Keira Knightley says she was not aware' of JK Rowling boycott calls before joining Harry Potter audiobooks
"I was not aware of that, no. I'm very sorry. You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions."
"I hope that we can all find respect."
"the actor is ignorant of how ignorant she is."
Keira Knightley joined the Full-Cast Audio Editions of Harry Potter as Professor Dolores Umbridge alongside Cush Jumbo, Hugh Laurie and Riz Ahmed. Knightley reported being unaware of calls to boycott JK Rowling prior to joining the audiobook cast, expressed regret, and urged finding respect and ways to live together despite differing opinions. Calls to boycott intensified after Rowling reacted to a UK Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of woman by posting a photograph of herself smoking a cigar. Rowling opposed removing actor Paapa Essiedu after he signed an open letter and criticized Emma Watson as "the actor is ignorant of how ignorant she is."
