Great casting.

[Barry.]

I don’t see how it will work if they take years to film it. They will all be too tall, voice broken etc. They look fine though I just hope it doesn’t take them two years each time for a series

I think the first two series are being filmed back to back.

Are you suggesting JK Rowling made racial exclusive characters??!

Wow

I copied that off the web. JK said she didn’t give her a colour in the book so it’s up to the reader to say if she’s black or white. So not really woke

The same woman in your profile picture….

Harry and Ron are bang on imo.

I'm not too sure about Hermione due to JK Rowling not really being really sure what her own character is even meant to look like.

32,000 children auditioned for the three roles

I don't know why people are so upset about it, her race is irrelevant to the story and by all accounts is never mentioned in the books. Also its not unusual for book characters to look a bit different to how they're described in the books. The worst one I can think of is when Tom Cruise was cast to play Jack Reacher, who was described in the book as a "man mountain"

I think that some people are on high alert because there has been a lot of race swapping in Media over recent years.

Tbh I'm amazed that Ron is still going to be Ginger.

It just makes absolutely no difference at all to the story so it's a stupid complaint imo

Yeah I don't think that the Hermione one is that big of a deal tbh.

I do think that Snape is an odd race swap though imo.

Again it doesn't actually make a difference to the story however I think people will have a hard time with any new Snape, Alan Rickman was just so iconic as him.

I saw a comment that said their names sound more wizardly than their characters

Apparently Arabella Stanton was Matilda in the West End/on tour, and she's a Hermionesque character ... raised by a Dursleyese family!

[Vicky.]

Looks good. Iirc the only physical description of Hermione was she had dark bushy hair..bren a while since I read them tho

[Niamh.]

Oh OK, they seem like good points

[Glenn.]

They bullied him because he was bookish and nerdy.

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

Let’s hope this lot are not entitled little woke mind virus brats like their predecessors

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!

I already made that point and got an infraction for being racist

in a fictional supernatural kids story...
