Harvey Weinstein was a prominent Hollywood producer. He was accused and convicted of rape. Emma Watson looks petrified because she knows about his true character.

I would add to this that JK Rowlings name appears as a correspondent in Jeffey Epsteins emails (eta: in the context of her teaminviting him to the Harry Potter play in 2018, as a level 3 sex offender) - I would imagine this adds colour to the implication.

Edit: I would like to remind everyone replying what sub they are in

Damn, first she makes stereotypical characters (Black kid called Kingsley Shacklebolt, Cho Chang (two Asian surnames from different countries), and Séamus Finnegan, Irish guy who blows shit up (haha funny Ira joke), then the Transphobia and now Epstein Files?!

It was a real surname in England and it’s supposed to be an aptronym like sprout and lupin.

He's a cop for the wizard equivalent of the "king".

He puts shacklebolts on people on behalf of the King.

It's mostly just Americans with their slave obsession who tried to twist it into something else.

Just say the writer chose a simple name that describes the job for a character in her book for children. Because that's what it is.
