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

[Geek Nasty]

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

I think its for the notoriety and free press. Like all the swirler commercials. They get some people riled up which is free advertising.

Enjoy your future gay white Black Panther who is from South Africa so it's ok right?

I mean he'd be African right?

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.

Grow up and read other literature!

Shows do this to generate controversy and buzz.

Also, you are all grown. Harry Potter is for children.

I seem to remember the books and movie growing in maturity and adult themes as the audience and actors aged in real time.
The first movie was for kids, and the final one was definitely not just for kids.

Reminds me of when people try to say Star Wars is for little kids. The first two movies were clearly targeting a teen to 20 something audience at first.
They didn't start angling for kids until they introduced Ewoks and podracing in the third and fourth movie. So is it really for kids or just co-opted to be for kids after it become successful? Either way both cases show that clearly the target audience can change.

If you reach any further you might as well call yourself Reed Richards but just say you're ok with race and gender swapping pandering and go

It's almost like you just did a rudimentary Google search and didn't when take the time to view specifics

 

[Ziggiy]

Making the black man the simping, greasy, abusive, RACIST is bullshyt.

 

[KidJSoul]

you think he doesn’t know what he’s signing up for?

I'm talking about how the studio handles the criticism

 

[Jaguar93]

The Storms and Black Panthers can totally be a different race. They’re fictional characters after all lol. Lazy casting is lazy casting.
