I disagree. Even if she would have said that people would still be pissed.
I disagree. Had JK come out and said I'm shaking things up a bit or taking artistic license I wouldn't have any issue.The books clearly depict her as white unless you take a very tortured read of them and the movies only back that up. That she won't admit that is what's ruffling feathers.
Via FM, "The story was good, but not great. I’m hoping that the book will be better on that score. But, the biggest problem with the story probably can’t be fixed in a book. I can’t say much about this without spoiling the story – suffice to say that it seems as if some of the rules of magic established in the original series seem to have been broken in this round."
Anyone read it?
Yes. I personally loved it. It's not JK Rowling style of writing at all but it's extremely captivating.
Are the rules of Magic changed?
In a certain way, she changes the way a concept that existed in the 3rd book works. But for the regular magic like spells and wands - no.
is this regarding time travel? I haven't read it yet but saw an article that discussed this
