“character” isn’t a type. It’s a property of the CreativeWork type. If you look at https://schema.org/character <https://schema.org/character>, it says that values are still expected to be of the type Person. > On 20 Jun 2022, at 19:09, Jason Pelish <jason@massiveimpressions.com> wrote: > > Thank you for pointing that out.

Who would be more certain that Harry Potter isn't a real wizard lad than J.K. Rowling?
