tennant and Rowling, where she criticised his support for trans rights.
  • Rowling has also targeted other Harry Potter actors, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, for their pro-trans views.
  • The new Harry Potter series, currently under development, has already cast John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore.
