IIRC Dean's race isn't explicitly pointed out? At least not in the first book? I haven't read it recently to check, though, so I could be wrong on that.

Dean is also a seriously minor character and equating him to Potter is kinda ridiculous, honestly.

'Hey Bob who featured for like 1 page out of this 20 chapter book and had like 2 sentences to say could be black without affecting his plot! SO WE CAN TOTES MAKE THE MAIN CHARACTER THAI AND IT'S THE SAME RIGHT'

Spoiler: it's not the same

I think there's a difference between comparing book canon and movie canon. JKR had many years after the books to retcon everything she wanted to retcon for the movies - and if you'll notice, while she made a whole bunch of side characters POCs, for something like a total of under 10 minutes of POC spoken lines in the whole HP film franchise, it wasn't anyone major.

Remember when she said book Hermione could totally have been black? I think her heart's in the right place and she's trying to be inclusive, and it made a lot of people feel good, but I think she's also either forgotten what's in her books or isn't aware that her texts as written just don't believably support that for a whole lot of minority people.

Book-canon POCs like Cho Chang and the Parvatis were obvious; you'd know they were POC as soon as you read their names.
