People who devote 100s of thousands of words to world building know what their characters look like. Rowling saying otherwise is disingenuous.

Actually, lots of authors say they have clear mental images of their own characters in their heads but that those images are only their own and readers should view the characters in their own way.

Oh, I think she imagined Hermione as a white-skinned, curly-haired girl. As she gave Harry green eyes. And then Dan Radcliffe couldn't tolerate green contacts. And then Emma Watson straightened her hair. And the characters grew beyond her initial sketches. As a writer, you can complain about it, or you can be gracious, as she has.

But I also think that Hermione's skin colour is nigh-irrelevant to Hermione's character arc in the books.

I know I have created characters where I don't really know what their actual ethnic background is supposed to be, and I'm a visual artist.

Given that Harry's green eyes are repeatedly described in the book as such, you'd think people would be more up at arms about that.

His scar isn't described as centred and I think I read somewhere that Chris Columbus asked JKR to draw in Harry's scar on a drawing of his face.
