claims people have deeply misunderstood her position on transgender women — and the best-selling author says she’s not preoccupied with how the controversy will affect her legacy.said she “never meant to upset anyone” with comments broadly seen as antagonistic toward trans women. About the reaction from fans that Rowling has “ruined” her legacy, she counters that people who express such sentiments “could not have misunderstood me more profoundly.
At a high level, “The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling” attempts to draw parallels between attacks on Rowling by far-right Christian groups over the Harry Potter books — as somehow harmfully promoting witchcraft — and more recent furor over Rowling’s statements about trans people. Phelps-Roper is looking for commonality between the intolerant right-wingers who wanted to ban and burn the Harry Potter books and trans activists who have threatened Rowling over her comments.
Phelps-Roper interviewed Rowling at her home, a castle in Edinburgh, Scotland, and spends a good portion of the first two episodes of “The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling” going over the history of Rowling’s inspiration for Harry Potter and recounting the cultural politics of the 1990s.
