Stop raceswapping.
Oh wait if we make black charachters white its not okay..
Then why is this okay?
I hate america.
ITS SNAPE NOT APE!!
Can’t wait for them to tell us sectumsempra was made to represent 10 whiplashes by master
American Dumbledore black snape and they call it a faithful adaptation
Alan Rickman as Snape is perfection and no one can compare to him but good luck with that 🧐😊 John Lithgow is excellent casting as Dumbledore 😍
Woke DEI casting. Black Snape? Did they not read the books?! HBO will fail just like Disney. Sad for fans.
I'm so excited . Our whole childhood memories are coming back again…
🎠🎡🪄🧙🏻♂️👩🏼🎓📚🔮
I am not stupid enough to take this disrespect. Not goijg to watch this woke crap.
I love this new Tv Show i am so excited for it OMGGGGG
This looks good! 👍🏽
New money for old rope.
Not interested.
Im so SICK of this!! There are already SO many people of color in the source material!! Why not just have these character play bigger roles or have someone like Mad-Eye black? These lazy casting choices are SUCH a red flag that they genuinely care more about social politics than they do about the source material. Seriously done with Hollywood.
Alan Rickman is our only Snape! ❤😤
Why?
wth? as a millenial i disapprove. stop. some things need to be left alone
Well, this will be a failure. Bwahahahaha
The real message: Everything is ours and we no longer serve you, the audience. Whether you watch or not. It doesn't matter.
Why would you hire a black guy for snape when Adam Driver was BORN to play Snape.
James Potter is now a racist
And just like that the series was killed off. Never go full woke, just ask Snow White
Okay very funny HBO hahaha Pappa as Severus Snape😂😂😂😂
Just like 95% of everything else, it's a pure cash grab. There's no need to remake it so soon, and it would be better to hear a new story. But they cba. They just want easy cash, they know people will watch anyway.
Why didn't they just make a spin off series – it could have been set in a different country. It doesn't need a remake
They should remake Roots and Chris Pratt should play Kunta Kintai.
They've just announced more cast members!
Voldemort will be played by Caitlin Jenner, who is always stunning and brave.
Ron Weasley will be played by Rachel Zegler, who everyone loves.
Hermione Granger will be played by Lil Wayne.
Harry Potter will be played by Lizzo.
Ok snape is wrong. I appreciate black actors should find roles but snaps is well described in the books we all have a picture and black is too far away. Not bein racist just follow the pictures and descriptions from book. Don’t reinvent so much please
i hope harry potter won't be black 😂😂
