Holy Hogwarts! The latest celebrity cauldron is bubbling over as 'Father Ted' maestro Graham Linehan dishes out a blistering hex on Daniel Radcliffe. The reason? The Boy Who Lived dared to defy Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling over transgender rights! Linehan, not one to mince words, zapped Radcliffe in a fiery post, claiming the actor's ungrateful for biting the wand that bewitched him into stardom. "It’s almost admirable how an actor with no talent feels confident enough to..." he conjured on X, lambasting Radcliffe's stance and lack of post-Harry contact with Rowling.
As fans and foes of Linehan chime in, the debate wands on – do you never bite the hand that feeds, or does Radcliffe’s grace outcharm most politicos? While some rally behind Linehan's barbed defense of Rowling's gender-critical views, others applaud Radcliffe for his wizardly poise in the face of controversy. The duel extends beyond Radcliffe with Emma 'Hermione' Watson also drawing Rowling's ire for her pro-trans incantation at the BAFTAs. And the saga enscrolls; Rowling deemed Watson's recent podcast peace offering a mere dramatic turn, while Linehan stands trial for his own gender-critical forays. So, dear readers, is it the end of an enchanting era? Comments, potions, or spells – tweet us your take on this magical muddle!
