'Harry Potter' fans are totally blown away by this illustrator's black Hermione fan art



#BlackHermione #HarryPotter #Hermione #JKRowling #SophiaCanning,

 Sophia Canning posted an illustration of Hermione as a woman of color, which took her about three or four hours to draw.
Notice how Hermione's wearing a SPEW badge — that's Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, for those unfamiliar. 
Illustrators and Harry Potter fans alike were amazed by Canning's beautiful piece. 
Fellow illustrator Sara Rhys said the piece clearly "took a ton of skill" and didn't look like it had been drawn quickly. 
One fan wrote that it was the "most beautiful and realistic Hermione" they'd ever seen. 
Another fan said it was "hands down" the best Hermione fan art they'd ever seen. 
Some asked about Canning's technique. She explained that the whole thing had been drawn in Photoshop. 
"Take a bow," one fan wrote. 
Some people took issue with the fact that Canning drew Hermione as a woman of colour. She had something to say in response: 
"Shut the fuck up dumbasses," wrote Canning. 
Let's all just remind ourselves what J.K. Rowling had to say when it was announced Noma Dumezweni had been cast as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Beautiful!
