None of the main stars, yet
Because they already spoke out. CW: Joanne being a four letter word.
Very disappointing, but pretty funny that only the villains support her
What the fuck, Eddie Izzard?! I had to look up if it was the same Eddie Izzard, who now also goes by Suzy.
Yep, that Eddie Izzard. Fuck.
Yeah, she’s gender-fluid and uses fem pronouns, so my guess is that she just really wasn’t expecting an old lady (jkr) to get real hate about it and she’d like the discourse to be more polite. Still fucked up, but I can’t understand it any other way.

Fuck. I hate discovering that actors whos movies I previously enjoyed, are in fact assholes.
Helena Bonham Carter did some great stuff.
Too bad, so long demon barber of fleet street.
Awesome, good to know, and happy to hear it! I just meant only one of the people pictured in the post's thumbnail (Cho Chang) actually signed the letter the article is about
Emma Watson has signed the letter, and as other comments have said, the other main cast has spoken out previously.

Of course not. Rich people stick together.
you've missed some context on how long Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Daniel Ratclif have been speaking out that they don't support JK Rowling, how they're going to spend their royalties from those films, and that trans men are men and trans women are women.
