Harry Potter scribe JK Rowling has created a wizarding world that has sparked the imaginations

And while her accomplishments have made her a very rich and powerful person, that doesn't

To many fans, the decision to pair Ron Weasley with Hermione Granger was a strange one.

Ron, the goofy sidekick, had almost nothing in common with Hermione, whereas Harry always

recognized her status as the secret MVP of the story’s central trio.

Sure, Ron had a few moments of bravery, and there was that tenuous connection with her

being a muggle and his dad having a fascination with the non-wizarding world, but please.

Even Rowling knows that Hermione and Harry were the real endgame of the series.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Rowling admitted:

"I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment.

For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging

to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.

[...] It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility."

Of course, it’s possible that the personal reason she's alluding to here is the fact

that Ron Weasley was based on a close childhood friend of hers, while Hermione was based in

Rowling revealed that Albus Dumbledore was meant to be a gay character, even if it wasn't

During a reading of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, she answered a fan question as to

whether Dumbledore had ever fallen in love, saying:

While the news was received warmly by the crowd, she expressed some regret that she

hadn't been more clear about that before, saying:

"I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy."

The matter would become a point of contention later on, however, when Dumbledore's sexuality

was again left ambiguous in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

LGBTQ advocates were dismayed when director David Yates revealed that the film would "not

Although Rowling still openly defended her decision to make Dumbledore gay, she chose

to ignore those who criticized the film's lack of attention to that detail.

For the third instalment in the franchise, Yates has maintained that they will make Dumbledore's

romantic history with Grindelwald a little more obvious.

Rowling fielded more public disappointment over the fact that the cast for the first

Fantastic Beasts was predominantly white.

Producer David Heyman defended the film's casting by explaining that the story's timeline

had a lot to do with the cast's whiteness, pointing out to Entertainment Weekly that

1920s era New York was racially segregated.

“The wizarding world is a much more open and tolerant society where people of color

and different ethnic backgrounds exist harmoniously together."

Heyman also promised that the series would have "people of color filling this world in

Rowling, meanwhile, simply denied that the cast was all-white on Twitter and challenged

a fan to wait to see the movie before judging, adding:

"It is a trilogy and all the characters have not been revealed or cast yet."

The author faced further Fantastic Beasts backlash when the character of Nagini, Voldemort’s

pet snake from the original series, was introduced in The Crimes of Grindelwald as a maledictus,

played by South Korean actress Claudia Kim.

Rowling was accused of fabricating diversity with the decision, which she fought back against

by pointing out that the word “Nagini” comes from Indonesian mythology, and that

Indonesia has a significant Chinese population.

Still, as many suspected, the character came through as something of a token inclusion

All of this comes on top of other long-running Potter franchise controversies, such as the

issue of Jewish representation and varying interpretations of Hermione's race.

It’s not hard to imagine that, given the chance, she would have approached the diversity

Plenty of characters died in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but one of the offings

that hurt the most was Fred Weasley, who was killed in an explosion at the Battle of Hogwarts.

Fred had become a fan favorite, alongside his twin brother George, thanks to his signature

She would later apologize to fans for claiming the fictional life of a character who was

"Today I would just like to say: I'm really sorry about Fred."

In 2016, Rowling returned to her tradition of apologizing for a character's authorial

This time, she shone the spotlight on Remus Lupin, the Hogwart’s Defense Against the

Dark Arts professor who also turned out to be a werewolf.

It wasn't just Remus' death that hit so hard, though.

He died shortly after his wife Tonks was also killed, which meant that their newborn son

Teddy lost both his parents before he had a chance to know them - just like Harry Potter

Rowling issued a series of tweets apologizing and explaining the need for Lupin's death,

"In the interests of total honesty I'd also like to confess that I didn't decide to kill

Lupin until I wrote Order of the Phoenix.

The only time my editor ever saw me cry was over the fate of Teddy."

Whether or not Professor Severus Snape actually redeemed himself at the end of Deathly Hallows

Sure, he was working for the good guys all along and only killed Dumbledore so that Draco

But he was pretty terrible to Harry from the very start of his tenure at Hogwarts.

Making the generous assumption that he was trying to teach Potter to toughen up in preparation

for his fateful confrontation with Lord Voldemort, you can’t help but imagine some of that

was him projecting his pure acrimony for James Potter onto the Boy Who Lived.

The fandom’s split opinion on Snape meant that a good chunk of them would have been
