Didn’t Rowling throw in that he was gay after she wrote the books? I’m becoming like my parents. They turn off a show when there is an lgbt character introduced. So tired of the overrepresentation. Not everything has to be in everything. Warehouse 13 was a great example of a gay character or Torchwood (granted I fast forwarded through kiss scenes). Although back then the representation obsession wasn’t what it is now.
Modern shows with black or female leads are suspect due to the messaging and any show with Hispanics now will most likely be an open borders lecture.
Not sure if she had that much pull when it came to casting. What she did have sway over was the number of book covers that show a very white skinned Hermione.

Thank goodness for classic tv options
Not to mention, Rowling was heavily involved in casting the films. If she envisioned Hermione as black, they wouldn't have cast Emma Watson.
