Is she really brown-ish in the books or is it JK trying to stay in the limelight?
>>70394062
She is black. Her race is never referred to in the books. This is because Rowling was pressured to make her white in the official artwork by her publisher, but could keep it ambiguous in the books so as not to lose sales. People are still very bigoted. They don't even want to read about PoC
>>70394062
Theres a line in the book that says she is white also shes in fucking Britain in the 1990's of course shes white.
>>70394062
She's a coal-black negro from the deepest Congo, shitlord
>>70394109
Yeah, fucking HERMIONE was a black girl. Every single black person in that book had such a stereotypical black person name. Fucking Kingsley... Blaise... That's actually about it cause there were no fucking black people in the books. Not very progressive imo
>>70394132
And what? Drown myself in shitpost because they will refuse to talk about Harry Potter for it is not really "literature"?
No, thanks. Besides, I've seen better discussions here.
>>70394109
Except she's white on the book covers lmao
>>70394140

Stop the erasure please
>>70394209

It's a well known fact that black people turn white with fear.
>>70394062
>is it JK trying to stay in the limelight?
The bitch retconned Dumbledore into being gay as an afterthought and you are trying to question this
Never met a black person that wasn't multiracial with brown bushy hair, Rowling didn't write Hermoine as blac but is retconning her now.
>>70394062
JK is just trying to stir shit up and still remain relevant today.
The covers of books 3 and 7 clearly show her as white.
There's even a line in one of the books that states that her face becomes pink.
>>70394062
JK rowling is an unreliable narrator
harry died in the triwizard tournament pattinson was his tyler durden
ron died in azkaban after hermione snitched on him to save her family
bellatrix lestrange took her as an apprentice
dumbledore was a flesh horcrux of voldemort
snape was played by both sides
ron's father gave potter's family away
she's an awful writer and only has any relevance because of 12 year old tumblr users who jerk her off
>>70394062
Sorry I'm late
Jk rowling is a labour pc woman, ofcourse she will say hermione could be black for dem pc points
>>70394174
Well you are wrong this time. The old and wise helpful figure in fiction usually isn't gay either. Rowling knows how to subvert expectations, it's basic storytelling skill. This is why she is the first billionaire author
>>70394187
Her publisher (Bloomsbury) is notoriously racist. And if they weren't, she'd still be white on the cover. PoC characters are made white on the cover so that people will buy the books. Especially if it is being sold outside the West. Look it up. This happens even to authors who are well-established, which Rowling hardly was at the time
Who cares, /v/? it was easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises, Dylan. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
Dumbledore is gay. It's never mentioned, because it's not relevant to the story, but he sucks huge big fat black (just like Hermione) cocks
>>70394227
>>70394230
It's an expression. Like a white person's face being "black with rage."
Only black characters were the ones that ginny dated

the fact that dumbledore was in a gay relationship with the second most evil wizard in the world and that they both were planning to enslave all the muggles isnt a important part to you?

She knew when the movies were made that he was gay. The screenwriter was going to give him a girlfriend and she said no.

The way the product was sold to the public was with white characters, and changing that is racist as well. :^)
>>70394349
No it's not "just an expression" you fucking racist, black people turn white with fear, this is an indisputable fact, fucking racist much?
>>70394387
Black/dark with rage is also used. Google it in quotes
>>70394109
1) see
>>70394312
2) Every time someone wasn't white it was explicitly mentioned. To not do so with a main character, who otherwise got a quite explicit description, is a wee bit odd.
>>70394385
I'm so sorry
>>70394349
google says there is no such expression
>>70394426

So what you're saying is that when a writer wants to aid your imagination of the character for the sake of better immersion, you deliberately mislead them and never once allude to their race while simultaneously adding implications of a different one?
I suggest you look up Tolkien's works on the primary and secondary worlds, because one of the very worst things a writer can do is undermine the readers confidence in the author's ability to keep basic facts about the world straight.
To suggest a writer do so in a non narrative sense (such as a red herring, or keeping facts from the reader by way of the PoV of a character who wouldn't spot them) is ludicrous.
10/10 effort if this is bait, by the way, because I can genuinely believe a Tumblrite would be this ignorant
>>70394641
adopted
white people love adopting black babies, especially in england
If one of your main characters is a non-white in a mostly white setting then you make this fucking clear from the beginning. Hermione was either always meant to be white or Rowling is a coward
>>70394564
>Here is one example
Do you have something from this century?
>>70394869
This
Angelina and Lee Jordan and the rest of the niggers where all described as black
Hermione never was (the other way around, really) so she's sure as hell meant to be White
>>70394062
I'm more annoyed at her daughter in the play. If you want to make Hermione black then fine, but if a black fucks a ginger then their daughter will look clearly mixed, not the dark as coal little girl they cast.
Use some common sense.

Once they realise that the emperor has no clothes, despite how vocal he is, they'll be dropped in the blink of an eye.
It may look dark now (no pun intended), but that's because businesses are trying to exploit a niche that doesn't actually exist. Once they realise where the money is, they'll stop forcing people to accept it

>>70394209
Doesn't say that at all "Her pale face stuck out from behind a tree" and it was in a non fear situation pleb
I feel bad for Rowling. The liberals made a "progressive" casting decision and so forced her hand. She can't speak out against it because if she does she'll be a racist.
They are shitting on her life's work and making her smile while they do it.
>>70395851
The real problem is that the BBC is designed to not give a shit about figures.
In theory, this is supposed to mean that they focus entirely on quality and ignore lowest common denominator traps that other networks fall into, and indeed this has worked in the past and still works for the likes of anything Attenborough related.
The self evident problem is that this also allows any shameless creative executive to push an agenda without consequence.
Any other network would be forced by the free market to either
A) Stop being so preachy
or
B) Earn the right to preach by actually getting an audience first.
You think Family Guy is bad in the preachy department? At least it brings something to the table for some audiences
If that was on the BBC, it wouldn't even have that.
>>70394557
JK Rowling is a trash writer.
>>70396049
Honestly, she's probably on board with it, or at least not against it.
She's never really given any indication that she's particularly protective of the series, outside of barring anything she doesn't like personally from being too involved with it and creating a site dedicated to covering up loose threads.
I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if we get a remake, be it tv or film, of the series a few years down the line.
Hopefully we'll be in society that doesn't value virtue signalling when that happens.

Does she look black to you?
>>70396549
The Deathly Hallows cover is the one that clinches it.
Underage anons probably don't remember how fucking gigantic Harry Potter was at the time, but Rowling could do pretty much whatever the fuck she wanted back then, and had been since after Goblet of Fire was released.
If any of the characters on the cover were inaccurate, Rowling not only had the power to demand a change, but could have forced the publisher to walk naked down Downing Street in penance.
People that think the later covers reflect nothing are deluding themselves, as is Rowling if she thinks people don't realise the power she had over the publishers.

http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Secondary_world
Read that for why any author that isn't a hack will only make a significant change if they have no other choice, or if they can pull enough scraps together from their work to claim it was forshadowed.
Rowling tried to weasel in with the latter, but forgot she'd burned that bridge already.
This all could have been avoided if she'd just said "It's a play, races get changed all the time in theater".
>>70396982
technically yes, but most of these plebs have only read lotr, asoiaf and maybe animal farm
>>70397011
>This all could have been avoided if she'd just said "It's a play, races get changed all the time in theater".
This shit right here. Haven't white people played Othello before?
>>70396879
that's some autistic artwork
>>70397060
Yup. It's a well known practice in theater. She could have just said "They picked the best actress" but she used it as an excuse to score points with the liberals.
>>70396982
It's a literal description that states fear.
Blood rushing from the face, causing whiteness, is a physical change caused directly by fear or, in some cases, rage.
It's like saying someone was sweaty hands due to nervousness or excitement; the fact that they are nervous doesn't make the sweat from their hands evaporate.
>>70397017
if that was the case, saying the color had drained from her face would have worked better, especially for a poc character.
>>70397120
Yes, and it is something that only happens in non-melanin enriched people.
>>70395201

>>70397060

What is there to say about it? The original actress for Hermione was going to be white but dropped out, the only one who could replace her was black. Rowling couldn't give two shits about the actress as long as she makes a fuckton of cash out of her legions of fans who obsess over Harry Potter
Besides, it's a play, they can and will cast a white Hermione eventually.

And if she had left it at that there would be no problem. But when she tries to claim that Hermione was always black then there is an issue.
>>70396049
Why would a billionare care if something as dumb as the race of one of her characters can make her seem racist. It's not like she'll lose her job or anything.

She's black. The "white face" refers to the fact that she was scared shitless not that she's actually white. But I guess /tv/ is too stupid to know what an idiom is. Oh well.

WHY ARE THEY NOT ALL NON WHITE
THIS IS VERY OFFENSIVE TO ME
>>70394062
I think people are giving Rowling a rougher time with this than she deserves. She's never come forward to say "Hermione was black all along!", rather some chicks from Tumblr asked her "Could Hermione be black????" And Rowling replied. "Sure, why not." She's leaving her books open for interpretation, and as skin colour is left 99% ambiguous in her books, it is just as well left to be interpretive by the readership.
>>70401360
Occam's razor favors /tv/. The opposition makes too many assumptions based on too little, and ambivalent, evidence.
>>70401739
There's a slav down there in the lower left corner and that's it. Very bigoted, Rowling.

It's blatantly made obvious from the beginning that magical aptitude has absolutely nothing to do with blood, I don't know how delusional you have to be to miss that
Hermione -full muggle
Harry - half
Voldemort - half
Harry's mom -half
Snape -half
Dumbledore - half
Ron - pure blood
Fucking Nevil - pure blood
Draco - pure blood

This. People get too attached to their own visualizations of what characters look like (or the popular cinematic versions). Now, I won't argue that people not have those interpretations, but to argue this hard and get this butthurt over a new take on the same characters is immature, closed minded and stifling for creativity.

Honestly, if I saw a kid buying cutlery I'd be suspicious as fuck. The fuck is a kid gonna do with cutlery except cook meth or stab someone with?
>>70394062
>>70394109
In one of the books she specificity mentioned as having a white face.
>>70402053
The problem to everyone outside stormfags has never been that no interpretation can be black, it's been stated multiple times already that theater does that all the time without anyone giving a fuck.
The problem is she's virtue signalling for cheap points without bothering to realise she already contradicted herself in her own books, casting and authorised ancillary material.
She is white. Blacks dont blush which she does several times in the books
>>70402274
J.K has come out on many occasions expressing regret over certain decisions she made throughout the creation of HP. For good or ill, we can't really make that judgement call because we are not the creators of the work; she is. If she wants to give the ok to fans that Harry is bisexual, then she is fully within her right as it is HER property to do so. The only thing we as fans have control over is our enjoyment of the end product and our own interpretation. Again, nothing changes in post because the original story is already out for our reading/viewing pleasure.

>magical ability has literally nothing to do with bloodline, shitlord! look at all these half bloods who did good things! heredity is a social construct you fascist
>>70402532
is that because they have no morality or concept of shame or is it more a pigment thing

>Barthes notes that the traditional critical approach to literature raises a thorny problem: how can we detect precisely what the writer intended? His answer is that we cannot.
Coupled with the fact that there is NO definitive quote in the book that Hermoine is or is not black, just descriptions of her hair and her personality and that J.K approved of her being black when asked (and must have okayed the play), its safe to assume this is what she intended.
>>70403094
She also approved of her being white on all of the book covers, in all of the book art, in all of the movies, and on Pottermore. All before the play came out.
>>70397060
How does that work? Blackface or do they just call the Irish guy a Moor
>>70403242
They simply don't acknowledge it because their race doesn't matter.
>>70397482
>it's not a french fries, it's a potato.
product of the same thing
>>70403242
They just ignore it, or give a tongue in cheek delivery when the conflicting race/gender is mentioned.
I remember James Earl Jones in Much Ado about nothing a few years ago, playing the part of one of the younger men, and they just winked at the audience when the line came up

she has to study her ass off retard
it came to harry fucking easily.
how would a young Stephen Strange fare in Hogwarts lads?
as it has been said.
1. she is white on book covers
2. it explicitly says she is white in books
3. it explicitly says she goes red (something negroes cannot do)
>>70403281
I haven't seen Othello in a while, but isn't the fact that he's a Moor really important?
>>70395201
I actually just took a break from this thread to watch Frank. It's pretty good. Funnily enough, it's got an actor from Harry Potter, he played one of the Weaslys.
>>70403918
doesn't change just because the actor isnt black really.
the character is still moor
>>70403618
No she didn't. She ENJOYED studying her ass off, she didn't NEED to. Ron and Harry were the ones who had to spend ages studying(with Hermione tutoring them) just to pass the normal classes. Meanwhile Hermione breezed through the curriculum with great grades(except for the year where she used time-travel to take more classes than it was actually possible to take.) and spent her time studying above-her-grade shit that she wanted to learn.
Nothing came to Harry easily except for duelling(partly he only used one spell) and Quidditch, both because he's good on his feet, you dolt. Except for in the movies. There it's Hermione who's good on her feet as well.
Hermione could fix Harry's glasses before she even arrived at Hogwarts, despite not knowing anything about magic until her Hogwarts letter arrived. Meanwhile Ron grew up with magic all around him and had to study his ass off to learn the simplest shit.
>>70399950
Well, we know she's clever and study a fuckton, but when speaking about magical"power" or some shit, we can't know for sure if she was stronger. Strong wizards are known to do magic without wands easily (Harry, Dumbledore, Voldemort...) and we never see her do that.
>>70394062
It's clearly Rowling trolling the fuck out of easily-triggered racists. Pretty funny.
>>70397060
>>70404076
Same way she trolls the Scots who want independence. Fucking hilarious to see her twitter feed explode in "YOU RICH TRAITOR!" responses.
>>70404076
giving her way too much credit
>>70404531
No, you're assigning too much credit to the practice of trolling. Five-year-olds do it.
>>70403988
Hermione was smarter when it comes to books but Harry had a ton more magical power.
>>70403969
Something tells me that if I was cast as Othello, as a German/Irish guy, people would flip their shit.
>>70404644
This
Hermione wasn't magically gifted to that extent, she was just very intelligent and studious
Which of course makes it even more absurd to claim that she's a coon
>>70394306
That's alright, you're here now :)
>>70404644
>magical power.
literally doesn't exist.
Skill and knowledge are the only things that have any impact on spells.
Voldemort and Dumbledore are explicitly prodigies due to their control, not because they can make bigger bangs than other people.
The part that empasised riddle's early ability wasn't that he glassed a building, it was that he had conscious control over what he could do.
>>70404764
except its literally happened before
not every nation has a steady supply of black people
>>70404764
They wouldn't, because the people that chimpout over race changes aren't the type that actually care, or probably even know, about classical theater.
>>70394062
Rowling is an absolute hack that does anything for approval.
She also delcared Dumbledore gay retroactively for no reason to appeal to homosexuals.
Retards praised for making such a "bold" move.
>>70404644
>>70404765
Except Harry never cast a single spell better than Hermione except for the Patronus spell, and that was because Hermione never had the opportunity to use it, since she wasn't hounded by Dementors. AND he had the connection to Voldemort boosting him for all those years.
Harry is good on his feet. He's quick-thinking and has good instincts, and he's a good teacher. He is not better at magic than Hermione. Ron is not quick-thinking nor is he good at magic, and so Harry is better than him.
>>70404841
I'm talking about a professional play in a big country, not some high school play in a small Irish village.
>>70404971
That's happened too, you mouthbreathing buffoon.
>>70396640
Considering that Black kids are doing better than white kids in Britain in regards to school marks, it doesn't really surprise me.
>>70394062
She's white. Her skin color is mentioned in the book. Rowling tried to pull a "Dumbledore was really gay the whole time, it just isn't mentioned.", but this time she forgot she DID mention Hermione's race.
>>70404910
Alright, well if it was a big budget movie of a beloved book franchise, or some reboot, big play, etc., people would flip their shit if I was cast as someone who was previously black (or previously had tons of black characteristics but was a totally ambiguous race :^) ). I would have the Jezebel and Gawker drones sending death threats daily.
