Patricia Bartos/picture-alliance Transgender rights protesters gathered outside the opening of London’s new “Harry Potter” flagship store on Wednesday, as controversy surrounding author J.K. Rowling‘s views on gender identity continues to follow the franchise.
A group of six demonstrators assembled outside the shop on Oxford Street, carrying signs reading “protect trans lives” and “stop funding trans erasure,” according to the Evening Standard. Using megaphones, protesters chanted “trans rights are human rights” and urged fans waiting in line to reconsider supporting the franchise.
