Nick Frost has faced criticism for his role in the new Harry Potter series after posting a congratulatory message on Instagram. The post, which included a photo of him posing with a copy of “Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone”, was met with backlash from fans who were upset about Frost’s involvement with the project. The comments section was initially open but has since been turned off.
Frost’s decision to join the series comes as J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter, has faced increasing criticism for her views on transgender issues and other topics. Rowling’s stance has led to a backlash from many in the LGBTQ+ community and has caused tension among former cast members of the film franchise, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint.
One fan expressed their disappointment with Frost’s decision, stating that he had “lost the respect of millions” and that they were sad to see him make a poor choice. Another fan criticized Rowling for her impact on innocent people’s lives and expressed concern about Frost potentially losing fans by being associated with her.
