Harry Potteractress Katie Leung recalls being told to deny that she faced racist attacks

Leung also said she was instructed by publicists to deny experiencing any racism in connection with her role.

“And I just nodded my head.

I was like, ‘Okay, yeah, I’ll just say everything’s great.'”

The performer, now 33, didn’t specify whether the instruction came from personal publicists or studio representatives.

A Warner Bros. Pictures rep declined to comment on the matter to EW.

Leung said on the podcast that she felt “grateful” to be involved in theHarry Potterfranchise.

“I keep saying, like, ‘Oh I wish I’d maybe said something.’

But you might’t do that.”

“I put it to the back of my mind.

She has also appeared on miniseries includingRunandThe Nest, and worked in theater.
