literally how hard would it have been for jkr to say something like “listen I was writing it in the 90s, I was inexperienced, I was writing from my own point of view, I didn’t realise how underrepresented a lot of people are, I wasn’t thinking about anything other than the plot, I accept that it’s a little sparse on the diversity front, I can try to be more self aware with my future works” etc etc instead of.. this nonsense
Bonus points for a Mark Hamill-esque “if you pictured Hermione black? Anyone queer? Then they sure are, these characters can be anything you want them to be”, and just LEAVE IT THERE
