    What an odd response

    Does the fact that a character isn’t real mean that we can’t point out when an author contradicts themselves? Even if she claimed that the contradiction doesn’t exist?

    Does referring to someone in a thread about that person mean that you’re a fan of them?

    Does mentioning where someone has contradicted themselves mean that you’re complaining about the thing that they contradicted themselves over?

    Did you put any thought whatsoever into your post or was it just a knee-jerk response?

      It’s just weird to fixate on skin tone. There’s plenty to criticize JK about, but that ain’t it.

        I didn’t focus on skin tone. I referenced where a public statement about the character by Rowling contradicted what’s in the books.

          about skin tone as if it’s weird that a character is played by somebody of the “wrong” race

            I don’t control what Rowling said or what she wrote in the books.

            Okay, if you think it’s wrong for me to bring up this particular thing that Rowling said, tell me which other public statement that Rowling has made where she contradicts what the books say about Hermione should i have referenced instead?
