The creator of Harry Potter has shut down racist opponents to a black actress playing Hermione in the upcoming 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' stage play.
Harry Potter's story doesn't end with the events of The Deathly Hallows. That final book -- and its movie adaptation -- adds an epilogue seeing Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione waving their own children off to Hogwarts as adults, hinting at new adventures to come.
