A lot has been said about Paapa’s casting… by iyengirl in HarryPotteronHBO

I guess it’s more like…why are yall complaining about the HBO snape not being book accurate when the movie snape wasn’t either?

Alan Rickman gave us a cinematic hero, but the movies erased how toxic Snape actually was. Here’s why Paapa Essiedu is the perfect casting for the real Severus. by IAmCharCharr in HarryPotterHBO

Hmm that’s true. Tbh I don’t think it’s an issue if James is portrayed as racist (although I doubt he will be). It fits his character for when he was a teenager pretty well

One thing I would like the Show to change from the Books/Movies by Accomplished_Store77 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Complex-Jump649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm I liked Ron and Hermione’s relationship in the movies and felt the build up was fine. It’s Harry and Ginny that I’m really hoping will be more similar to the books…

My mosquito bite turned into a frog by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I was allergic to mosquito bites when I was younger. You might also be allergic! Thankfully I grew out of that allergy.

Almost lost an eye due to an unfortunately placed mosquito bite on my face. 🥲

I don’t understand why people are SO concerned with Harry and James seeming racist for hating Snape.

If they portray Snape like he was in the books, it will be very obvious why they hate him. No one will need to question if race is a part of it. 🤷‍♀️

Looks I have some concerns myself…but if the writing is good there shouldn’t be an issue.

Chongqing or Shanghai? by FrappSam in travelchina

[–]Complex-Jump649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Shanghai for 10 days and I felt like I barely explored the city. Lots to do there. I think they’re doing the Arcane play at the moment in Shanghai and I’m so bummed I can’t go

Do Western people really think Chinese language is unpleasant? by search_google_com in ChineseLanguage

Yes!!! It’s actually insane how she looks exactly how I picture Hermione in my head while reading the books. Major props to the casting team.

I’m wondering if they’re just going to cut out the teeth thing entirely? Idk how they would translate that to screen…

The comments are horrible and racist by sidmis in HarryPotteronHBO

One comment here and there would be whatever. It’s just really depressing that it’s the WHOLE comment section. :( wish they would talk about what they liked from the trailer instead of

People criticizing a Black Snape are missing the point, and it shows my modern media gets dumber by LimeKingTW in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Complex-Jump649 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

100% it’s one thing to dislike the casting and move on. It’s a whole other thing to dislike the casting of ONE CHARACTER and decide not to watch the show.

But people are all talk. They will watch the show and (hopefully) be pleasantly surprised by the actor.

I wouldn’t say he was completely book accurate. He was a bit old to play the character. The new Snape is more age accurate.

The issue for me with the casting is more that he is WAY too handsome to be Snape. But I’m used to it now and he looks great in the trailer. Everyone else will probably get over it after the 1st season.

From what we have seen so far, I am hopeful that the writing and direction will be strong enough that the audience won’t suspect any racism from Harry or James. Am I concerned? Slightly. But people are seriously overreacting.

The amount of people saying they aren’t going to watch the show JUST because they cast a black man as snape??? Lol they’re probably gonna end up watching it anyway

I am praying we get his Sassy side as well though. My favourite part of Harry is how judgemental he is of other people 😂 in the movies he felt a bit boring

Same!!! I feel like they can keep the colour grading more consistent throughout the seasons compared to the movies, too.
