But it was the casting of Olivier Award-winning black actress Noma Dumezweni as grown-up bookworm Hermione Granger that caught most media outlets’ attention; in the films, Granger is played by white actress Emma Watson.

“I had a bunch of racists telling me that because Hermione ‘turned white’ — that is, lost color from her face after a shock — that she must be a white woman, which I have a great deal of difficulty with,” Rowling told the Observer in a recent interview. “But I decided not to get too agitated about it and simply state quite firmly that Hermione can be a black woman with my absolute blessing and enthusiasm.”

Oh, who really cares? The product is J.K. Rowlings. I really have no problem with this....fiction is fiction.

The woman can make the fictional character chartreuse for all I care.

[KC_Lion]

So Did she have to approve the cover of her Books or Not?

[Alt Right]

I don’t care about her color, but that lady looks a bit long in the tooth.

[SamAdams76]

Liberals are always in search of something to be offended by.

[NelsonEddyFan]

That’s my issue too!

A few hours ago, JK Rowling went on YouTube to beg her fans not to give up secrets regarding Cursed Child-- Now I know what she was nervous about

[SkyDancer]

Well since Anne worked out so well why not?

[relictele]

We all know loads of black Hermiones, don’t we?

[ghosthost]

"Oh, who really cares?

Two words: Black Dumbledore

[Williams]

Yeah I don’t care but notice she starts calling a bunch of her fans racist?

[ifinnegan]

You win!

[Jonty30]

Her work and her right.

[Two Kids' Dad]

Where’s LeHarrius Potter and deQuan Weasely?

[Williams]

How are the fans racists because they discussed a point about the character’s description from the book? Fans go on about that kind of stuff all the time. She is a real jackass.

[Secret Agent Man]

Aka big fat gay black guy with a “wand”

[Chgogal]

Can they work in a “fluid gender”? I can't figure out what that is, but NYC said it is a gender. ; )

[ghosthost]

The castmembers for Potter movies are usually whiter than sour cream. They usually make eleventy gabillion dollars each but (cough-cough) the two are not related

On an unrelated note, here is the cast from Lord of the Rings

[Yaelle]

She’s a bleeping liar. She knows damn well she wrote Hermione white. Why not admit it and say any actor should be able to play the part, which is true? Why fake that she always meant her to be black? Liar.

[Ace's Dad]

Emma Watson (as Hermione Granger) is a rare beauty and a fine actor. She made the motion picture series for all the brothers, dads, and grandpas a pleasure to watch!
