HBO is circling British actor Paapa Essiedu to play one of the hottest TV roles being cast this year.

The I May Destroy You actor is up for the role of Professor Severus Snape in HBO’s Harry Potter TV series, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Sources say the actor has been offered the part although it is not clear if negotiations have begun in earnest.

Snape is the wickedly smart and casually cruel Hogwarts potions master who comes across as the story’s primary antagonist in the show’s first season, which will be based upon author J.K. Rowling‘s 1997 debut novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The role was famously played by the late Alan Rickman across eight Warner Bros. films.

It’s perfect. The hooked nose, sallow skin, and greasy long hair. Just as I imagined him.

Dumbledore will be gay. Intersectionality is more important than storytelling.

Isn’t he already? I’m not up to date on Harry Potter lore but I’m pretty sure that one of the big things JK dropped after the movies ended

You’d think they’d learn something from Disney and Amazon

People seem to forget that before Rowling started speaking out against the trans agenda she was/is pretty damn woke herself, especially when it comes to race and gay shite, she just doesn't like the trans stuff as she views it as anti-feminist.

Hogwarts this time around is going to look like modern day London does. This will be the first of MANY race swaps.

I called it in another thread, not only will Hermione be black but pretty much all the major professors were white so they were going to make one or more of them black as well.

Uh wasn’t I literally responding to a post talking about that? yall can’t be consistent for shite

Anyways as far as this goes I’m pretty unsure about it. HBO has a solid record but I’m not a fan of the idea of remaking a story that was just told like a decade ago.

I knew it would be a black actor before I scrolled down to the pic, but thought they’d be female or trans.
