HBO's Harry Potter TV show is on some other shyt after this casting decision.

[AyyyLmao]

Hell nah, bruh. shyt's looking dead on arrival. This dude is supposed to be some creepy, pale, vampire-looking mf with greasy hair. How the fukk are you gonna make Snape of all characters Black? Not only that, they're gonna have this simp pining for decades over some PAWG who rejected his ass for the white boy who bullied him. Man, what the fukk is HBO thinking?

HBO has some big hits. Currently really into new Dune Prophecy.

Never got into Harry Potter like that, kids read the books and watched movies but I never did so will likely not watch this either but I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt if I was a Potter fan

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Let that black man eat

 

[Premeditated]

sometimes i think these executives are purposely choosing black people for these famous white roles so they can get shytted on. don't know how they benefit from it but they can't be this tone deaf

i'll watch if it's interesting though

 

[Ill-Yaz]

Came to rant about this

This has pis$ed me right off!

What the fuk are they thinking!?

 

[RamsayBolton]

i mean i wouldnt have auditioned for this role either but this is veering into "lets be anti-woke and agree with the star wars white boys for me"

i know white people going to be mad as fukk. im not gonna pile onto the stress for that black man

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and I don't see anything wrong with it. It's a story and he's portraying a character. As long as he does a good job of making the character alive it doesn't matter if he's black or white. OP you sound like those incels that rage when they're a female lead or black character in video games. Stop letting them white wash your brain. It's more colors out here than just wyte

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Meh this is just rage bait for the right so that they can complain about DEI

Just stop with the race and gender switching because it looks like pandering and doesn’t improve the story or viewership

Weird thread

 

[Burned Verses]

This shyt will always be insincere & patronizing

This
It creates buzz at the actors expense.

 

[UncleTomFord15]

They need to stop this shyt it's offensive to black people and cringe

 

[Jaguar93]

Why not set this show in another school in the Harry Potter universe? Hogwarts isn’t the only wizard school in the HP universe. They be setting black actors and actresses up doing this bs. Stop race swapping iconic characters. We’re missing out on new and original black characters. Because of lazy casting smh… Wishing nothing but the best for bruh tho.

 

[colicolicoli]

I’m a huge Potter fan and I hate this casting for every reason you said. I literally don’t understand why they picked him.

Still going to watch though.

I wonder which character will they make gay because you know it will happen.
