A suffusion of yellow
News that black actress Noma Dumezweni will be portraying a grown up Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play has sparked internet controversy as some complain that Hermione is always white - pointing to cover illustrations and the portrayal by Emma Watson in the film adaptations.
However JK Rowling herself has twittered "Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione"
so what do you guys think? Do you think Hermione being black would have made the movies different? Should we sneer at those who rage over the race of fictional characters or is the movie canon somehow now a sacred cow up there with White Nick Fury and Yellow Hulk? Is it racism or is it love?
DO you care?
