Siena 6,412 Posted April 16, 2025 Share Posted April 16, 2025 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoMyName 2,195 Posted April 16, 2025 Share Posted April 16, 2025 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... ??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
princedeeblebleble 3,645 Posted April 16, 2025 Share Posted April 16, 2025 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. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLikeMexico 6,570 Posted April 16, 2025 Share Posted April 16, 2025 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpmMonkey 7,729 Posted April 16, 2025 Share Posted April 16, 2025 Didn't we had this discussion a few months ago already before it slipped into semi racist talking points ?

Ilia Malinin 2,879 Posted April 16, 2025 Share Posted April 16, 2025 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. everyone keeps saying "oh, he's back, he's back!" but the truth is i never left!

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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickiMinajStan 6,894 Posted April 16, 2025 Share Posted April 16, 2025 Hope it flops, not because JK Rowling is transphobic, but because I always hated the franchise and its fans HEART OF EVER-FROST Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
