harry potter - Was JK Rowling involved with Noma Dumezweni's casting as Hermione Granger in Cursed Child?
It has been announced that Noma Dumezweni, a person of color, will play Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Is there any indication of JK Rowling's involvement in this casting? And what does this effect Hermione's ethnicity?
Answer
According to her twitter page, she was involved in the casting of the play, but the Director had final refusal.
John Green: speaking of which, great job on the casting of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child!
JKR: Thanks! John (director) cast my three first choices so I'm very happy! His decision, though, because Writers. Don't. Do. Casting.
