A black actress is playing Hermione in the Harry Potter play, and J.K. Rowling loves it
"Brown eyes, frizzy hair, and very clever. White skin was never specified," Rowling tweeted.
“Painting Hermione as a woman of color” is “an act of reclaiming her allegory at its roots,” film and TV writer Alanna Bennett wrote in a BuzzFeed community post in February. “Hermione Granger will always be an icon, no matter what color her skin… The least we could do is provide her with more room to be that icon.”

So fantastic. When I first heard I didn’t believe it was real cause no way would a studio go out on a limb like that
