She never said Hermione was black, but she never described physically her beyond her brown hair and teeth.
When the play production ended up casting a black woman for the role, Rowling was happy to support it, claiming that the particular interpretation of the character is as legit to the books as it would have been if the actor who scored the role was white. It was just a matter of talent.
The whole thing is Not That Big A Deal™.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?oh
well wacky made it out as if rowling just straight up said she was black
which i would have issue with because if you have to say your character is X in an interview and not make SOME mention of it in the series
i start to think that you only did it so you can say "oh look my character is BLACK look how PROGRESSIVE i am"
which i have seen plenty a media do to the point that i have to reaaaaally look into these sort of things
BORDERLANDS
the books describe her face as "pale" so it's still rather silly
in other news
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
spain just DIVED into the new year

"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."i think claiming a work has a "token x character" usually makes overly broad assumptions about the author, who more than likely is much more concerned with other things when making a story than what race Joe Character is
that said the whole "dumbledore is gay thing" did come out of nowhere and didn't actually change anything in the story at all

no, that's why j k rowling has to make up shit such as dumbledore being gay and hermione being black to stay relevant
"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."
