The whole thing started on Tuesday, when 24-year-old lab technician Lindsey B tagged Rowling in the following tweet:

Depp's inclusion in the Fantastic Beastsfranchise has been a subject of controversy ever since the news about his casting broke last November, a couple of weeks before the first film was due to be released.

In May 2016, Johnny Depp was accused of being physically abusive by his then-wife Amber Heard. Heard claimed in court that Depp bruised her eye after throwing a cellphone at her, and was granted a temporary restraining order against him.

At the time, the news that he'd be appearing in Beastsdrew criticism from fans. A couple of weeks ago, following the release of the first cast photo for Fantastic Beasts 2(which included Depp once again as Grindelwald), that criticism has re-ignited.

"[Like] a lot of fans I do not agree with Depp playing Grindelwald," Lindsey told Mashable.

"Like I said in my tweet he abused Amber but because he's famous his career won't be affected by his actions. To me this is wrong and that's why I'm against Johnny Depp playing a role in Fantastic Beasts."
