Okay, so the "Very Brown" description in Prisoner Of Azkaban suggests Hermione has darker skin.
On the other hand, the description in Half Blood Prince says that after her black eye from Fred suggests her skin on the lighter tone when Harry says that Hermione has a "resemblance to half a panda".
It seems JK Rowling did imply Hermione's skin color, but only twice, the first one being clear as crystal glass, the second just making no sense whatsoever. So I'm picking "Very Brown" because not only for that reason but also because JK Rowling seems to have more white characters than anyone else which is kinda... ehhh...
This feels sorta odd of a question to ask honestly.
But Imma share my personal thoughts on her appearance.
I did always think of Hermione as White, but not super pale or anything...
I JUST SAW THIS AFTER I COMMENTED— 💀
I mean, I guess I can see why you'd see her as pale, I myself did watch the movies before I read the books but now trying to get into them and reading that "very brown" line now I can't get the image of a brown Hermione out of my mind.
The way I pictured her in the books is honestly why I'm not bothered by the new casting for the TV show.
Although Arabella Stanton isn't White (I don't think at least, it isn't explicitly said anywhere online), she does look very similar to what I always pictured.
Anyways, it feels a bit icky discussing a child actors race compared to the character she is playing...so I'm trying to word my thoughts as carefully as I can.
