As a result, the series itself has become a hotbed of discourse and criticism. Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan recently took to IG to speak out against the author, the show, and the recent UK Supreme Court's unanimous ruling that a "woman" in equality legislation should be defined as referring to a "biological woman and biological sex."

Although she who must not be named is heavily involved in the upcoming 'Harry Potter' series, Warner Bros. is distancing itself from her views.

Casey Bloys says HBO's "Harry Potter" TV series is not "secretly being infused" with author J.K. Rowling's anti-trans views.
