I could actually see her being Asian. But she will most likely be black, yes.

So they are just re-doing the books that have already been made into movies?

Seems like a gigantic waste of time.

100% they’ll try to rub the casting in JKR’s face.

There's plenty of stuff from the books that were left off the films.

She's black in the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stage play, so that's the direction they will go.

Will they all be white ? What does the board think? Does it get “reimagined” for a more modern take ?


if they want a successful show, they will. If they make any of the three black, it will ruin the show for most people

This is just yet another big revenue stream. It's hard to be very enthusiastic while knowing that.

They might just doom this before they start filming.

So they're willing to cast a double amputee in the lead role? Interesting...
