Despite Rowling's recent claim that she's "not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created," she's publicly mocked and chided the Harry Potter stars who don't agree with her views frequently enough that it's difficult to buy into the idea that she genuinely never expected a certain level of deference from them.

She gets so much hate mail. One thing that has remained consistent ever since Rowling took on the mantle of fighting against trans rights and acceptance is that she has repeatedly attempted to paint herself as the victim. Of course, it isn't as if Rowling has done nothing productive or well-intentioned regarding activism or inclusion over the years.
