Hermoinie and every other white character was never specified as being white because they were written in the early 1990s-early 2000s set in 90s England where everyone is presumed to be white unless stated otherwise. And non-white character were specified to be white. Whether it be Dean Thomas, who was explicitly stated to be black in the books by JK Rowling and he was also explicitly drawn black by her in her doodles (previously referred to as Gary until she renamed hin to Dean), or they had explicitly non-white names like Chang.
Hermoinie was obviously white, as she was written during a time and in a setting where white is the default and non-whites are the exception and have their non-whiteness pointed out whether it be in descriptions, names, or illustrations. Hermoinie is never described as non-white, Granger is an English and white name, and in all illustrations of her both by JK Rowling and approved by her she is white. She was obviously white in the books and idk why you insist on pretending she wasn’t and she isn’t being race swapped. Just admit she was race swapped and argue why you think that’s ok rather than try to disingenuously argue she wasn’t white in the books.
