    And surprise surprise, people are upset about it. sasmith
    I personally love the idea that Hermione is/was black, makes me love the character even more although it will be hard to imagine given all of the previous representations of her being white.
    What do my fellow potterheads @DreG and @bpaisle think?? Everyone's thought are welcome of course!

    As a serious Potter fan (all hail Jk Rowling), i feel this is a good move. Hermoine already felt like a black person. Being muggle(black) born whilst everyone was pure blood (white). She was always the black kid trying to prove she could be just as good and even better than those pure bloods. Girl lived in the Library

    She Who Walks Among Us said that even though it wasn't her intention,the mudblood stuff reminds her of racism.Now we know why Hermione's bushy hair was relevant.

    So Black Hermione probably wasn't part of the second task.Soon as they said something about going in the lake she was like Oh hale nawl,I aint gettin my hair wet.

    Parvati and Lavender didn't understand why Hermione wore her Gryffindor scarf on her head every night.

    Hermione being black actually makes sense in the context of her story.

    I'm not against it for sure...I wish she would've been black from the beginning...(I do like Emma Watson though) there wasn't too many black people in the series..the main recurring one was Dean Thomas...Lee Jordan was at the beginning but then he graduated by the third book so he was gone...that was pretty much it...

    Yeah I'm conflicted. I grew up with Emma Watson and that version of the character but I do agree it would have been better if this was established from the start. I actually forgot about Lee (I am ashamed lol) because you're right, he didn't stay around that long...hoping like in Ocky's The Future is Finn article that this mean the start of a more diverse and inclusive media!

    Haha that is messed up but let me ask you guys this; why do you think JK chose to keep her ethnicity ambiguous compared to others like Kingley and Dean or even Cho for example. Do you think she originally envisioned her it be of strictly European descent or was she truly meant to be different? My guess is if the latter is true she was most likely pressured into altering her background to give her "mass appeal".

    I think she was intended as a white chick.The books usually point out when a character is black,so I think it would have been mentioned if she were just like her teeth and hair were.If she weren't a white girl I think it would have been seen as less distinctive for her to have bushy hair.But she still works well as a black girl.She pretty much did all the work and held everything down (Gof and DH are prime examples).That definitely sounds like the strength of a lot of blk women i know.

    What's funny is when I read the first book I always imagined her as black or biracial. Then the movies came out and I just started envisioning Emma Watson. But it definitely does make her story all the more tragic and triumphant. Just replace "Mudblood" with another racial epithet starting with an "N" and imagine being forced to carve that into your arm...
