Trans Rights Activists Protest at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child West End Red Carpet, Call to Boycott J.K. Rowling

Trans rights protesters disrupted the red carpet at a Thursday gala performance of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London's West End, shouting "Boycott J.K. Rowling!" and wearing shirts reading "Rowling Money Kills." The protest follows J.K. Rowling's creation of the J.K. Rowling Women's Fund in 2025 and her reported $88,000 donation to For Women Scotland. The BBC also announced a two-part documentary on Rowling's career and controversies.
