heliohighway: xjehan: herhmione: this is the most beautiful tweet i’ve ever seen Listen, its cool that JKR endorses poc Hermione for her latest post-series franchise cash cow, but lets not pretend that she deserves any credit for a black Hermione. She did not write black Hermione. Her backtracking and saying “Oh yes but she could have been!” post publication is not representation and it barely scrapes by as “canon” tbh. Fans created black Hermione. They deserve the credit for this. Idk why there’s so much pushback with this. No one is crediting JK Rowling with making black hermione the only thing she did was point out that her skin color wasn’t specified. She’s not trying to take credit for representation or saying she wrote a black hermione and idk why we can’t just be happy with a black actress being cast as hermione. This tweet was just support why read deeper into it. I get it more when she decided that dumbledore was gay after the fact, but she’s not doing that here and it seems pointless to be mad about this. Like. What are we mad at? What’s the point? We got a black hermione now -- source link
