Her statement kinda weird her main issue is not these two speaking out but rather that Rowling feels slighted because social media users identify the two actors with " potter" instead of Rowling. I guess?
Confession: I had to look up who she is. Isn't Potter about witchcraft and wizards? Classic challenge to God and Jesus and such nonsense? Bit strange the bibletards use Rowling as a strategic piece in their battle against trans stuff? -

and she stole the idea about a boy wizard from Neil Gaiman.
Tim Hunter was the star of
several different DC Comics series and mini-series. He was created in 1990 by English author and comic book scribe, Neil Gaiman. He first appeared in the mini-series Books of Magic.
Harry Potter was created by author J.K. Rowling. Rowling's first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was finished in 1995 and first appeared in print in 1997.
So, at this point you may very well be thinking, "All those similarities! Did J.K. Rowling rip off Neil Gaiman?"
Well, Neil Gaiman himself doesn't think so, although there have been reports to the contrary. Here's what he had to say on the subject back in 1998:
Back in November [1997] I was tracked down by a Scotsman journalist who had noticed the similarities between my Tim Hunter character and Harry Potter, and wanted a story. And I think I rather disappointed him by explaining that, no, I certainly didn't believe that Rowling had ripped off Books of Magic, that I doubted she'd read it and that it wouldn't matter if she had: I wasn't the first writer to create a young magician with potential, nor was Rowling the first to send one to school. It's not the ideas, it's what you do with them that matters.
