if Snape was a beautiful black man, Lily probably wouldn't have chosen James...

Tbh Hermione black would EAT. She would be phenomenal. Crazy curly hair? Intelligent and fierce? Yes.

Literally the ONLY characters that don’t make sense to change are Snape, the potters, the weasleys, the malfoys and dumbledore.

Snape can’t be black because snape is described as pale and sinewy and greasy and milky…how they gonna make Pappa PALE AND MILKY. I’m so mad 😡

It will effectively make James potter a racist

Calling people racist because they went against a VERY specific character description is so ridiculous. Good for you

There are very few characters in the series where she describes a characters features in detail especially skin color. She went into depth about Snape’s physical characteristics.

KrissyJill :
So Harry is suspicious of his only black professor and the only black professor is a villan or a traitor...I think that alone is reason not to make Snape black.

So we’re going to have James hang Snape upside down? Hate him cause he’s weird.. sure, that won’t come off as racist at all. How is this accurate to the book.

I’m with you on this…wrong character choice. I’m allllll for inclusion and diversity by all means BUT Snape was so strongly written and described it just doesn’t fit well…he’s to handsome😭

Adam Miller :
The biggest reason in my mind is you can't have a black guy be bullied like Snape was bullied, you can't have Harry look at him one time, and go EVIL!!!

Adam Driver!!!!! you're right it's not about racism

morgan ™️ :
i think the problem is WE already casted adam driver for harry potter so noone else will work. 😆 i felt the same way about blake lively in “it ends with us” and look how that played out. 👀😂

Larry Winfrey :
How about the fact that Harry and friends are all scared of shape because of HOW HE LOOKED. Making Snape black immediately makes the kids racist if his appearance has anything to do with their fear.

AsheXIV :
Thank you! 👏😭 It’s no racist to want the original source material honored. Black Herminoe? I’d love that! Luna Lovegood? I’d honestly love that too! But Snape 👏 is not 👏 the one 👏

Hermione could be black. Snape can not. If you have read all the books you get it.

Nicole Byrne :
they promised a book accurate show. this casting is fine, its just not book accurate. therefore the rest of the show-Ron getting his lines back, Peeves, the sphynx - won't b accurate. so y watch 🤷♀️

Ryan Leigh Dostie 🆘🇺🇸 :
Never mind the way Harry just distrusted Snape on sight, right away, & Snape was always the bad guy for a large portion of the books, & was bullied? That doesn’t make Harry, James, etc…racist?

💕 📼 Original Ems 📼 💕 :
My thing is if we’re doing this then make whole dang cast non-white. If we aren’t going by the books discription, then just make Cho Egyptian and the Patel twins Iranian, make Jordan Brazilian etc.

XxAngelsWingsxX :
On a positive note, they did get the age roughly correct. Professor McGonagall and Snape both are supposed to be younger than originally depicted in the movies 😅

as a black woman I don't want a black Snape. like...why even 🤣

Seethegoofball :
So many other characters work so much better as a race swap. An old black lady as McGonagall would slap

Already makes me not want to watch it. It’s not that he’s black it’s just that we all have this vision of who snape is

Adam Driver 100% would be the best Snape. If they rewrite character descriptions, I'm not watching it.

rachelanne525 :
Hermoine is black in The Cursed Child Play on Broadway…..also not the vibe. It’s not racist when the characters are SPEXIFICALLY described a certain way in the books which it’s based off of.

LightRex2 :
I refuse to watch it. They promised it to be BOOK ACCURATE and the first thing they do is go directly against the books. Snape is explicitly described to be a PALE sallow skinned, greasy haired (1/2)

As everyone keeps saying. She already has diverse characters!! Let’s not make the potters racist…

KZ :
When I read a book an imagine of the person forms in my head based on character descriptions and actions.. so when they don't match my internal movie with the Hollywood movie it's very disappointing

Myshaella *MUH SHAY LUH* :
100% couldn't agree more. There is almost no other character in the series that I would have an issue with race "change". My reasons all come down to the description of him in the book. #AdamD4Snape

Tabs Art Shop :
I would be surprised if they don’t adjust casting based on all this feedback. Like why would they flop it before its release? I mean no one even asked for this show 😂

Also Snape gets hated on a lot sooooo that seems more racist imo

Chelsie :
I 100% agree with you. You have to go by the book! His description in the book is a complete opposite.

Meggruella :
Why can’t they simply follow the book descriptions? Snape was clearly described. Thank you @HBO for killing millennials entire childhood. With one character.

It’s not the race that’s an issue it’s the aesthetic, he doesn’t fit it for that character

characters that could be Black: Dumbledore, Hermione, Neville, Lupin, Lockhart, Hagrid, Fudge, Moody, mcgonagall, Cedric, Lavender, Olivander, Hooch, Tonks, Wood. Snape does not work in the story

I don’t think your racisit. I agree with you on the casting. It’s not gonna go over well when James and company are picking on a black kid 🤷🏻♀️

The only problem I have with Driver is he’s not from the UK or anywhere in Europe. Since JK wanted all the OG characters to be from there with the accents and all.
