Guys, before we dive on into today's video, we want to make our stance on a very important topic,

0:04.8

crystal clear. We disagree with JK Rolling and believe that trans rights are human rights.

0:10.7

To show our support, we are attaching a fundraiser to this video in order to raise money for the Trevor Project.

Here at Super Carlin Brothers, we do believe that you can separate the art from the artist.

0:22.0

Harry Potter is a story that we have enjoyed for a very long time,

but we also want to show our support to the trans community.

To me, Hogwarts has taught me acceptance of everybody,
