No. It is how she's doing it. I think it is great that there is more diversity. But I find the way she's doing it questionable and question her motives. It's the way she writes them and the way she talks in interviews. Like, it was totally this diverse all along and so I should totally get the same credit as someone who wrote diverse books to begin with.

Man, I can't imagine how embittered you'd have to be to think like this. But it seems it's a prevalent opinion.

Actually not bitter at all. I don't care about Potter anymore. I enjoyed my time in the fandom, but it just doesn't interest me anymore.

Dude, she's an author of a popular YA series, not a saint. There's literally no reason to believe she is impervious to common human failings.

I don't think she's a saint or impervious to human failings.

I do think all the JRK negativity is a little pathetic.

I guess if you interpret fairly mild (and civilly expressed) suggestions in this thread that JKR might have dodgy motives for claiming greater diversity in her canon than what was apparent at the time is truly that negative... well. It does seem like this is being extraordinarily sensitive about criticism being leveled at JKR.
