    The only time I struggled was when they had Black Hermione in the Cursed Child play. I would have had zero qualms with her being black at the outset, and I was logically on-board with JK Rowling when she said “the books never specify her race, it’s unimportant to her character”. I’m even someone who can separate the movie and book portrayal of a character most of the time.

    But Emma Watson has completely brought this character to life. I just couldn’t reconcile the new actress with the character in that example.
