J K Rowling calls Emma Watson ignorant in trans rights feud exposing a deep generational divide in feminism

Highlights:

  • Rowling dismisses Watson's recent conciliatory tone as a calculated shift.
  • The author argues Watson's life of fame and wealth has left her ignorant of real-world issues.
  • A 2022 BAFTA speech and a poorly received note are cited as a major breaking point.
  • Rowling contrasts her own past poverty with Watson's privileged upbringing.
  • She firmly states that public disagreement from former collaborators warrants a public response.

The bitter divide between J K Rowling and the stars of her Harry Potter world has just gotten much deeper. In a raw and personal online post, the author tore into Emma Watson, attacking not just her opinions but her character. Rowling branded the actress as "ignorant," claiming her life of fame has left her utterly disconnected from reality. This comes immediately after Watson made a public attempt to soften their long-running and very public disagreement on transgender rights, a move that seems to have only made the Harry Potter feud worse.

Anika Chowdhury reimagines chess with Glowborne, reviving its South Asian and East African origins

Highlights:

  • British-Bangladeshi prop maker Anika Chowdhury has designed a handcrafted glow-in-the-dark chess set celebrating heritage and identity.
  • The limited-edition set, called Glowborne, launches on Kickstarter in October.
  • Each piece draws from South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cultural references, re-rooting chess in its origins.
  • The project blends art, storytelling, and representation, aiming to spark conversations about identity in play.

Reimagining chess through heritage

When Anika Chowdhury sat down to sculpt her first chess piece, she had a bigger vision than simply redesigning a classic game. A British-Bangladeshi prop maker working in the film industry, she grew up loving fantasy and games but rarely saw faces like hers in Western storytelling.

“Chess originated in India, travelled through Arabia and North Africa, and was later Westernised,” she explains. “I wanted to bring those forgotten origins back to the board.”

Labour peer reignites Clive debate

THE current debate about whether the imperial statue of Robert Clive should be removed from outside the Foreign Office in London once again reinforces the need to include British colonial history in the school syllabus.

The older generation were brought up to believe that the British empire was, on the whole, a civilising force for good, but younger people today take a much more jaundiced view of the way in large parts of the world – especially India, “the jewel in the crown” – were plundered and drained of their wealth.
