Is it a problem that new Hermione is black actress?
Producers have announced the casting for the new Harry Potter stage show, with Hermione Granger being portrayed by a black actress. While many people are pleased Swaziland-born Noma Dumezweni is taking on the role, others suggest they have a problem with Hermione "changing race".
Author and playwright Bonnie Greer explains why she is in favour of the new casting.
