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

Feel free to list Hagrids description from the books and Snapes description of the books and explain how, unless they use prosthetics and make up or make ol boy look like he has Jerry Curl, how this brother will look anything remotely like Snape.

Hagrid is described as big and hairy with a beard.

I don't recall his skin color being described or any other characteristics beyond that.

The books aren’t sacred tomes, they’re children novels and the books author is working on the show

Grow up and read other literature

I have a small library of books in my home, olodo.

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

No nikka. We don't want this shyt.
Give Dean Thomas a mini series if that's the case. Or any black character they already got.
I'm not even sure if there are Black Death Eaters.
Thinly veiled Klan activity really.

The reason I don’t take yall seriously, is because the minute there’s a popular black story and some execs decided to change the character to a cac, it’d be WW3

I don’t particularly care, it’s curious when execs decide to this though. I’d love if black actors got their own unique characters way more than shoehorning them into established roles but that’s my opinion

I feel the exact same.

Plus they missed an easy layup putting Loki in this role. Dude is literally a young Alan Rickman and critically acclaimed actor in his own right.


Plus i thought race swapping was for reboots and remakes. Not sequels and prequals. So in canon Snape was black when he was young and then turned white as an adult? Doesn't make sense.
Nick Fury wasn't ever white in the MCU. he started out black.

Yall hoes in here crying about Harry Potter

I've been completely put off from watching the series now

This guy playing Snape. Just fukk off!

Thinking like that is stupid. Why not go all out then. Make lara croft a bbw bulldyke.

Make harry potter a midget with pink hair. Its fictional right.

Just respect the source material. I wonder how many nighas would be upset shaft being played by a gay white man …

Again, who fukking cares?

If the character’s story is not attached to their appearance…who gives a fukk? Let the best actor get the job. Anything else is Didn’t Earn It.

Breh talking about “Just respect the source material” like the shyt is real.

This thread a white boy nerd dog whistle.


fukk a corny ass Harry Potter. Let that Black man eat. Hopefully that JK lady involved and it won't be the typical Hollywood stereotype of the Black characters being zesty ass gay sidekicks.

 

[Mugenight]

Man........Hell naw.

 

[Space Cowboy]

It’s fictional.

The breh was clearly the most qualified actor.

You wanna give it to a white actor just because? That would be Didn’t Earn It.

Shut the fukk up, this shyt stupid as hell.

It’s almost as if white people and black people are treated differently in the western world

yes, we have the right to be mad if our handful popular black characters in pop culture are white washed
