Her stance on transgender issues has put her – as well as co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint – in direct opposition to Rowling, and their ongoing feud continues to make headlines.

This is probably a big part of it now. Twitter addict Rowling is out there constantly spouting off and all the parasocial fans and Hollywood media expect Watson to be making statements in response. That has got to be emotionally draining, given how toxic that debate has become in the West.
