So please explain to me what the critics want. Like, what would make them happy? Or at least not so annoyed?

I can't speak for all of them, but the comment re: Maggie Steifvater's approach doesn't sound like a bad start. An acknowledgement that yeah, the series could've been more diverse than it was, and Rowling is now more aware of such issues than she was at the time and she'll keep that in mind for future works. But that's a pretty obvious answer and I'm puzzled that you truly needed me to clarify it, since there are echoes of that in this thread and likely in the same places where there's criticism of how Rowling actually handled it.

text for those who don't want to click:

literally how hard would it have been for jkr to say something like “listen I was writing it in the 90s, I was inexperienced, I was writing from my own point of view, I didn’t realise how underrepresented a lot of people are, I wasn’t thinking about anything other than the plot, I accept that it’s a little sparse on the diversity front, I can try to be more self aware with my future works” etc etc instead of.. this nonsense
