Like several popular series,
Harry Potter has seen through the years a vast amount of fan fiction and fan art surrounding it. Even as the very last ebook within the Harry Potter collection, Harry Potter, and the Deathly Hallows turned into released in 2007, the fandom surrounding the paranormal trio refuses to subside. Sophia Canning recently published an illustration of Hermione Granger, one of the 3 protagonists in the JK Rowing series, which has pushed twitter right into a frenzy.
The illustration suggests Hermione wearing a SPEW badge, which stands for Society for the promoting of Elfish Welfare.
Academy Award prevailing actress Patricia Marquette shared the instance on TwitterDid an interview with NOW THIS, check it out ✨ https://t.co/GOl5ECrnLb— Sophia 🐥 (@peaceofseoul) August 18, 2018

There were some of the folks who expressed their discomfort with the concept of a black Hermione to which Sophia replied:A quick Hermione, living her best life✨ pic.twitter.com/I7hTUja1Jx— Sophia 🐥 (@peaceofseoul) August 12, 2018
Ugh people are discoursing about black Hermione on my really old hp fanart like “I’m all for black empowerment but she’s white in canon” “I don’t really mind [black Hermione] but it frustrates me” “Rowling said she was black for brownie points” like shut the fuck up dumbasses— Sophia 🐥 (@peaceofseoul) August 12, 2018
Incidentally, Noma Dumezweni, a black actress, had been forged as Hermione
Granger in two-part level play Harry Potter and the Cursed child.
