Although Felton outright stopped doing so, he said he is “a supporter of human rights across the board.”
“First of all, I don’t know enough about the nuances of what someone says. It takes a lot longer for my dog to get into matters like this. I mean, the obvious things are that I’m a pro-choice, pro. —talking, pro-human rights across the board, and pro-love. And anything that isn’t those things, I really don’t have much time,” Felton said when Rowling’s topic came up, reports Variety.
He distanced the entire ‘Harry Potter’ film franchise from the controversial author, saying, “It’s also a reminder that Joe is as much a founder. [these] Stories, she was not as much a part of the filmmaking process as some might think. I think I remember seeing him once or twice on the sets.”
