Evanna Lynch

Irish actress Evanna - who played Luna Lovegood in the wizarding franchise - was saddened to see trans fans abandoned by the 'Harry Potter' community and didn't want to marginalise them further in the wake of JK Rowling's position.

She said: "I'm so saddened to see trans people feeling abandoned by the HP community.

"Feeling like you don't fit in or aren't accepted for who you are are the worst, most lonely feelings a human can experience, and I won't be helping to marginalise trans women and men further. I applaud the immense bravery they show in embracing themselves and think we all should listen to their stories."
