i need someone to point out the black ppl with a good amount of lines in the potter movies cuz i dont really remember any
thats just how J.K roll i guess
As far as I can remember there were only six black characters with speaking roles in all 8 Harry Potter films.
Lee Jordan
The Quidditch announcer in the first few movies.
Dean Thomas
Gryffindor student. Had maybe 1 line every other movie.
Random Black dude in Prisoner of Azkaban
This dude went unnamed in the movie, and I honestly can't remember if he was in the books.
He had a handful of lines in Prisoner of Azkaban and was never heard from or seen again.
Angelina Johnson
She had a few lines in Goblet of Fire. Dated Fred Weasley.
Kingsley Shacklebot
Auror and Order of the Phoenix member. He had maybe 6 lines spread across the last 4 films.
He did become Minster for Magic in the end tho. (At least in the books.)
Blaise Zabini
Had 3 or 4 lines in Half-Blood Prince.
Honestly Harry Potter is one of my favorite film/book franchises, and I can kinda gave JK a pass for not having many black characters.
You usually don't find many black characters in the fantasy genre. Not to mention it takes place in the middle of nowhere England.
With that being said, this movie takes in NYC in 1926, the height of the Harlem Renaissance and the Great Migration.
If would be bs if there aren't any black characters.

Of course I'm in, I'm a Potterhead, but I hope they don't try to completely replicate everything and there something about this movie that's completely unique and compelling on its own.
