Jon Stewart DENIES accusing JK Rowling of making Harry Potter goblins 'antisemitic'

“JK Rowling was like, ‘Can we get these guys to run our bank?’ You’re like, ‘It’s a wizarding world… We can ride dragons, you can have a pet owl, but who should run the bank? Jews. But what if the teeth were sharper?'”

Now, in a new video shared to Twitter, Stewart was stunned that his comments had been taken as anything but in jest and made it clear that he does not believe Rowling is antisemitic.

“These comments were made a month ago – a month ago!” he exclaimed, seemingly bewildered at the fallout of his previous discussion.

“I cannot stress this enough: I am not accusing JK Rowling of being antisemitic.
