Paapa Essiedu officially joined the casting of the series Harry Potter A few weeks ago in the very coveted role of Severus Rogue, formerly camped by the late Alan Rickman. The latter recently supported the Transgender community. Could the British actor therefore be fired for simply opposing JK Rowling’s ideas?
The distribution of the first part of the casting of the series Harry Pottercurrently in preparation by HBO, was announced and formalized on April 14. Paapa Essiedu, especially seen in the program I May Destroy You and in the film The Outrunwas chosen to lend his features to the character of Severus Rogue, whom fans know especially under the skin of Alan Rickman, who died in 2016.
Paapa Essiedu is radically opposed to JK Rowling’s words on the Transgender Community
Last week, Paapa Essiedu, with some of his industry colleagues including Eddie Redmayne, has signed an open letter that asks the UK entertainment industry to protect characters from the Transgender community, who are currently the country’s target after a Supreme Court law provides that transgender women would no longer have the same rights as cisgenres women.
For years now, JK Rowling has been defending Cisgenres women and attacks the transgender community on its X account on which it relays hateful and problematic comments daily. Following these speeches of both parties, internet users wondered if the writer was going and could turn paapa essiedu from the series Harry Pottersince they are not on the same political edge.
Paapa Essiedu will not be fired from the series Harry Potter
In response to the question, JK Rowling said on social network X on Monday, May 5 that it could not make this decision and turn an actor from the series Harry Potter. His post is accompanied by an image of an article with Paapa Essiedu: ” I do not have the power to dismiss an actor in the series and I would not do it even if I had it. I do not think that people with their jobs or their livelihood should be deprived because they have different convictions from mine, which are protected by law ».
PAAPA ESSIEDU will therefore remain on the poster of the series Harry Potterwhose shooting should soon begin.
