A HARRY Potter star has called JK Rowling a “bigot” and compared her to Andrew Tate over her trans views.
Theauthor, 59, that trans women are not legally women with a cigar and cocktail on a luxury yacht.
She posted the image of herself along with the caption “I love it when a plan comes together” in a nod to the A-Team.
But Sean Biggerstaff, known for his role as Oliver Wood in three of the films, condemned Rowling on .
In Rowling's post, she hit back at those who suggested she was a “blunt”, which is associated with use.
She said: “To those celebrating the fact that I'm smoking a blunt: it's a cigar.
“Even if it decided to identify as a blunt for the purposes of this celebration, it would remain objectively, provably and demonstratively a cigar.”
Biggerstaff replied to the post by penning: “Bigotry rots the wit.”
He also showed his support for one person who compared Rowling to .
Biggerstaff re-posted a tweet which read: “lol, huffing on a cigar now? Is she Andrew Tate?”
He later slammed her for sharing a picture of Susan Smith and Marion Calder, co-directors of For Women , celebrating their victory.
Rowling wrote: “In case it wasn't clear: don't f*** with Scottish women.”
Biggerstaff responded: “The majority of Scottish women, who don't agree with these d***heads, aren't being bankrolled by an obsessed billionaire.”
Rowling has been a long standing advocate for women's group For Women Scotland, which she is also believed to have backed with funding.
However, Rowling has also come under fire for comments made in the past towards trans people, with the author bravely standing firm in the face of online pressure.
In 2020, the esteemed author slammed the growing trend of replacing “biological sex” with “gender identity”.
Her stance, that declared “sex is real”, led to death threats, but also moulded her into a figurehead for the “gender-critical” movement.
Activists accused her of transphobia in 2020 when replying to an article with the headline: “Opinion: Creating a more equal post Covid-19 world for people who menstruate.”
She tweeted: “‘People who menstruate'. I'm sure there used to be a word for those people.
“Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”
Her remarks led to criticism from Potter actors , , , who ignored the fact her had made them famous to launch a string of attacks.
It was Rowling's beloved group For Women Scotland which also launched a long-running legal battle with the Scottish government over how a “woman” was defined in Scottish law.
The Scottish government had argued people with gender recognition certificates (GRCs) should be protected from sex-based discrimination, meaning a transwoman would be considered a woman.
However, campaign group For Women Scotland claimed this only applied to people born as a female.
Now, the ‘s that it was unanimously determined “sex is binary” and that female-only spaces must be protected on the basis of biology.
