David Tennant says he wishes Harry Potter author J.K.Rowling "no ill will", but there has been "demonization" of the trans community and that he hopes that we "can all as a society just let people be.

"JK Rowling is a wonderful author who’s created brilliant stories, and I wish her no ill will, but I hope that we can all as a society, just let people be," Tennant said, according to The Guardian. He then added a bold six word message to the popular author. "Just get out of people’s way," he said.

"Why is this a factor at all?" the actor, who is slated to play Albus Dumbledore in HBO's upcoming show, said amid Rowling's anti-trans controversies.
