I don’t care who plays what as long as they do a good job portraying the character. I actually think James Potter should be black, and Lily white, making Harry a biracial kid. That would be amazing. Would also solve the problem some people have with Snape being black and the bullying that went on with the Marauders.
Stop taking well-loved franchise and destroying them. So, let’s take a look on how this has worked out. Star Wars: Destroyed, Star Trek: Destroyed, Lord of The Rings: Destroys, All of Disney: Destroyed, Marvel: Destroyed, Docter Who: destroyed, My god the killed Scooby Doo. So now Harry Potter. How and who put the people in charge. Just keep pissing off the Families and fans who PAY money. Well Im out. Im sure some 1% person will react ” Don’t watch” or my favorite your just toxic. No not toxic just love these franchises and this is not needed in them. Want to make a move or show great go for it. You know it won’t work so you put it in BELOVED francizes and piss the real fans off. Can’t wait to watch the real Harry Potters instead of this crap.
It’s not about race Johnny….. It’s about remaking a classic franchise that should have been left alone.
But by all means, Johnny…..you can make it about race if you want. But, that said, I have this strange feeling that if it were a black character changed into a white or asian character, you’d be screaming and pouting and crying “its not fair”…..
Old Disney, this message is for you.
Why are you so pissed off with change. People like you who scream and shout about a character’s skin color or ethnicity is seeing the world thru a tunnel, which is what you’re doing.
Remember characters like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and so many others are fantasy characters; aka Not Real.
Inputting actors of various backgrounds brings diversity to these stories.
One more thing, I sincerely doubt the creator of the Harry Potter TV or Lord of the Rings TV series would miss you as a fan.
Ok there…Johnny…..perhaps YOU had better look in the mirror, Johnny, for making everything about race, Johnny. You a racist, Johnny????? You sound like one, Johnny.
Not about race. Its about change. If a character in the movie was black or asian or whatever, they should stay the same in the remake. Why change all this? It was great casting how it was!
hahaha Jon not going to work. How many things have to get destroyed Man, Scooby Doo even was embarrassed. I don’t know why you don’t get it. These are well loved characters not to be changed. So here is another thought. You would think that people of color would be pissed they keep getting seconds. Why can’t a person of color have an original character. Probably because it wouldn’t make any money and they try to stick it into a beloved franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, Lord of the Rings ect…. Everyone lost money. Now it just sad and completely forced. By doing this you are not helping people of color. It just pisses people off more and more.
Goes to show how much Hollywood hates white/Caucasian people. They’ll happily swap a white for a black or another nationality but if they swapped for a white person that would be considered racist.
They should stick to the original movies and stop changing characters sex or color. To fill the great Alan Rickman’s characters They need to choose a better actor and one not of color. Keep his legend alive, not disrespect it.
I’m pretty Alan Rickman would think you were a bit of a bigoty thinker: You think that hiring a talented actor who happens to be black is disrespectful to Rickman’s legacy. Just cut to the chase and admit you hate black people.
I think you see racism in every comment. You sound like the Democrats and Media personalities whose favorite phrase is “racist dog whistle”.
My only problem is that all too often they choose a person of different color, sex, or gender identification strictly for the sake of doing so. All too often that actor doesn’t have what it takes to hold up to the performance of the previous actor that made the character an icon in the first place.
This also leads to the question of, “If you can’t make a movie/tv show. play. etc. of the same quality of writing and performance as the well known original, why are you making it in the first place?”
“I don’t have the power to sack an actor from the series and I wouldn’t exercise it if I did. I don’t believe in taking away people’s jobs or livelihoods because they hold legally protected beliefs that differ from mine.”
Read that again, ” I don’t believe in taking away people’s jobs or livelihoods because they hold legally protected beliefs that differ from mine.”
Something that has not been considered by the critics of her at any time. They all want her canceled and unemployed.
And on the flip side, we have people that can’t stand that Hermione could be something other than white, even though the creator of the character says that her race was NEVER specified in her works.
Katherine if you think that the guy they our casting he’s getting the job just because he’s the best you’re on crack. They are fictional characters, but they are fictional characters. People grew up with and have major connections with and you don’t change characters with major connections or who are phenomenal. Your virtue signaling is pathetic. Also, you would think that people of color would be p***** off that they’re always getting the seconds. Come up with an original character and good luck playing it and seeing if people will fall in love with it, just like all the ones that they are trying to take. It’s because they know that people love the franchises. And every single franchise that has done, this has lost all the money that they could possibly lose. Not one movie that has done this or franchise. That has done This has made any money. Go in and look up and know your facts.Stop virtue signaling.
I don’t really care what actors look like, but once a sex / color have been chosen, I think it’s best to choose replacements that resemble the original ones as closely as possible.

Who cares what color she is, as long as she’s a good actor?

People who complain about “changing the franchise” only seem to complain when a character becomes black. Can we be a little self-reflective?

Harry Potter fan just like it is
I agree with everything you said. And can we just stop with this “trans thing” Good God, stop catering to these mixed up individuals.
old Disney
Make an original movie with this crap in it and stop ruining established and love franchises. They do this because they know it has no chance.
john
For you “this crap” = black people. Look in the mirror there Snow Whitey
Marie

Your hatred for diversity is daunting. Why do you care Old Disney??!! You’re not writing nor creating anything. You’re just complaining.

Stop changing sex color or sexuality of an established icon. If you want something different create something different.

Another bigoted person trying to turn the tables and claim that some imagined group of people are the real racists. But, sorry, it is you.
Katherine Marsh
Seriously this is what you going with? Hollywood hates white/Caucasian people. WOW
Missy
I guess it really depends on who gives the best audition…
Andrea
They should stick to the original movies and stop changing characters sex or color. To fill the great Alan Rickman’s characters They need to choose a better actor and one not of color. Keep his legend alive, not disrespect it.

They did choose the best actor, Paapa Essiedu, who just happens to be a British. Awesome!!

Her opinions cause people harm but have fun

I think Hermione Granger would be portrayed by the actor who is most talented and fits into what the author and creator of this series is looking for.
