If a black actor wanted to portray Harry in a stage adaptation or if someone made a comic where Harry is black, Rowling would say yes of course go ahead Harry can be portrayed black, because unlike you she's not a racist and she's okay with any race portraying her characters. This makes racists seethe.

You racists have to understand the author's personal values matter.

"Death of the author" my ass, death of the author only applies to authors who are literally dead and can't talk back. Authors who are still alive will attack those who pervert their work with unacceptable ideas, like using Harry Potter to promote racism.

I still think that they should give him a more black name. Black folks seem to have some unique black only names. At least change Hermiones name that is the most God awful name. I read all those books as a kid not even knowing how to pronounce her name right.

Perhaps Joanne developed an interracial violation fantasy merging the self hatred projected on happier people with the dopamine fueled zeitgeist.
remember that exploiting nihilistic virtue seeking bugmen is the easiest way to money and power

EVERYONE in harry potter should be played by a blaq. Nobody should give a shit how that boring shitty series contradicts and unravels itself. It literally doesn't matter lmao. Even portraying (infamously) julius caesar in the shakespeare play black doesn't matter. None of these people are worth a damn in the arc of history they'll just be silly curiosities if anything at all, yawn and sage

If Tolkien were still alive today, he would attack all neonazis who use his books to promote white supremacy. He despised nazis and he liked Jews.

But she would have a huge issue with some nigger character being played by a white person. Isn't that curious?
