An immersive Harry Potter-themed attraction set to open in Vancouver’s Stanley Park next month is facing growing calls to be cancelled, with critics pointing to author J.K. Rowling’s comments about transgender rights.
“I feel it’s really regrettable that we’re allowing one of the world’s most high-profile transphobes to actually make money in the City of Vancouver,” said Vancouver City Councillor Lucy Maloney, with OneCity.
“For me, the transphobic actions of J.K. Rowling have really spoiled my enjoyment of that series,” she told CTV News.
Rowling should be barred from entering Canada for stoking stochastic terrorism.
