She also opened up about how her experience as a sexual assault survivor gives her concerns about the transgender movement.Īn attempt to lessen the presence of Rowling is understandable, but raises concern. In another incident, Rowling criticized a tweet that used the phrase "people who menstruate" instead of using the term "woman." After initial criticism, she wrote an essay explaining her views and how women find certain phrases that erase their gender as demeaning. The controversy has arisen from multiple incidents, like Rowling expressing support for Maya Forstater, who was temporarily fired from her job for her comments on transgender individuals. She has also received criticism from several Harry Potter stars, such as Miriam Margolyes and Daniel Radcliffe. For example, Rowling won't appear in Harry Potter's 20th Anniversary reunion which is set to release on January 1, 2022.
The tiny Fantastic Beasts 3 credit is not the only attempt at decreasing Rowling's presence in the Harry Potter franchise.
The tiny credit is in stark contrast to the very bold credits given in the previous Fantastic Beasts films' trailers, which gave credit to her as writer, producer, and even gave viewers a special invite from her. Take a look at Rowling's tiny credit below: In the course of the entire trailer, Rowling's name is nowhere to be seen, except for a very tiny publishing rights mention in the final frame.

Meanwhile, another controversy arose when Harry Potter author Rowling, who is also a screenwriter and producer for Fantastic Beasts 3, spoke out on trans issues, and many perceived her comments as transphobic. With Rowling's obvious ties to the Harry Potter franchise, the media has had to find unique ways to navigate around the author's backlash. For one, Grindelwald's actor, Johnny Depp, was dropped from Fantastic Beasts 3 and replaced by Mads Mikkelsen after Depp was accused of domestic abuse by his ex-wife.
The mixed reviews of the sequel make the stakes pretty high for Fantastic Beasts 3, but it's the controversy surrounding the film's conception that raises the stakes even further.
