Emma Watson has opened up about her strained relationship with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, saying she still “values” her memories with the writer despite their differing views on transgender issues. 

Rowling has faced backlash since 2020 after posting tweets and an essay that many criticised as transphobic. At the time, Watson voiced her support for the transgender community.
