No longer 'in negotiations', it's official. He's cast.
HBO has chosen to subvert a great character and go with Black Snape Moan.
Bloody hell.
you should be happy, now you will have a youtube stream to E-Fap to every week about how bad the show is

I'll continue to enjoy Hogwarts: Legacy, regardless.
This news is pointless and disappointing, but I've zero interest in signing up for HBO. This tells me that the attempt to bring to screen any prequel stories were an abysmal failure, and going back to the framework of her original books is the only thing they believe will make money.

so i can put you on record as declaring this show is an abysmal failure without even watching it? i'll add it to the list of other shows you didn't watch and also thought sucked.

Knock yourself out, kiddo.
I 100% have watched more Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, Doctor Who and a other stuff before they turned trash DEI than most of your Diversity Stans ever will.
As for Potter, I read the books, saw the (original) movies.
BTW, what was your favorite part of Hogwarts Legacy?
Shove your 'but you didn't watch it' right up your arse.

People have an issue because of the vivid description provided in the book, which lends credence to his relationship with Lily Potter (unrequited love).
They could have cast a black actor in any number of important roles (Hagrid, Sirius Black). The Snape casting is a self inflicted wound.

1000% wrong.
Sorry cuz, but Amazon Prime shows and whatever the hell that Helm Hammerhand animation was doesn't count. Not Tolkien. Nothing HE wrote. Just TEMU fanfic, using his characters.

Is HBO owned by Disney? No, it's not. What started off as a discussion about Harry Potter series on HBO then pivoted to things which WOKE has made objectively worse in recent years.
Try and keep up.

haha you are at making up imaginary qualifiers to delude yourself into being right
I've watched more LOTR than you if we count the actual LOTR content that has existed and not some specific qualifier of what counts created by you so that you can say the things I watched that you didn't don't count.

You're sad. Honestly. If Tolkien wrote it, that's his work. As was the case with The Silmarillion.

No, it's not any sort of qualifier. Tolkien is the author. Not Amazon Prime, not Warner Bros, just Tolkien. Period.
As for Peter Jackson's LOTR, I own the box set. Rewatch them annually.
You're not just barking up the wrong tree, you're not even in the same forest.

and now your qualifier is only Tolkien's work counts.... but then Peter Jackson's work based on Tolkien's work counts for something because you brought up that you watch it annually, but then other work based on Tolkien's work don't count i guess because you didn't watch them. or you'll say because they arent good despite you having never seen them.

Then no one has watched ANY Tolkien.
Tolkien didn't write Rings of Power. There's no form in which his version of events remotely can be derived into book and thus screen. It simply doesn't exist.

you should be able to watch War of the Rohirrim without hating it if you actually enjoyed Tolkien's written work.
Helm Hammerhead jumped up on my list of badasses in LOTR history after watching it. worth it for that part alone.
if he had written Rings of Power they wouldn't have been able to make it. that's how the licensing agreement works. they are only allowed to fill in the blanks that Tolkien didn't write, not use anything he wrote

Spoken like the blithering shill that you are.
He was always a bad-arse. That was the point of making this story in the 1st place, but they mucked it up, predictably, because of the modern audience.
Freaking White Guys for Harris energy, on your part confirmed.

that we had never seen in action, only read about. disingenuous of you to pretend there isn't a difference.

you are losing all credibility at this point. I thought madking was bad but now i see why you won the worst poster award and there weren't even any other nominees

The problem with this casting is that Snape is supposed to look like an unattractive reject … this guy is objectively handsome and was even considered as one of the Bond hopefuls. Find me a wormy-looking, weakling black guy then we can have this discussion about race substitution. Until then, however, this is just as bad as if they had cast someone like Robert Pattinson or Orlando Bloom as Snape. Doesn’t work at all with the storyline.

He doesn’t read or watch any of this stuff which is why he’s always ignorant or wrong about the source material.
