melancholy and merciless

Some highlights:

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

i've seen a lot of bad grey anime art of darker skinned characters over the years but this one is hard to believe is even supposed to be sincere it's bordering on purple

they went for the highly clichéd dark skin-white hair combo (again) but were so against actually giving her skin a dark value that the contrast that makes that design choice so popular in the first place doesn't even exist. it looks terrible. unless it turns out she's supposed to be a walking corpse it's shit, and even then. a little bit of saturation and warmth and immediately it stops wildly clashing with her hair and gold design elements

i personally like the white hair thing a lot as overused as it is, but putting her in a more 'natural' palette overall makes her look really nice, actually
