Pedro Pascal speaks out again on Rowling controversy 

Pedro Pascal has attacked J.K. Rowling once more, defending his claim that she is a "heinous loser" and claiming that "bullies" made him feel "f***ing sick."

In a recent interview, the Game of Thrones and Gladiator II star intensified his criticism of the Harry Potter author for her views on gender criticism.

Pascal, 50, first posted the derogatory "heinous loser" comment on Instagram in April. Pascal's sister Lux had recently come out as a transgender woman.

He was reacting to activist Tariq Ra'ouf, who demanded that all upcoming Harry Potter films be boycotted because of Rowling's vocal support for transgender issues.

The 59-year-old British author had praised a decision by the High Court of Justice in London that said "woman" meant a biological female and not a gender, specifically in the context of Britain's Equality Act.

In addition to writing under the pen name Robert Galbraith, Rowling has engaged in verbal sparring with Boy George, Sir Stephen Fry, and the three young actors who portrayed the main trio in the first three Harry Potter films.

In a recent interview, Pascal continued to criticise Rowling and addressed the backlash against his Instagram post from earlier this year.

Campaigner Mr Ra'ouf had written on Instagram, “It has become our mission as the general public to make sure that every single thing that's Harry Potter related fails...because that awful disgusting s**t, that has consequences.”
