If they want a black wizard create a substitute teacher for the dark arts/potions and state that at that time Prof. Snape is ill or away on a secret mission and this substitute will take over. Voila! We've had Black Captain America, Spider-Man, Nick Fury, they even made Aragorn from Lord of the Rings black in MtG. The best characters aren't tied to their skin color they connect with the audience/reader. Static Shock, Storm, Spawn, Morpheus, Blade, Black Panther, Uncle Phil, and even Steve Urkel. And the character doesn't have to be specific skin color to be relatable. I love an array of characters of all skin tones. It's how well the character portrays the human condition, not skin color!
