Siena 6,281 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) the only reason I have a problem w this is it has the potential to totally change the narrative. Are James and Sirius now racists? I mean they hung him upside down from a tree…will they just get rid of that scene? also paapa essiedu is a very attractive man and Snape is absolutely not lmao Edited April 16 by Siena 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoMyName 899 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 What i'm not getting about this is that when the series was announced the big focus was that it would be faithful to the books.. so... ??? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
princedeeblebleble 1,876 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Honestly, if they want a diverse cast and an emphasis on modern moralities and points of view, create a new movie/show/whatever. I'm so tired of remakes that totally changes the original. Like is it so hard to create something new? These people get paid to make new material, yet they just constantly recycle old **** over and over and over again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Adam Driver would want nothing to do with a show that would have him commit a decade of his life and career. And the same goes to all the high-profile casting candidates people like throwing around when it comes to this show. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLikeMexico 5,248 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 If he’s a great actor and he delivers on the role, then who cares. I don’t know why people are making such a big fuss. Just say you’re racist and move on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpmMonkey 6,070 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Didn't we had this discussion a few months ago already before it slipped into semi racist talking points ? Do have to do this again 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilia Malinin 1,692 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 as someone who grew up with harry potter, related HEAVILY to the main character due to similar circumstances growing up, and found out i was ftm trans, i literally do not give a sh*t about that woman's IP anymore. good on the casting directors for trying to be diverse, though. do you guys mind if i scream about the olympics 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still amazed they were able to do the film franchise without any major hiccups. A movie-making miracle. It won't be the same without John Williams' music. But Lithgow & McTeer are pretty exciting imo Is john Williams out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickiMinajStan 6,893 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hope it flops, not because JK Rowling is transphobic, but because I always hated the franchise and its fans HEART OF EVER-FROST 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
