JK Rowling saying that Hermione could be black is almost exactly the same as her verifying that Dumbledore is gay after she wrote the series where it literally mentioned nothing about his sexuality. representation that readers have to derive themselves or that is vaguely implied is not representation, especially in children’s literature where kids are brainwashed into believing that white heteronorm is always the default unless otherwise specified. stop giving her brownie points lol

honestly, especially since she said the actors for the film were exactly how she imagined them.
