Criticism of Rowling's views came from the ''Harry Potter'' fansites MuggleNet and The Leaky Cauldron; and the charities Mermaids, Stonewall, and Human Rights Campaign.

Captain Hook
Fictional pirate
In the novel ''Peter and the Starcatchers'' by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, Captain Hook is distinguished by halitosis, beady black eyes, a pock-marked face, and perpetual filth of his person and surroundings contrasting strongly with J. M. Barrie's Etonian gentleman.
Dave Barry
American writer and humorist
In 1981 he wrote a humorous guest column in '' The Philadelphia Inquirer'' about watching the birth of his son, which attracted the attention of Gene Weingarten, then an editor of the ''Miami Herald''{{'}}s Sunday magazine '' Tropic''.
Beginning in 1984, Barry and ''Tropic'' editors Gene Weingarten and Tom Shroder have organized the Tropic Hunt (now the Herald Hunt), an annual puzzlehunt in Miami. A Washington, D.C., spinoff, the Post Hunt, began in 2008.
Gene Weingarten
American journalist
The column outlines many foods Weingarten dislikes, including hazelnuts, sweet pickles, and "Indian food." It stated that Indian food is "the only ethnic cuisine in the world based entirely on one spice." Padma Lakshmi shared the article and criticized both Weingarten and ''The Washington Post'' for publishing content with racist undertones.
Jason Isaacs
Isaacs played Major Briggs, an American military officer, opposite Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear, in Paul Greengrass's thriller '' Green Zone'' (2010), a fictionalised drama set in Iraq after the defeat of Saddam Hussein based on the book ''Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Baghdad's Green Zone'' (2006), by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, for which production began in Morocco, in January 2008.
Saddam Hussein
In early 1979, Iran's Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown by the Islamic Revolution, thus giving way to an Islamic republic led by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Khomeini was known for his support of the hostage takers during the Iran hostage crisis, his fatwa calling for the murder of British Indian novelist Salman Rushdie, and for referring to the United States as the "Great Satan" and the Soviet Union as the "Lesser Satan".
In early 1989, Khomeini issued a fatwā calling for the assassination of Salman Rushdie, an India-born British author. Rushdie's book, '' The Satanic Verses'', published in 1988, was alleged to commit blasphemy against Islam and Khomeini's juristic ruling (fatwā) prescribed Rushdie's assassination by any Muslim.
Salman Rushdie
In 2004, he married Padma Lakshmi, an Indian-American actress, model, and host of the American reality-television show '' Top Chef''.
