@SwuishyTofu @HBO Now everyone feeling unhappy about this change will be automatically called a racist. This idea alone is sickening for what needs to be an escapism and fun series to enjoy
English
As fans become ever more excited about the release of @HBO’s HP series, we ask that those behind the casting at @HBO reconsider their choice of Paapa Essiedu as Snape.
Essiedu doesn’t match the physical canonical description for Snape, altering how characters will be perceived.
Hogwarts Files@HogwartsFiles
This shot looks good—but all that attention to detail risks going down the drain with Essiedu as Snape. Severus Snape, as written in the original books, is unmistakable: a gaunt, sallow-skinned man with a marble white face, skin the colour of sour milk, a hooked nose, greasy shoulder-length black hair, and cold, penetrating black eyes that give him a perpetually bat-like, shadowy presence. His very appearance is meant to evoke unease—someone who seems to glide rather than walk, wrapped in billowing black robes, embodying bitterness, austerity, and an almost gothic severity. Snape isn’t just any character—his physicality is deeply tied to his personality and narrative weight. He is described as pallid, withdrawn, and emotionally guarded, with a sharp, intimidating demeanor that reflects years of inner conflict, resentment, and secrecy. Every detail, from his hooked nose to his curt expressions, contributes to the way students fear him and the way readers perceive him as morally ambiguous. @HBO @wbd @StreamOnMax @jk_rowling @Caseybloys — if Essiedu is indeed part of the show, hopefully you’ve taken fans’ concerns seriously and considered placing him in a different role. Snape is too iconic, too precisely described, and too central to reinterpret without losing something fundamental. Fans aren’t asking for perfection—we’re asking for fidelity to the character as written. Please #recastsnape with an actor who more accurately reflects the original depiction from the #HarryPotter books.

@SwuishyTofu @HBO I hope they will reconsider this as it will cause problems such as racism discussions and unnecessary replacing established characters

@ElenaEliseeva7 It’s not the best decision for the series to put in DEI politics, let’s keep it at that

@branfan91 The kids look so sweet ngl. I hope black Snape will not do bad things to them
English
And just FYI DO NOT ATTACK these kids...they are kids. The adult actors have proven they onow better though than to associate with Rowlings bigotry so have at there

Even aside from the obvious, no effort has been taken to make him look like Snape.
The rest of the trailer looks great but I wouldn't recognise this to be a man playing Snape if I were at a comic-con event.

These are real screenshots from the new Harry Potter trailer.
Whoever made this sort of dark-on-black-at-night cinematography style popular at HBO needs to be deported immediately. This is unwatchable. I literally cannot watch it. I cannot see what’s happening.

I confess I'm shy to admit it, but... I liked his characterization, I loved it. It's exactly how I imagined him. Much better than the unflattering pictures people create. That's all I'm going to say about it.
I sincerely hope he does justice to the character. Good luck, Paapa!

@IGN yeah lets just swap the characters race and call people racist who complain, its getting old already
