  Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted when the most believable name she could come up with for the token character of Chinese descent in the series was “Cho Chang”, whose only meaningful relation to the plot was as a shallow love interest until the main character got bored of her, and her idea of gay representation was “let’s make the character I just killed-off retroactively gay, and scandalize it by making him fall in love with wizard Hitler, and let’s do that just in time to show the audience that all of that character’s brightness and joy was an act covering for the fact that he was, canonically, by his own admission, raising the main character as a lamb to sacrifice on the altar of necessary evil”. Yeah… There’s no prejudice there at all.

  I loved the books as a kid, and I still love the first movie and a good bit of the world building, but come on, people.
