White as in white as a ghost. You can be brown or a nigger and have your face go pale. ESL trash please unalive yourself asap

>Could a black Hermione work?

>>211467521
Meh, she hates trannies but she's still a shit feminist

>>211467740
nobody would ever write a line like that referring to a black person

>>211467846
Almost like she is writing about hermione the person and not a white or black or indian or asian person

>>211467846
Rowling did.

>>211467846
True, but it does work for a poojeeta like the new actress.

>>211467471 (OP)
Sure? There are black people in the UK, so why not?

>>211467600
Go back to Reddlt. We're a Blackedboard

>>211467983
How many black people do you know named Hermione?

>>211468029
I don't know anybody named Hermione

>>211468055
That you know of

>>211467846
Why not?

>>211467471 (OP)
Harry Potter is for faggots and children. Why are you discussing it?

>>211468093
Yes, so if there was a black Hermione or an Asian Hermione, I'd be just as surprised as if there was a white Hermione

>>211467983
It would be way easier to cast a black english person than a white english person that's for sure.

>>211468118
That doesn't make any sense

>>211468133
I don't think casting is based on whatever's easy

>>211468178
Why doesn't it? I'd be surprised if a girl told be her name was Hermione because I've never met a girl called Hermione in all my life. Race just isn't a factor in it.

>>211468098
Because a black person's face wouldn't be anything resembling "white" in this kind of situation. It'd maybe be a bit paler. Not white.
>hur dur it's not literal
it's literal enough that no serious writer would use such a line when referring to a black person

>>211468114
Harry Potter is for chuds now.

I don’t get OPs image. “Black” Hermoine refers to her race, not her skin. Black people rarely have literal black skin. A light skinned black girl or even pale black girl is still black. What happened to the stupid one drop rule that white people loved using so much back in the day?

>>211467471 (OP)
It honestly feels like the same PR firm is behind the online defense of intentional racial miscasting, I keep seeing the exact same shit over and over, almost word for word, and its been this way for years now.

>>211469840
so why didn't she draw Hermione the same way she drew Gary?

>>211469892
Or you are frustrated that you can't change the meaning of phrases to fit your personal headcanon

>>211469964
>change the meaning of phrases
That would be the people who want to pretend "ghastly pale", "white face" and so on apply to basketball americans.

>>211469926
Who the fuck is Gary?

"White face" doesn't refer to white skin colour though, its meant to be a pale-ish effect when in fear, or shocked. Maybe this is just a european thing and amerimutts don't understand, don't know

>>211468003

>>211467471 (OP)

fucking racist can't even remember the black harry potter character

>>211467471 (OP)
What if Hermione had a penis

>>211470021
Nope, that's you. You'll pretend you're right despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, but you are the incorrect party. Best case, you're just as dumb as black hermione theorists but really you are dumber because your only evidence against their argument is that you hate niggers.

All this over rowling being nice to a kid on twitter

>>211470071
Dean Thomas before the rename

>>211467716
Yeah if that's the best "proof" the haters could come up with then it's just sad. Clearly JK wasn't describing the actual complexion. And I say this as someone who thinks Hermione is and should remain white.

>>211470218
>despite mountains of evidence to the contrary
Like Hermione's face being described as "white", or the faggot retard desperately seeking attention from strangers on a dying porn website by beclowning himself and pretending white doesn't mean white?

>>211467740
I've never seen this happen, can you show a video to prove its real?

If she was meant to be black, JK wouldn't have named her Harmony Ginger, she'd be Felonia Steal or something.

>>211470315
You type like an idiot. Read a book other than Harry Potter.

It's what's called a literary device. Commonly used in books.

>>211470071
Gary Golliwog, publisher had some sort of issue with the name.

>>211470763
It's what's called a description, also commonly used in books. Ron's hair wasn't red because of she wanted to make a commentary on Bolshevism, he just had red hair. Hermione's face is white. She's white in all depictions including JK's own original sketches, which actually includes a black for comparison. This routine is running its course, you need to mix in some other "pretend" retardation to sell your lost redditor act or I'll be the only one giving you pity replies, and even that will dry up soon.

>>211470763
i'm no etymologist, but i'm going to guess the expression 'to go pale' is based on the medical phenomenon, 'going pale'.

False and this is where I stopped reading. You can probably find a fourth grade language arts class on youtube. Maybe play it on double speed while you game.

>>211471353
>this is where I stopped reading
It sounds like you stopped reading back in grade two.

>>211471240
She was only metaphorically white, and JK depicted her as white in all her sketches, in commissioned art, in all film casting she had sign off on, etc. only as a metaphorical commentary on spousal abuse, don't you 3.14 graders read anything???

Most everything posted here now is. Genuine conversation is impossible, people need to farm for attention or something to screenshot and crosspost to social media.

>>211470979
Right, and over time medical observations become idioms like "broken heart" or "blood boiling". If you're reading it like a lab report you may be missing the point of literature.

>>211467471 (OP)
this fucking bitch expects us to believe that she didn't have a ludicrously specific image of the characters SHE INVENTED in her mind when she was writing HER OWN FUCKING BOOKS

>>211471548
sounds like you've got a touch of the ol' tism.

>>211471548
The problem is you're attempting to pass literal description off as something else, and then pretending everyone doesn't know what you mean when they reject this obviously dishonest and inaccurate framing. You're not coming off as authentically stupid, but like a stupid person trying to feign a different sort of stupidity.

>>211471396
A fucking canadian weighing in on a literature discussion. Get fucked eh

>>211471582
People forget this because she hates troons, but she's the original wokester retard, turning characters black and gay and whatever else for points to make sure everyone knows she's with it and supports the current thing. She wrote the books at a time when she was living in a White country, and it's obvious from that alone that the majority of the school and cast are White, which is why anytime a non appears in the books they are specifically described as such because its such an out of the ordinary, unexpected thing against the norm. Now that the UK is filled with nons, it is taboo to acknowledge this is new and not how things always were, so of course she can't acknowledge it now. She lost a lot of credit in that circle because of troons but she still wants to be in it.

>>211467521
I think Rowling fucking loved being considered a paragon of morality at one point that when her pov went against the consensus it broke her brain.

>>211471582
Yeah, she really is that stupid.

>>211467471 (OP)
The word white in this context refers to her going pale from fear

>>211469926
Because of what my post literally just said. They could both be black and look different.

>>211471617
Wait, you think that line in the book was Rowling literally (literally) describing Hermione the white girl's white face (because she's caucasian)? You're not even saying terms like pale can't apply to blacks. Jesus christ man get a grip

>>211467471 (OP)

Hermoine is obviously white in the books, but her race isnt relevant to her character at all so it really doesn't matter what color actress portrays her

>>211471839
>People forget this because she hates troons,
No they don't lol
The brown fucking zoomer faggots ignore it because they think only being anti tranny is what matters. Most of them weren't even 10 years old when she was pushing for their shitskin comrades to flood our countries during the late 00s and early to mid 2010s

>>211469926
Was she supposed to be blonde? Harry's hair is still black, obviously you can't color Ron's hair as red but it's not shaded in like Harry or Neville

>>211471982
>No they don't lol
They do, people have been posting 'based Rowling' shit here for years.

Why do Indians think authors literally write about a character's skin color randomly? Do Indians not learn context clues and expressions?

>>211467471 (OP)
Unironically this scene is describing Hermione's fear, not her skin color.
Black Hermione is retarded, but this quote isn't the hard contradiction people say it is.
The real one is that every other black character is explicitly stated to be black. Angelina Johnson, Dean Thomas, Lee Jordan, Zabini, etc. Yeah that's right, I remembered fucking Zabini.
If Hermione was supposed to be black the whole time it's ridiculous that it was never mentioned.

It doesn't say in the Hogwarts scripture that Hermione isn't a black boi

>>211471983
Neville is blond.

>>211468323
I hope black snape stays. So much meme potential

Coming in periodically to be NTA and posting the same thing isn't working either bruh

>it's not literal
It doesn't matter, because it's describing a thing that doesn't apply to blacks. Blacks don't go pale from fear anymore than they start head bobbing like jeets and getting hit by trains

>>211470130
She is an SJW, retard. She only hates trannies because she hates men.

>>211472141
It takes genuine autism to see that 2015 tweet of kind hearted Rowling having fun with her fans and take it as hard evidence in this debate about other's interpretation.

If race is vitally important to the description authors will sometimes use "ashen"

>>211476525
you didn't really need to mention race when writing a book in the 90s in Britain, the default was white, if she was another race then it would mentioned

>>211467471 (OP)

You can tell they can't help themselves.

>>211468369
and you would say "black with grief" you wouldn't just say "their black face" when referring to a white character and expect the reader to take it as natural-sounding shorthand for the former you disingenuous faggot

>>211476579
Of course not. It was written with children in the 90s in mind, not 30 year olds in the 20s who spend so much time on the internet it made them retarded.
>>211476742
To clarify, you are implying that rowling typed "her white face" to literally imply Hermione's caucasian face? What a bizarre distinction for a liberal children's book author in the 90s.

>>211469658
OK i'm not racist when i'm horny!

Hermione could be black, white, Jewish, Asian, Slavic, or Latina and it would still do nothing to improve the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though

"No!"

The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

>>211467471 (OP)

I don't get it. Instead of smearing blackface all over Hermione and calling her a nigger, why not create a new character and make her being a nigger part of the story (an African wizarding school student goes to Hogwarts as part of an exchange program or something)?

>>211477375
I can see the subtleties of the English language confuse you. Yes, it's obviously about being afraid BUT at the same time it would be a jarring, bizarre choice to use those exact words to describe a black person's face showing fear.
It's a bit like saying a character was "standing tall" in some situation. Sure it's not just literally about being tall, but you wouldn't use the phrase to describe a short person, unless you were being ironic.

Why, exactly, is a black Hermione "needed?"
Or a black Severus Snape?
Or inevitably, a black Harry Potter?
Or an all black cast?
Why is it necessary?

I'm not familiar with the universe but aren't there supposed to be other wizarding schools out there, such as one in Africa? Why not tell original stories about a boy wizard from that school in your fanfiction television shows? What's stopping them?
