If JK Rowling didn't mean for Hermione to be white, she wouldn't have approved a white Hermione for the Pottermore art. That was after the movies came out, so she had no worries about stepping on anyone's toes, including Emma Wstson. Also well after Rowling became an icon, so she had all the clout in the world to say Hermione was black or mixed race and was forced or pressured to make Hermione white in the movies and on dozens of different country's book art. Hermione is clearly white in Rowling's original canon, and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

The text is vague but there are tons of visual interpretations of a white Hermione, the only black one being a play, which doesn't follow gender or race logic. I saw a Beauty and the Beast musical where Beauty's father was black but she and her sisters were all white. I've seen more than one woman actress play a man's role. That's just how plays are.

I don't think Rowling was pretending anything, either. She was just giving a stamp of approval to fans who want to make Hermione black or mixed for whatever reason. However, by doing that it did make it look like she just wanted Social Conscious points.

This is why there never should have been an issue in the first place. I can't afford to go to the theater much at all, and I've still seen plenty of examples of this. If this was King Lear or something, no one would bat an eye. There was only a freak out because it's Harry Potter and people get really picky and possessive about the characters and have too much of their wants and needs wrapped up in how those characters are portrayed.
