    HBO could really care less what the fans want

      You got that right.

    I seriously thought they did the right thing and recast the black Snape with a white person. They were teasing us with this art icle 😡

      I love it when racist people out themselves

        you needn’t worry. one of the most selfish and vengeance filled characters in the story will still be portrayed by a person of African descent.

        you may ask yourself, why did the show runners choose such a character as Snape to be the POC in a major role? why not Hermione? why not one of the other professors that didn’t have such a dark past, and questionable intentions? and most importantly, why only one?

        Like yourself, April?

        We don’t care.

    No you didn’t. All you did was cast some voice actor. You didn’t listen to the fans and recast the DEI snape. Quit sacrificing source material for your dumb racist politics and cast people according to the books like normal people!

      Bad call to make Sn ape black. All of a sudden he just changes race? Stop being woke and stick to what we know and love. That’s not being rascist, it’s just right.

    You didn’t recast the right one, dumb dumb

    I am so sick of Hollyweird trying to prove that blacks are superior to whites by raceswapping and gaslighting us into thinking blacks were Germans, Norse Vikings, Canadians, Greeks and everything else all over the world a hundred years ago and older. To heck with the books or stories that’s been handed down for generations, they gotta push that message and call us -iscts, -iots and -phobics when we do not believe their utter nonsense! When Hollyweird does an African movie oh they make sure it’s as accurate as possible! No diversity there or it’s raycist! But European stuff…no way, it’s gotta be diverse! See how that works?!

    1. Oh really

      Exactly. Race swapping should work both ways. Or not al all.

    2. Walt

      Disney did the same thing with Lion King on Broadyway – no whites need to try out. Damn white people.

    3. RichD1982

      Exactly!!

      Imagine the leftist outrage if a black character is replaced by a White actor?

      I know, redo the Black Panther movies with an all White cast!
