@Walmser @RoncoJollyHen @DanFriedman81 No the fan base would disagree with the creative decision made.

Harry Potter is gonna be the biggest show on TV for a decade. It is going to make David Ellison all his money back.
You have no idea how many people love Harry Potter and don’t pay attention to the discourse.
Most people are going to be confused by black Snape, but they’ll just roll with it.

I give it to season 3 until an HBO rep puts out the “we’re incredibly proud to have brought this magical world to life, but…” statement confirming there won’t be a Goblet of Fire

@HPotterUniverse People crying about the dark colours are the same people who say their favourite is Azkaban because it’s dark and gritty.

@hazarddd33 @TendGSW @FlintBilly2255 @GreatBritishMC Ah so only the women who are in unhealthy unstable relationships pick up the phone when cheating. Everyone else in healthy and stable relationships just cheat without picking up the phone.
English

@Walmser @TendGSW @FlintBilly2255 @GreatBritishMC Definitely not , some people could have the world infront of them and still act a scumbag it is what it is

@TendGSW @FlintBilly2255 @GreatBritishMC Mate no woman who’s in a healthy stable relationship is picking up the phone whilst cheating

@LaurentsGhost @TwinkTheory @staggeredfawn Not to be a nerd but he’s decreed from the Pravells the 3 men in the Deathly Hollows the invisible cloak is a family gift it’s generational wealth from James family.

How did Harry potters parents have all that cash for his trust fund? They died at 21 and the only jobs in the wizarding world are civil servant, barmaid, teacher or shop owner. Or is it just like magic? And if so how are the Weasleys poor like how far does magic go? Are they just bad at magic?

@BigB__9332 @RoncoJollyHen @DanFriedman81 A Biopic compared to a literal fictional magical wonderland. Nice.

@RoncoJollyHen @DanFriedman81 I don’t really understand the argument that if they make a movie about Trump that the actor who plays him can’t be black

@whereschavo394 @RoncoJollyHen @DanFriedman81 What would happen if Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne were black? Does the world end?
English

@RoncoJollyHen @DanFriedman81 Its like making Clark Kent black.
Or Bruce Wayne.
When people read a book and characters are described to them. People create a mental image of what that character looks like.
Alan Rickman fulfilled the character of snape for everyone.
This new actor is not Snape
English

@PeterClarkeHH @uclfantasypod @fantasyfooty None of these people have even read the books, they’re annoyed for the sake of being annoyed
English

@uclfantasypod @fantasyfooty Blaise Zabini was a black Slytherin so I think you’ll find it’s purely about about magical blood in the context of the books

I'm not against Snape being black in the new Harry Potter series. I'm not against it on principle.
There are obviously some pretty awful things and memes being said/shared that are clearly just racist. But it isn't necessarily racist to be a bit annoyed the character has been changed from the book's description, because his appearance carries meaning.
1. Snape is specifically and deliberately described as having "sallow skin" and being "pale." It mirrors the same pale complexion Voldemort has, which is partly why Snape always feels suspicious. They're designed as visual inversions of each other: Snape has a big hooked nose, Voldemort has a flat snakelike one. The whole point of Snape is that he LOOKS like the villain. Everything about his physical description screams untrustworthy. That's Rowling's deliberate misdirection, teaching readers not to judge by appearances. Change the appearance, you risk losing the power of that twist.
2. There's also an irony nobody seems to be talking about. By making Snape the suspicious, untrustworthy, seemingly villainous character AND the only prominent black actor in the cast, you've actually created the exact optics you were presumably trying to avoid. The one black guy is the one everyone's supposed to distrust? How is that progressive?
3. People are making a false equivalence with Hermione being black in the Cursed Child. That's completely fine because the books never say she's white in the text, and it doesn't affect her story either way. Snape's appearance is different. It's written into the plot.
4. The writers now have a real issue down the line. How are they going to portray Snape being bullied when younger? How are they going to portray James Potter suspending Snape upside down with Levicorpus? Surely they aren't going to force racist undertones onto Lupin, Potter, Black and Pettigrew? PLEASE do not turn this into some politically driven TV series where the Marauders' cruelty becomes a racial storyline. That would ruin both Snape AND James.

First look at Paapa Essiedu as Snape in the 'Harry Potter' series
English

Anyone defending—or calling fans racist over questioning—the casting choice for Snape, is also completely, and logically okay remaking Black Panther as a White man
I think that's wrong
"Snape’s face was like a death mask. It was marble white"
Snape's sallow skin had gone the color of sour milk
"Snape's pale, pointed face"
"Snape's face was pale and clammy"

@zulfakoshka @grok @Kim16725424 @Jvnior @karl_mulligan3 The US uses its veto power to block any action against them.

@grok @Kim16725424 @Jvnior @karl_mulligan3 So it’s true that israel tortured and abuse children. Why UN doesn’t do anything about that @grok ?

@SouleFacts @elonmusk The man will be locked up, probably for the rest of his life, in a psychiatric ward with less freedom than he would have in prison. People see the tag line and think he’s back on the street the next day 😆
English

@elonmusk You spelled it too politely. This isn’t just injustice. This is a complete collapse of moral order disguised as a legal system. A bird gets more justice than a mother and her unborn child. America needs to wake up.

@guysieb @dpaudits @YoungBobRB No one cares because it’s boring now the same old racism get out clause thanks for not following me anymore feel safe now!!

These lefties when they have no debate always resort back to name calling and ad hominem attacks, @billymooreAPBD @YoungBobRB

@PotnoodIefringe For people so against ‘lefties’ and ‘wokeness’ theyre pretty quick to be offended by words
English

@YoungBobRB Another guy who brings up per capita stabbings like the US doesnt have more stabbings, per capita, than the UK does anyway. And that’s with guns to ‘protect’ themselves.

@PatriotBulldog4 @LongTimeHistory The opposite of being peaceful is approaching someone holding a pistol, unarmed? America.
English

@LongTimeHistory They were coming up on him then he drew his pistol and still kept approaching. What is peaceful about this?
English

MAGA man dressed like ICE points gun—repeatedly at peaceful protesters.
He walks backwards and trips—with his finger on the trigger aimed at crowd.
Then carelessly puts it in pants pocket—not a holster.
Police cars drive by but don't even stop—as witnesses yell, "Do your job!"
"Go get the guy who pulled a gun out on people! Do your job Portland Police!"
The incident occurred outside the Portland ICE facility in South Portland, Oregon. #DemsUnited

NETANYAHU: "If anyone needed an explanation of why Iran is the enemy of civilization, and the enemy and the danger to the entire world, you got it in the last 48 hours. They fired a terror weapon on civilians; on children!"
By these standards, Israel is the ULTIMATE ENEMY of civilization: 50,000+ kids killed in Gaza, refugee tents bombed, and babies frozen to death under siege.
Iran hits back once and suddenly it’s horror, while Gaza’s kids were “just collateral?” Give me a f*cking break.
This is a pure evil double standard and should open the eyes of even the last one of you.
