That was a lie / misremembering by Ms Rowling... Hermione's skin tone is specifically mentioned more than once.
I struggle with this because on principle I agree that it shouldn't matter, but I'm a huge fan of fiction, and specifically I'm a huge fan of persistent universes, and maintaining the "integrity" of said universes IS important to me (and many people) as failing to do so breaks immersion / "bursts the bubble" so to speak and destroys the element of escapism.
So basically I don't care at all what race etc. any character is, but I do care that it's adhered to once its established within that storyline.
E.g. Again, it's fine with Bond as each new actor for all intents and purposes represents a new storyline / "new Bond" and always has, with a few small caveats.
And it would be fine to, for example, reboot "The Matrix" from the start as a TV show with Neo being Asian and Trinity black and Morpheus Mexican or any other combination... BUT if they were to make a sequel with a new cast, I would expect them to be as close in appearance to the originals as possible.
