Despite the three actors having gained global fame through the Harry Potter franchise and the characters Rowling envisioned, their relationship with the author remains broken.
For instance, in a 2024 interview with The Atlantic, the 35-year-old actor revealed that he hadn’t spoken to Rowling in years, a fact that weighed heavily on his heart.

“It makes me really sad, ultimately,” he said, “because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.
“Nothing in my life would have probably happened the way it is without that person,” he added. “But that doesn’t mean that you owe the things you truly believe to someone else for your entire life.”
Rowling revealed that the rift between her and the actors has grown to a point of no return, with the franchise moving forward with a brand new cast

Fans of the author have asked her numerous times if she would be willing to accept an apology from any of the three actors, but she expressed that their rift had grown too large for that to be enough.
