J.K. Rowling has been removed from a Harry Potter exhibit at Seattle's Museum of Pop Culture, due to her views seen as transphobic, hateful, and divisive. In a blog post published in March, the museum's project manager Chris Moore — who is also transgender — slammed Rowling's anti-trans rhetoric. Rowling was previously inducted into the museum's Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. But amid the controversy, the museum removed any mentions of Rowling in its Fantasy: Worlds of Myth and Magic gallery — which still includes memorabilia from the "Harry Potter" films.
