The same thing happened when a black actress played Hermionie in the Cursed Child.

See I disagree on Hermione, because it's not a retelling / separate "universe", it's a direct sequel. If someone remakes Harry Potter or makes another separate series based on the same lore and Hermione (or anyone else) is black (or any other race) that's fine... But, if it's a direct sequel to the original story, then the characters should have as close to the same physical description as possible.
Completely unrelated to race also; I'd take as much issue with it if a character was established as being short and was recast with a 6 foot tall actor
