5 ‘Harry Potter’ actors who handled their post-Potter fame much better than JK Rowling

Fortunately, those who appeared in the Wizarding World franchise managed to use their influence for good. These actors were able to make names for themselves while also slowly disassociating themselves from Rowling’s views. Although they may still get recognition for their Harry Potter roles, they were able to manage their fame and notoriety much better than Rowling.

5. David Tennant

Jessica Jones as Kilgrave.

In 2015, the actor received a Special Recognition Award during the 2015 National Television Awards in the U.K. for his work in entertainment. To this day, he’s still loved for his work, both in the Harry Potter franchise and beyond.

5. Robert Pattinson

Even if The Batman.

Alongside that, people loved him for his “unhinged” interview responses. One of his most notable interviews was in 2011 when he told the story on Today about a clown dying due to a car explosion. The Cut reported that a week later, Pattinson revealed that he made it all up when he was asked about the incident by a German journalist.

4. Tom Felton

The Flash as Julian Albert.

The actor also became prominent on Felton didn’t go hard when it came to Rowling’s transphobic messages. Rather, he seems impartial on the matter.

2. Daniel Radcliffe

Despite still being recognized as the boy who lived, WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story

Regardless of what his next project will be, he’s still recognized for his role as that young wizarding boy. At least he’s a good sport whenever he’s asked about it. Alongside that, he continued to show for the trans community, despite what Rowling thinks.

1. Emma Watson

Just like Radcliffe, reunion special. Cast and crew talked about how the young actress was “by herself,” and Watson itted to feeling lonely at the time. In the end, she continued to play the role, and fans are grateful.

After it was revealed that Rowling has harmful views towards transgender people, Watson used her influence someone who has done more for feminism compared to the aforementioned author.

All these actors managed to use the influence that they’ve received thanks to their involvement in the Harry Potter franchise and were able to make a name for themselves. But it’s not just that. Unlike Rowling who continues to spread harmful messages towards the trans community, these actors continue to use their influence to show or attempted to separate themselves from Rowling as much as possible. In the end, their actions and beliefs are not tied to Rowling’s hateful rhetoric.
