Cillian Murphy has stated he isn't going to be in the Harry Potter tv series

“I’m categorically not. Can you make that the headline?”

@LilahTovMoon Cool!

[catdad@ohai.social]

@LilahTovMoon and by extension, I will not be watching it. Of all the things they could have chosen, they went with this? Nope. Next!

@LilahTovMoon hot DAMN.

@LilahTovMoon I think that role is only suitable for JK herself.

@LilahTovMoon I wish people realized its not just that trans people in the UK are angry at JK Rowling for some bad tweets

she became a billionaire last January and now donates her entire cut of Harry Potter to hurting trans people here

her "womens fund" funds transphobic organizations For Women Scotland, Sex Matters and LGB(no T) Alliance

it also set up a Rape Crisis Center which it uses as a proxy to sue the UK Government to remove trans people from any legal protections

£70,000 of that Harry Potter dime went to the UK Supreme Court case that ruled Trans Women shouldn't be afforded the same legal rights as Cis Women

even just watching that new show is going to send ad money to these assholes. PLEASE DON'T DO IT

@LilahTovMoon TIL john lithgow is still alive??

i mean, with the news he’s playing dumbledore, he’s dead to me anyway, but i could have sworn he died like ten years ago.

@LilahTovMoon nowhere in the article does it mention JK or trans people, it just seems like he is pissed off bc he keeps being asked. Am I missing something?

@jepyang @LilahTovMoon Lithgow was just in a show called The Old Man with Jeff Bridges and Alia Shawkat.
