Such apologies follow a threat of lawsuit on Mrs. Rowling’s behalf due to Britain’s libel laws, which burden the accuser to retract claims or risk engaging in expensive court proceedings. https://deadline.com/2024/03/jk-rowling-threatens-harry-potter-fan-lawsuit-transgender-views-1235863403 https://deadline.com/2024/03/jk-rowling-threatens-harry-potter-fan-lawsuit-transgender-views-1235863403/amp/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_defamation_law
