Press

Rowling has had a difficult relationship with the press. She admits to being "thin-
skinned" and dislikes the fickle nature of reporting. Rowling disputes that she is
a recluse who hates to be interviewed.[231]

By 2011, Rowling had taken more than 50 actions against the press.[232] In 2001,
the Press Complaints Commission upheld a complaint by Rowling over a series of
unauthorised photographs of her with her daughter on the beach in Mauritius
published in OK! magazine.[233] In 2007, Rowling's young son, David, assisted by
Rowling and her husband, lost a court fight to ban publication of a photograph of
David. The photo which was taken by a photographer using a long-range lens, was
then published in a Sunday Express article featuring Rowling's family life and
motherhood.[19] The judgement was overturned in David's favour in May 2008.[234]

Rowling particularly dislikes the British tabloid the Daily Mail, which has
conducted interviews with her estranged ex-husband. As one journalist noted,
"Harry's Uncle Vernon is a grotesque philistine of violent tendencies and
remarkably little brain. It is not difficult to guess which newspaper Rowling gives
him to read [in Goblet of Fire]."[235] In 2014, she successfully sued the Mail for
libel over an article about her time as a single mother.[236] Some have speculated
that Rowling's fraught relationship with the press was the inspiration behind the
character Rita Skeeter, a gossipy celebrity journalist who first appears in Goblet
of Fire, but Rowling said in 2000 that the character predates her rise to fame.
[237]

In September 2011, Rowling was named a "core participant" in the Leveson Inquiry
into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press, as one of dozens of
celebrities who may have been the victim of phone hacking.[238] On 24 November
2011, Rowling gave evidence before the inquiry; although she was not suspected to
have been the victim of phone hacking,[239] her testimony included accounts of
photographers camping on her doorstep, her fiancé being duped into giving his home
address to a journalist masquerading as a tax official,[239] her chasing a
journalist a week after giving birth,[232] a journalist leaving a note inside her
then-five-year-old daughter's schoolbag, and an attempt by The Sun to "blackmail"
her into a photo opportunity in exchange for the return of a stolen manuscript.
[240] Rowling claimed she had to leave her former home in Merchiston because of
press intrusion.[240] In November 2012, Rowling wrote an article for The Guardian
in reaction to David Cameron's decision not to implement the full recommendations
of the Leveson inquiry, saying she felt "duped and angry".[241]

In 2014, Rowling reaffirmed her support for "Hacked Off" and its campaign towards
press self-regulation by co-signing with other British celebrities a declaration to
"[safeguard] the press from political interference while also giving vital
protection to the vulnerable."[242]

Transgender people
See also: Politics of J. K. Rowling § Transgender people
In December 2019, Rowling tweeted her support for Maya Forstater, a British woman
who lost her employment tribunal case against her former employer, the Center for
Global Development, after her contract was not renewed due to her prejudicial
comments about transgender people.[243][244][245] The court ruled that Forstater's
statements about transgender people (such as "Men and boys are male. Women and
girls are female. It is impossible to change sex"), and misgendering a person,
promoted "an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive
environment", and were not protected beliefs under the Equality Act 2010.[246][247]

On 6 June 2020, Rowling criticised an article's use of the phrase "people who
menstruate" instead of "women". She went on to write, "If sex isn't real, there's
no same-sex attraction. If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is
erased", while saying that she is empathetic to transgender people. The media
advocacy group GLAAD called the tweets "anti-trans" and "cruel", and wrote: "JK
Rowling continues to align herself with an ideology which willfully distorts facts
about gender identity and people who are trans. In 2020, there is no excuse for
targeting trans people."[248][249][250] Several actors known for portraying
Rowling's characters criticised her views or spoke in support of trans rights,
including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Eddie Redmayne, Evanna
Lynch, Bonnie Wright and Katie Leung, as did the fansites MuggleNet and The Leaky
Cauldron.[250][251][252][253] Actress Noma Dumezweni initially expressed support
for Rowling but rescinded her stance following backlash.[254] Radcliffe responded
on behalf of The Trevor Project, writing: "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."[255]

On 10 June 2020, Rowling published a 3,600-word essay on her website in response to

the criticism.[256][257] She said that she was a survivor of domestic abuse and
sexual assault, and stated that allowing trans women access to single-sex spaces
was a danger to women, while stating that most trans people were vulnerable and
deserved protection. She also wrote that many women consider terms like "people who
menstruate" to be demeaning.[258] The essay was criticised by, among others, the
gender non-conforming children's charity Mermaids.[259][260] Rowling has been
referred to as a trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF) on multiple occasions,
though she rejects the label.[261] Rowling has received support from some
feminists,[262] such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali[263] and radical feminist Julie Bindel.
[262]

Legal disputes
Main article: Legal disputes over the Harry Potter series
Rowling, her publishers, and Time Warner, the owner of the rights to the Harry
Potter films, have taken numerous legal actions to protect their copyright. The
worldwide popularity of the Harry Potter series has led to the appearance of a
number of locally produced, unauthorised sequels and other derivative works,
sparking efforts to ban or contain them.[264]

Another area of legal dispute involves a series of injunctions obtained by Rowling

and her publishers to prohibit anyone from reading her books before their official
release date.[265] The injunction drew fire from civil liberties and free speech
campaigners and sparked debates over the "right to read".[266][267]
