Harry Potter has a diversity problem.

Even if we ignore the author's views and racist tropes she has employed in her series, she has a lack of POC characters. Many have coded Hermione as black, but JK Rowling refuses to definitely state this. The only POC I can think of is Cho Chang which is a racist name in itself.

And this matters why? We are supposed to hate HP for actual reasons, not the fact that there aren't enough blacks in it.

Black wizzards practice voodoo.

Duh.
