Columbus Ditches Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Over Rowling’s Truth-Telling
Chris Columbus, the director who helmed the first two Harry Potter films, has declared a reunion with the original cast for a film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child “impossible” because of J.K. Rowling’s so-called “transphobia.” This is according to a recent article from Entertainment Weekly, where Columbus laments the controversy surrounding Rowling’s unapologetic stance on biological reality. Let me be crystal clear: Columbus’s decision isn’t just a spineless dodge—it’s a betrayal of truth, reason, and the very fans who made his career. Rowling is right, trans ideology is a mental disorder tearing at the fabric of society, and Hollywood’s pandering to this delusion is doing real harm.

For those who’ve been living under a rock, J.K. Rowling has been vocal about the biological differences between men and women, refusing to bow to the woke mob’s demand that feelings trump facts. She’s taken heat for it, especially after celebrating a U.K. Supreme Court ruling that excluded transgender women from the legal definition of a woman under the Equality Act. She’s also called out the absurdity of trans activists, like when she shredded one for boasting about bra fittings or another for taking selfies in women’s bathrooms, flagging the dangerous message that women’s spaces are up for grabs. Rowling’s stance is simple: men are men, women are women, and no amount of mental gymnastics changes that. She’s not “transphobic”—she’s the reality-phobic’s worst nightmare.
I’ll never understand why a movement intent on removing protected spaces for women and children attracts so many men who appear to wish or enact harm on women and children. https://t.co/4twsjuP1AS

Enter Chris Columbus, who told Variety, “I like to sometimes separate the artist from the art, I think that’s important to do. It’s unfortunate, what’s happened. I certainly don’t agree with what she’s talking about. But it’s just sad, it’s very sad.” Sad? What’s sad is Columbus clutching his pearls while throwing Rowling under the bus to appease a vocal minority of delusional activists. He’s not just out of touch; he’s actively enabling a movement that erodes women’s rights and safety by pretending men can become women through sheer willpower. This isn’t compassion—it’s complicity.
Columbus’s refusal to work on a Cursed Child film with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint—stars who’ve also distanced themselves from Rowling—shows how deep Hollywood’s rot runs. These actors, who owe their careers and vast fortunes to Rowling’s genius, have publicly supported trans ideology, with Radcliffe penning an essay for The Trevor Project claiming “transgender women are women.” Watson echoed similar sentiments, and Grint followed suit. Columbus, meanwhile, claims he’s still chummy with Radcliffe, saying he spoke to him recently and maintains “friendly contact” with the cast. How nice. He’s pals with the kids who stabbed their creator in the back while he joins the pile-on, all to avoid the wrath of the woke mob.

Let’s get real: transgenderism is a mental disorder, full stop. The idea that a man can “identify” as a woman and demand access to women’s spaces, sports, or legal protections is not just illogical—it’s destructive. It tells women they’re nothing more than a “costume” to be worn, as Rowling pointed out in a scathing critique of trans activists. It endangers safety, as evidenced by the creepy bathroom selfies and the push to erase sex-based protections. And it’s rooted in a denial of biology that no amount of Hollywood virtue-signaling can whitewash. By siding with this ideology, Columbus and his ilk aren’t just pandering to the mentally ill—they’re fueling a cultural fire that burns down reason, science, and women’s safety.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Columbus calling Rowling’s views “very sad” while promoting his new Netflix film, The Thursday Murder Club. The Telegraph echoed this, noting his refusal to join HBO’s Harry Potter reboot because he’s “done” with the franchise. Done, huh? More like scared stiff of being canceled. Columbus’s sanctimonious hand-wringing about separating “the artist from the art” is a weak excuse for dodging the hard truth: Rowling’s art is inseparable from her courage to speak it. Her stories about good versus evil, truth versus lies, resonate because she lives those values, even when it costs her.

Hollywood’s obsession with appeasing trans activists is a case study in moral cowardice and groupthink. These are the same people who’ll lecture you about “inclusivity” while ignoring the real-world harm of their ideology—like men in women’s prisons or sports, where biological males dominate and endanger female competitors. Rowling’s been clear: this isn’t about hate; it’s about protecting women’s spaces and acknowledging reality. Yet Columbus, Radcliffe, and the rest of the Gryffendor elite would rather grovel to a movement that demands we all play make-believe with people’s delusions.
The irony? Columbus admits the HBO reboot will likely include scenes he regrets that he couldn’t fit into his films, like the mischievous ghost Peeves, etc. He’s jealous of the chance to flesh out Rowling’s world but too spineless to stand by the woman who created it. Instead, he’s content to let HBO move forward with Rowling as an executive producer, knowing her “views” haven’t impacted casting or production, per HBO CEO Casey Bloys. So, Columbus is fine with her work bankrolling the reboot, but not with her speaking the truth. Hypocrisy, thy name is Hollywood.
J.K. Rowling isn’t the problem—Chris Columbus and his woke comrades are. They’re not just out of touch; they’re actively harming society by legitimizing a mental disorder that undermines biology, safety, and common sense. Rowling’s stance isn’t “sad”—it’s a beacon of sanity in a world gone mad. If Columbus can’t handle that, he doesn’t deserve to touch her work. Let him stick to his Netflix fluff and leave the heavy lifting to those with the guts to face reality head-on.The post Columbus Ditches Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Over Rowling’s Truth-Telling first appeared on Worth it or Woke.
