another one who concedes to the loud mob. I doubt she’s read a word of JK Rowling’s essay and if she was asked to explain specifically what JKR has said which is inaccurate or untrue, she’d stumble:

How can people not see through this virtue signalling? ‘I hear you and I know you’re upset, I’m an ally, honestly, but I’m still going to take the role and the money’. She’s pathetic, why say anything at all?

Precisely

They are a very vocal minority. The books still sell by the bucket load. I was in Liverpool a few weeks ago and the HP shops there were rammed. The new series is going to be widely popular. The boycott of all things Potter is laughable and not working.

Actually really disappointed in her - I like her. Thought she was better than that - appeasing the whingers.

Lottapianos · 08/08/2025 13:06

I saw her message the other day and thought how craven and pathetic it was. Talking about what a great 'ally' she is and how she would be doing some serious reflecting and all the usual crap. Pitiful stuff

NebulousSadTimes · 08/08/2025 13:14

It really is pitiful, had she been that bothered she wouldn't have even considered auditioning.

If she's got bills to pay why not just say that, or say nothing. It's arselickery, again. She must feel grubby.

This, she doesn't have to say anything,

They won't accept that Michelle. Too late you can't have it both ways as a woman. You will not be forgiven.

DialSquare · 08/08/2025 15:16

Embarrassingly weak and pathetic.

ThreeWordHarpy · 08/08/2025 15:43

I’m disappointed, I’ve seen her on stage long before Who and she’s an excellent actor who can work an audience very well.

It seems to be badly advised arse covering to me - perhaps her agent belongs to the school of thought that you need to apologise in advance to TRAs for any link to HP. Streisand effect again.

Sue White wouldn't bow to the mob.

Cringe as fuck. In this situation you need to pick one and go with it.
