'Heartstopper' Actor Sebastian Croft Reiterates Support for LGBTQ+ Community After Announcing Role In Hogwarts Legacy

Sebastian Croft made it very clear where he stands on JK Rowling‘s anti-trans comments after it was announced that he was cast in the Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy.

The 21-year-old Heartstopper actor made waves earlier this week after it was revealed that he would be involved in the game after showing support for the queer community and playing such a prominent role in the beloved Netflix series.

He issued a statement to address the situation and explain when he was even cast in the role.

“I was cast in this project over 3 years ago, back when all Harry Potter was to me, was the magical world I grew up with. This was long before I was aware of JK Rowling’s views. I believe whole heartedly that trans women are women and trans men are men,” Sebastian wrote on Twitter on Saturday (January 14).

“I know far more now than I did 3 years ago, and hope to learn far more in the next 3. I’m really sorry to anyone hurt by this announcement,” he continued.

Sebastian signed off, “There is no LGB without the T ❤️”

Daniel Radcliffe Opens Up About Speaking Out Against 'Harry Potter' Author JK Rowling

Daniel Radcliffe is opening up about Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

The 33-year-old star of the movies spoke out against the author back in June 2020 after some of her transphobic tweets.

“Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I,” Daniel shared at the time.

In a new interview, Daniel shared why it was important to speak out against her and her comments.
