Just saw the announcement of some of the official cast of HBO Harry Potter series and I’m so…concerned? Angry? Worried? Disappointed?
It’s so hard to describe cause it’s not bad but it’s not good???
I think the one that’s really the worse is a black guy playing Severus Snape. They really just made the Marauders have a racist undertone. Like they weren’t extreme good people to begin with (they changed) but now it’s just even WORSE. Because they do tease Snape on his appearance and now that he’s black…just no. Absolutely not.
But I do lowkey fuck with the guy who is supposed to play Quirrell. Lowkey looks like the original.
Also who THE FUCK are these actors? I feel so bad cause I never heard of them until this.
And and SHOW ME MY HARRY, RON, AND HERMONIE. I remember seeing something about them but is that like official?
Idk I’m still rooting for this series to show more stuff than they did in the movie but the casting is just not it rn. I’ll need to see a trailer to get a good feel tbh.
Okay lowkey seems like some people are confused so let set the record straight. I like Snape. Do I agree with what happened to him? No no I do not. But there will now be a racists undertone in Harry Potter. Maybe me saying “with the Marauders” threw people off. But it’s true. It will be there but it will also be there with the franchise as a whole. And that’s something that needs to be addressed. Race CAN change a characters arc and some SOME people need to also understand that. I can not stress enough how I feel about this situation but please don’t downplay the way I feel based on the way others feel. That makes you the part of the problem as well.
