I think Rowling got done dirty by journos in this case. IIRC she was saying something about how stage play Hermione could be played by a black actress (normal in theater where you have less casting options than Hollywood) and nobody should bully her, then the press runs around announcing "JRK says Hermione is actually black all along, RACISTS BTFO!" and her woke fans start insisting the books themselves say she's black.Hermonie being black isn't canon anyway because Rowling herself describes her as coming back WITH A TAN from vacations with her folks. You already wrote it, Joanne. Retconing it doesn't work when the book has already been printed.
Remember that time Billy Dee Williams made some Jungian reference about Lando, and the journoscum decided the headlines would be "Williams says Lando is genderfluid pansexual!!!" You don't hate journos enough, it is physically impossible.
