The actress who plays Hermione isn't black.
How do you know? All I can find about her is she's "multiracial."
Doesn't really matter overall. She seems to fit the role fine. The Snape change is unforgiveable and changes the story and characters immensely and unnecessarily.

She’s multi-racial, but maybe she identifies as being black? The stage version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child featured a black Hermoine, so I sort of expected them to cast a non-white actor in the role. I don’t know about the new cast being more age-appropriate though, considering that Emma Watson was only 10 years old in the first Harry Potter film. Arabella Stanton is 12.

She just turned 12 lol. And they’re currently filming Chamber of Secrets. Their ages SHOULD line up well with the pace they’re on but I wonder if they’ll take a break after Chamber or if they’ll take a short break after Prisoner. I’m sure they’ll slow down after Prisoner since they’ll want to examine the numbers on Stone and Chamber before ordering Goblet and the rest of the series.
Especially Goblet considering the sheer amount of $$$ they’ll need for the cast, which expands considerably, plus the visuals for the World Cup, 3 Tasks and Voldy’s return. They’re not letting them film that one if the numbers aren’t where they want them.
ETA: I think they’ll film Prisoner pretty close to Chamber then take 9-10 months off and film Goblet and Order pretty close. Take a break. Then film HBP and DH close.

Honestly, I think by the time we get to that point in the story where Snape’s real relationship with James is shown—Essiedu will *be* Snape in most people’s minds. That’s at least 4 years away.
Look I don’t like the casting either. But I haven’t seen a single thing (other than that) that indicates this will be anything other than incredibly well done. Everything they have released or announced has been pretty great, with a lot of emphasis on book material/details.
I trust HBO. If this were Disney I’d be more skeptical.

HBO, baw. It’ll be weekly I’m sure, they don’t usually dump full seasons. Perhaps/hopefully they release the first two episodes together so we get to Hogwarts and the sorting on Xmas day.

This will be a shadow over the entire show until we see how it's done.

Yeah I think if they were to ever break the tradition they would for HP and drop episodes 1 and 2.
Episode 1 most certainly ends with Harry on the train or going to platform 9 3/4

Now Hermione is black and, well, it kind of muddies the dynamic...no pun intended.
I don’t think Hermione’s race really changes anything. She is clearly bullied be cause she was born to non-magic folk
Snape’s does. He’s partially bullied because of the way he looks.
Fwiw, I’m still incredibly excited. One casting decision I don’t love isn’t gonna prevent me from watching it. Hopefully it all works out great!

It is the one character that you can't really change.
Here's a black guy explaining why black Snape is bad.
Facebook link, sorry.
Basically Harry not trusting Snape. Hating him. His dad picking on him for being different makes it about race and not just being an odd guy.

People aren't allowed to dislike people of different races without being racist? thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
If a teacher is constantly bullying a child, and deducting points from their house cup for bullshite reasons, and is caught having shady conversations (such as Snape with Professor Quirrell in book 1) and therefore the child then doesn't like him, it doesn't mean the child is racist.
Whoever told you you have to like everyone that isn't white if you are white gave you some terrible woke propaganda. You're a fool for believing it.

That's the part they'll have to change. A student not liking a teacher who's a dick is fine, but I don't think they'll have James dangling Black Snape by his ankles as everybody looks on and laughs. I could be wrong.
It's fiction, they can make it work, but why? Is it going to be a better story because they race-swapped a main character who's explicitly described as white? Just come out and admit you did it to be provocative and get people talking.

One can only hope we get peeves as well. I’m a massive HP nerd so I’ll try and read all of them again before December.

Im gonna at least reread book 1. A year between seasons i feel like we should wait to reread book 2

Yeah, nobody ever gets accused of racism here because they criticize a black actor or writer.

I have no investment in HP or this series but it's fascinating to me how it's causing elements of woke on both polls to melt.
I hope it's highly successful with the middle as a rebuke to both.

I don’t think criticizing an objectively strange casting choice is melting. It has people talking, and that’s their only logical goal. It may or may not end up working but right now it’s generating buzz.
