‘Harry Potter’ author JK Rowling has been in the news for sometime now and not for all the right reasons. Deemed as “transphobic” for her recent comments, Rowling’s handprints in her home town of Edinburgh have been splattered with ‘blood-like red paint’.&nbsp;

JK Rowling’s handprints were installed outside of Edinburgh City Chambers in 2008. The vandals have also placed a transgender rights flag nearby. Pictures of the same are now circulating on social media.&nbsp;
