I mean, I don't have any beef with Rowling insinuating that based solely on the manuscript she wrote. It's a fictional story, and I don't believe skin color should matter (except when it's arbitrarily changed for socio-political reasons).
But when you agree to illustrate and cinematize that manuscript, you pretty much forfeit the idea that the characters can look "however you want them to look." Emma Watson was obviously chosen for a reason - ostensibly because Rowling said "yes, that's definitely Hermione"; I don't think they drew Watson's name out of a hat.
So with all due respect to Rowling, she can't have her cake and eat it too.
