    Hermione isn’t a real person. An author can make their characters whatever they want at any time for any reason with no regard for established cannon. Writers do it all the time. They may be terrible writers, or even terrible people, but none the less they “own” the character.

    Ditch the bitch and stop complaining about skin tone.

      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.
