Rowling's Harry Potter books. Jb Lacroix / Getty Images Keira will voice Professor Umbridge in the books, which are set to be released via Audible between November 2025 and May 2026. More than 200 voice actors are partaking in the project, including James McAvoy, Kit Harington, and Ruth Wilson. Of course, numerous fans have boycotted the Harry Potter franchise due to J.K.'s anti-trans statements. However, Keira said she was "not aware" of the backlash when asked to share her thoughts in an interview with Decider.

And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

In a new video shared by the outlet, Keira lets out a laugh after saying that she was "very sorry" - and when suggesting that "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together," she appears to have a slight smirk on her face.
