>Kingsley Shacklebolt how come loonies hadn't thrown a hissy fit about this?
>>223045151I don’t get it?
>>223045179of course you don't
MUGGLES could be here
>>223045151>why are you upset about the black character being blackgosh, golly fucking gee, i wonder why
I never had a melanin rich teacher ama
>>223045294we're going to make a white wakanda, call it rhodesia
>>223045294never said that you loonyare you a bot? reply to me with my post number and detract hundred thousand from it
>>223045107>harry's gonna squint and give dirty looks at snape for 6 seasons ok sorry this is now based casting
>>223045339minus 1000 would be 223044339. also that was a typo i meant to type>why arent you upset about the black character being blacktongue my anus
>>223045371>>why arent you upset about the black character being blackI'm not, I was just wondering about loonies' hypocrisy. you might not be the intended audience but you are certainly a part of it
Reminder that in the books there's a flashback scene where Harry's dad is bullying Snape, Lily asks him why, and James says>It's just the fact that *exists*, if you know what I meanThen he hangs Snape upside down under a tree. Also on a related note, they're going to have to make one of the Marauders black, right? Assuming the show even makes it Book 3, the optics of a gang of white kids tormenting a black student in front of his white crush are probably going to be too much for HBO. And by process of elimination, it has to be Lupin, which is has even funnier implications (Lupin being poor, poorly-dressed, and turns uncontrollably into a monster once a month).
Hagrid, there's something about Professor Snape. It may be the color of his skin or his hair, IDK
>The scene from Snape's memories where Petunia despises him for no apparent reason>The Weasleys constantly shit-talking Snape's appearance>Neville's GREATEST FEAR is a black man
>>223045472>by process of elimination, it has to be Lupin, which is has even funnier implicationslooking forward to season 3 just because of this but how did you eliminate sirius and peter from being the token POC casting? obviously james has to be white because of harry
>>223045107They should have thought better before making Snape black.
>>223045107Imagine how much they must be regretting casting nigga Snape when everything else about the new production looks either passable or even good (yes, even Jeetmione, all things considered, although if she were the only raceswap she'd stick out more). Not even the redditors were able to praise that casting because literally everyone knows that's not Snape. What on earth were they thinking? They could've swapped almost anyone else with less issues than Snape.
>>223045472>Assuming the show even makes it Book 3>>223045786>looking forward to season 3they mention the incident in prisoner of azkaban, but the actual flashback wont be until order of the phoenix when harry is using that memory bowl thing with dumbledore
>>223045107A very American-coded way of thinking. JKR was never afraid of bonnet wearing sheboons nor did her parents ever lynch any black people. When British people think of black people they have the Windrush generation in mind. Mostly people from the Caribbean that weren't known for home invasions or drive by shootings.
>Snape could be anywhere
>>223045107why is there only one black teacher
>>223045107Professor why do goblins keep portraying wizards as lesser species? I thought they were our allies?
>>223045472>Lupindid she use this name because of the book Arsene Lupin? if yes then why is he not french or half french?
>>223046892Black McGonagall would’ve been the call, if you HAD to negrify somebody.Present all throughout the story, generally pretty cool and respectable, but not so crucial that it would make anybody mad. Black Dumbledore or Hagrid would’ve absolutely tanked the production. Black Cedric would be hilarious for the cuck memes.
>>223047120Lupus means wolf in Latin
>>223047172
>>223045472>>223045674
>>223047160this would've been a good middle ground. McGonagall is also known to be wildly fucking competent and even has a girlboss moment which they could add a POCboss moment to when she confronts Snape and two death eaters on her own near the end of Half-Blood Prince
>>223045472so Snape's father is white and the mum will be a nonwand nig?
>>223047038Will they be able to cast anyone with his level of aura in 2026?https://youtu.be/OD-C7yeNV64
>>223045313>amathat's pretty normal in many countries
>>223045472In the same memory Snape calls Lilly a mudblood, I'm certain it won't happen in the show, he'll call her a bitch at best.
>>223047160>black Hagridunironically second best choice
>>223045371>detract hundred thousand>detracts one thousandretardbro...
>>223047694but his father never left him it was the mum

>>223045786Sirius' name is Black and Peter is evil.
>>223045294Fictional characters btwThe comics were made in a time the majority of media consumers were white, they were made by white people for white kids Nowadays a good chunk of the media consumers is non white and they need to see themselves in the media, it’s simple as that
>>223045786A black man playing Sirius Black from the Black family
>>223048158Could they perhaps make their own media?
>>223048163https://youtu.be/aNNIz6ub80s?t=13Remarkable people...
>>223048158Ok but I don't have to watch it and can mock it.
>>223048158>a good chunk of the media consumers is non white and they need to see themselves in the mediahow come they cant make their own media?
>>223045786>obviously james has to be white because of harryYou can accept a universe with magic, dragons, paintings that move and giant spiders but you can't accept that James and Lily aren't the same ethnicity as their biological song Harry?
>>223048445as a racist, yes i can do that
>>223045786>but how did you eliminate sirius and peter from being the token POC casting?Peter is evil. Sirius Black is named Sirius Black. And more importantly, Bellatrix and Narcissa are both from the Black family*. Narcissa can't be black because Draco is white. Bellatrix could be black I guess, but you'd be making the most unhinged evil racist character in the setting a black woman which loops us back around to the Peter issue. It has to be Lupin. And on top of that, Molly Weasley is Narcissa's cousin. Wizards are super inbred. Point is that if Sirius Black is seriously black, it creates an absurd domino affect where like half the named characters in the cast now also have to be black.
>>223045107>Dumbledore keeps rejecting Snape’s application to the Defense Against the Dark Arts jobSuddenly based
>>223047172>Guy named "Remus Lupin" became a werewolf>The only other named werewolf in the story is "Fenrir Greyback"Maybe stop naming your kids after wolves, people. Seems to be tempting fate.
>>223045151They have. It's just hard to single it out with all the other stuff they whine about, like Ching Chong's name, or the goblins being jews, or the elves being slaves, or every fat character being described as fat
>>223048445>but you can't accept that James and Lily aren't the same ethnicity as their biological song Harry?Considering that it's mentioned repeatedly that Harry looks identical to his father, yeah that's a tough sell. Practically every adult who knew James comments that Harry looks just like James.
>>223045107You think snape is going to be the only black character?>>223045151It's an enormous stretch to call that a racist name.
>>223048937Everyone focuses on the name being racist, and not the much more absurd situation that a man named "Shacklebolt" became a police officer.
>>223048869nice. thank you for taking the time
>>223048930It is also mentioned that Snape is a thin man with sallow, pale skin, a large hooked nose, and greasy, straight shoulder-length and curtain-like black hair.James could might as well be a jeet, he even should be a jeet, and Lily should be Thai.

>>223045107>HARRY POTTER DID YOU JUST SAY SNAPE PLAGIARISED HIS PHD THESIS?>NOW WE HAVE TO PUT HIM ON SUICIDE WATCH AND I GOT THE MEDIA ON MY ASS

I’m not complaining because Harry Potter threads often have some gold buried in the repeat posts, but it is so obvious that posting here is part of the HBO marketing budget lol
Black could be anywhere
>>223049435if they are paying for it then that's retarded because people are going to discuss it anyway, it's not like there haven't always been harry potter threads every day for the entirety of the existence of /tv/
>>223049514More likely they hire teams of individual marketing teams that then execute a strategy such as posting in places like Reddit and 4chan to keep it in the zeitgeist prior to the new series
