Nick Frost is dismissing the suggestion that him signing up to appear in the new Harry Potter TV series is an endorsement of JK Rowling’s views on the transgender community. Earlier this year, the Hot Fuzz actor was revealed to be playing Hogwarts groundskeeper Hagrid in a new TV adaptation of the Harry Potter books.

Tom Felton says he's not really "attuned" to J.K. Rowling's controversial trans comments as he attends the Tony Awards in New York on Sunday. The actor was asked if Rowling sharing her views online about the transgender community affected his decision to join Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
