It’s not in the books but Rowling still had huge control over the film so retains responsibility.

That’s not a star of david, and it wasn’t added for the film. That’s the floor of the Freemasons Hall in London.

The masonic seal of Solomon is directly referencing the star of David.
The location was chosen for the film and the 6 pointed star was in shot unaltered.
Its filmed in Australia House.

But maybe don’t include the floor in the center shot when you’re already being accused of antisemitism.

They weren’t actively being accused at that time and, again, that’s not the star of david.

The Seal of Solomon = The Star of David.

No, people were getting suspicious of the possible Goblin = Jew metaphor was getting discussed at that time.
