## Caption

‘Harry Potter’ TV star Johnny Flynn has been slammed for his “spineless” attempt at addressing the controversy surrounding JK Rowling’s views on the transgender community. 

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote his new film ‘A Prayer for the Dying’, Flynn was asked about working with 14-year-old ‘Lord of the Flies actor Lox Pratt’ – who will play his son Draco Malfoy on the show – and his experience on ‘Harry Potter’ so far.

Then, seemingly unprompted, the actor attempted to touch on the controversy surrounding Rowling’s involvement in the project and her well-documented gender-critical views on the trans community.

“Obviously, there’s quite a lot of stuff around Jo Rowling,” he said. “I suppose that’s been quite interesting to navigate, the conversations there, but all important conversations to have.”
