I think JKR originally imagined that Hermione was white. I also think it's cool that a black woman was cast as Hermione in this play and don't see a problem with it. Honestly Emma Watson looked less like the Hermione I pictured when I read the books than this actress does, and if I picture a bushy-haired black girl as book Hermione it really changes, well, nothing, as far as the story goes. It's not hurting anyone. I'm white but I think it'd be pretty pathetic and sad if a character being a different race or skin color meant I couldn't sympathize with them. I read lots of science fiction and fantasy where the protagonist isn't my species, why should I make a fuss about skin color except in the context of the real-life racism non-white people have to deal with? That hurts real people. Hermione being black doesn't hurt anyone.
