Exactly but the optics of having four white characters ganging up and harassing a black character for being "bookish and nerdy" is going to be an issue unless handled very, very carefully. Not for a decade or more to be fair... it doesn't really come into it until book 6-of-7.

Casting hasn’t been confirmed for the four of them yet.

I’m imagining a black actor will play the role of Remus Lupin or Wormtail.

People are too hung up on this because a black man is playing a character that was previously played by a white man.

It’s a reimagining of a movies series, (that people can still watch and enjoy) changes are going to be made. Christ I’ve even seen people moaning about the set for Privet Drive.

When I saw Cursed child on the west end Hagrid was black and no one cared, so I don’t see why people are complaining Snape is black. I mean Alan Rickman won’t be beaten but come on now

The chances of all four Marauders being white are pretty slim, tbh.

It will be interesting when Draco calls Hermione a "Mudblood", and when everyone makes fun of her for protesting the slavery of House Elves!

You’re thinking about this way too deeply. It’s not that deep.
