She's a virtue signaller who tries to retcon stupid stuff through tweets or tries to appeal to SJWs by going directly against her material, e.g. Hermione being black. Also, her knowledge of history and her own books is hilariously bad (she got Merlin's era wrong by around 600 years and forgot that Hogwarts had sewage systems when the castle was built).
She's kind of the George Lucas of fantasy: brilliant ideas and created a phenomenal piece of work, but as a person she's a bit of a moron who can't stop messing around with material. The only difference is that Lucas had the integrity to do his own thing and understood when to leave it be.

I do not really follow Twitter that much since it is full of pathetic SJWs who have nothing better to do than whine, complain and act all virtuous. Did the "Hermione being black" actually happen just to bow down to SJWs? Lmao.

You tell me. Personally it doesn't bother me either way, but the fact that she lies about it is quite clearly her trying to appear very accepting and liberal...yet she somehow forgets to omit Dumbledore being gay.

Well a lot of celebrities have no backbone and tend to virtue signal to get attention so that people tell them how great they are. I do not really care if Hermione was black but if you are going to do that then do it from the beginning in the books instead of changing the facts just to virtue signal and look accepting. It is sort of pathetic when celebrities do that and makes them look fake and ingenuine.
