Actor Tom Felton stood by JK Rowling amid her transgender views controversy, celebrating her creation of the Harry Potter franchise that's brought the world together.

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.

Tom Felton says controversy around remarks by J.K. Rowling that are considered transphobic didn't impact his decision to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.'
