The leadup to the launch of Hogwarts Legacy has been shrouded in huge controversy given JK Rowling’s transphobic comments. With the game trying to add diversity in its cast by introducing a trans character by the name of “Sirona Ryan” despite Rowling’s transphobic views, the internet is still not on board. Given the Harry Potter franchise’s (and Rowling’s) penchant of giving POC or minority characters some of the most stereotypical names, Hogwarts Legacy decision to name the trans character practically ‘Sir Ryan’ is being criticised over here. Here are some of the reactions slamming the game. Daniel Radcliffe Explains Why He Spoke Out Against JK Rowling, Says He Wanted Queer Fans to Know Not ‘Everybody in the Franchise Felt That Way’.

Rowling Didn’t Ghostwrite This?
They really put a trans woman in Hogwarts Legacy and named her Sirona Ryan. They literally put “sir” in her fucking name. Are we really sure Rowling didn’t ghost write this?
