I completely understand the point of view to prohibit any discrimination pertaining to the casting; what I do not understand is how ... how in heaven's name ... can children; young children ... have a sexual orientation? boggles the mind. Will the new Harry be given contacts to make his eyes GREEN? I rather like the looks of the new Hermione ... especially because of her teeth the new Ron sure has the hair ... !!! Hopefully he is taller than the new Harry John Lithgow might make a fine Dumbledore ... possibly I was rather upset by the commentator stating that Rupert Grint did not display personality and emotional range in the movies ... HELLO ... the writers made that nearly impossible |

I had the same impression. I don't think any pro should be dissing the last guys. I like Rupert Grint and thought they gave him the crap end of the stick. Ron in books was pretty cool. And Dan's eyes went all red and watery when they tried to have him wear contacts... I bet this kid will be the same, so not hopeful for green. (and its not in this video, but... I'm trying to keep an open mind. I do have a problem with changing race for Snape. No idea how there are supposed to be long greasy curtains of hair when your genetics don't allow for that. But, again, trying to keep an open mind and be hopeful its closer to the books.) |

I hear you about Snape. The image I had in my head from the books wasn't Alan Rickman, but he did portrait the character well. The image I had in my head from the books certainly isn't Paapa Essiedu; but will certainly keep an open mind as well. As long as he is true to the "character" traits ... (fingers crossed) IMDB- Harry Potter TV Series they sure have a lot of characters picked already! |

"MY" Snape looked more like Filch sort of, except black greasy hair. He needed to look like the creepy school janitor from horror movies... with shoulders that curl toward his chest and a swoopy-loping gait. He was supposed to be the guy who yells to get off his lawn, only with some actual menace. I read something back early-on that she patterned him after a creepy guy (she didn't like) who was a real person. Anyhow, "my" Snape was better. They could even have cast Remus with a black actor, that would work, but Snape just doesn't. . |

It is difficult, yes. Sallow skin? Not really cutting it, is it. I'm going to hold off on this character until I hear & see him ... and how he portraits Snape in the series. (fingers crossed he works out) such a MAJOR character --- JMO - and if cast incorrectly, will completely ruin the new series.) |

Exactly. I keep asking why. JKR wrote lots of ethnicities and abilities of characters. It seems supremely idiotic to to take some of the best known characters in literature and cast/costume/otherwise-significantly-alter them. Its like you or I deciding traffic laws should be that green is the light you stop for ... Even if this guy is the best actor on the planet, he is just not right for the part. I really like the Joe Pickett novels by C.J. Box. "They" decided to make them into a TV series. The books are basically cops & robbers stories set in contemporary Wyoming. But the "Theys" decided to be politically correct and cast lots of minorities in the parts, who just don't live there - - and much like this problem with the casting of Snape, they mis-cast Joe's buddy (who is named Romanowski, and who's appearance factors into the story frequently) the same way. It is set in Wyoming. If they'd cast him as a Native American I could have accepted that because the philosophic base is similar and there actually are several tribes there. I don't think they even made a whole season of it because so many fans were screeching about the wrong casting and lousy costuming (they had Joe dressed like a Dallas Ag exec, he could have played a young LBJ, instead of like a Sam Elliot clone as he should have been). Anyhow. Yup - this is a mistake. Big Time. . |
