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

I see no problem with this Snape was supposed to be bearded according to the books, but we got Rick Man instead, and n killed the role

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

Straw man argument. But you’re entitled to your opinion about it, it doesn’t make me money either way. I respect it. If it’s a good show it won’t matter

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

It's a retcon though, basically changes the character in a show that's supposed to maintain continuity. For a fan it looks weird and you're also missing the fact that for like almost 20 years this character was presented in a certain way on screen, for the fans it'll probably disengage them with his appearances now.

And here again, the US is playing catch-up on being fed British racial mind games.

Straw man argument.

Yall really adopted racist white people ’reverse racism’ talking points

How many different actors have we've seen play Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, hell the person that played the original Dumbledore died and they swapped him. It's a fictional character. As long as the actor portrays the original spirit of the character it doesn't matter what color he is. J.K. signed off on it so that means that she's okay with it. How are people going to tell her she's wrong when she created it lol

Yall literally pulled a reverse racism card out

Talking about black panther and storm being white

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Nah Harry P whole universe was some bloody pale nasty teeth euro white folks. They acting the fool with this one

 

[KFBF]

I want Morgan Freeman as Dumbledore

Shaq as Hagrid

Jamie Foxx as Sirius Black

Monique as Umbridge

Hakeem Potter?

 

[Bugzbunny129]

Hbo has a thing for a. Weirdo sexual situations in every show
B. Bending over backwards to fit in with the times

Yea thats not good casting. Could have easily made a new character or one not so set in stone. They want to cause controversy so people watch.

 

[Jazzy B.]

So HBO are trying to run a DISNEY OKIE DOKE to STEAL the Black Dollar?

He will ABSOLUTELY be made GAY or BISEXUAL.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Because the character is not a Black man

Just like James Bond is not a Black man

Just like T'Challa is not a white man and Storm is not a white woman

All fictional characters

so it doesn't matter

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Hamilton turned a bunch of old white politicians into black and Puerto Ricans and it got 20 tony awards. Yall care too much about white peoples opinions

HOLY shyt

That's a fantastic point.

 

[cyndaquil]

So they made Snape black and he chasing a PAWG?
Snape a JBO poster?
