Question from someone who hasn't read Harry Potter yet, why is it that some artists draw hermione black/dark skinned while others draw her white like in the movies? Is she supposed to be black in the books or something?

In the books, Hermione’s skin colour is never mentionned, so it’s up to interpretation. I used to believe she could only be white, mostly because of the movies, but also because I’m white myself and projected myself in her character.

The thing is, what we DO know about Hermione is that she had extremely thick, bushy hair and long teeth that people made fun of. She was also a victim of racism - as a Muggleborn, lots of Purebloods were very violent with her. So it makes sense to a lot of people that she could be black.

Ever since I was told this, I’ve started picturing Hermione as black in my head, because like many other people I believe it just fits well in her character. Also, because there aren’t many officialy non-white main characters in HP, it feels better that way for me. Representation matters, you know? Same goes for Harry having Indian heritage. I just feel like its more believable that way.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you pronoun hir/hirs?

(I assume you mean pronounce)

To be honest, I’m not 100% sure, because I only use it online (I don’t live in an english speaking country).

But I’d probably pronounce it like here/here’s. :)

For the interesting fact thing, i have really black hair but i have like these weird random silver hairs on my head mixed in with the black and im only 15

that is so cool??here’s a fact, i was born with zero freckles but in the past two years they have started appearing on my cheeks for no reason~tell me an interesting fact about yourself and I will reply with an interesting fact about myself that I think of when I read yours.

Why do people say Persephone's black? I mean I don't have a problem with it, I just never heard that in any of the myths I've read

i mean, the idea of “black” didn’t really exist in ancient greek times like we know it now - obviously variations in skin color existed, but the social idea of ‘black’ didn’t exist, so i think people’s thinking isn’t so much that she’s definitively black in canon, but there’s nothing in canon that says she isn’t 

and, i would like to emphasize the fact that ancient greek gods aren’t by default white, and can be literally any race (again: social ideas of race didn’t exist in ancient greek times, so they could be any race). i like those interpretations, personally!
