Headline: Nick Frost hits out over J.K. Rowling's transgender views
Caption: The 53-year-old actor has landed a part in HBO's hotly anticipated adaptation of 59-year-old Rowling's iconic Harry Potter book series. The Shaun of the Dead star will play Rubeus Hagrid, the half-giant groundskeeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a part memorably played by the late Robbie Coltrane in the film series. While speaking to The Observer, Frost signalled that he does not share Rowling's views on transgender rights after the author took a stand in defence of women's rights that lead to a clash with equal rights campaigners.
