A Harry Potter-themed holiday attraction in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, approved by the Vancouver Park Board, has stirred controversy and prompted an apology from city officials due to backlash from the city’s “transgender and gender-diverse communities.”
The Vancouver Park Board apologized after approving the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience following strong backlash from members of the city’s so-called transgender and gender-diverse communities.
Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to apologize and to strengthen consultations with the city’s S2LGBTQ+ advisory committee for future events that could carry “equity or human rights implications.”
The immersive event, created by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, allows visitors to walk through a light-filled “forbidden forest” inspired by the Harry Potter series. Tickets start at about $50 for children and climb to more than $80 for adults.
The criticism stems from the event’s association with author J.K. Rowling, who has faced years of backlash for remarks about transgender policies and sex-specific spaces for women.
