This is an overly smug thing to say and I don't agree that she outright "lied". Other people have already explained most of my thoughts about this specific thing. I will say that she's a highly overrated writer who needs to do her homework. No one, let alone an child, can just wander from Plymouth Massachusetts to Mount Greylock in the Berkshires (a 2-3 hour drive). Also "educating" the Wampanoag about magic is just offensive. I can't imagine they'd ever need "education" from a white Irish girl. They have their own culture and ways, but of course JKR wouldn't research about that - she'll just insert them lazily into her writing.

The woman also set her other book in an all-white Harlem. Somehow I doubt she's ever been to Harlem and has no concept of any culture in North America whatsoever. It's shoddy, insensitive work and everyone just eats it up. Her incessant fan-service and canon editing on social media is also garbage. Blech.
