A motion passed by Vancouver’s park board to apologize to the 2SLGBTQ+ community over its decision to host the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience in Stanley Park in November has caught the attention of author J.K Rowling.
She posted to X on Thursday in response to a post by commissioner Tom Digby, in which he said the board had done, “the right thing,” with his motion, apologized and “disavowed” the author and her political activity over transgender rights.
“To be honest, I didn't even know Vancouver Parks and Recreations had avowed me, so the disavowal hasn't been much of a blow,” Rowling wrote.
The comments followed an emotional meeting on Tuesday where commissioners discussed their earlier in-camera decision to bring the immersive Harry Potter programming to Stanley Park with seemingly little awareness over the polarizing figure of J.K Rowling.
