>Jason Isaacs called out racist “Harry Potter” fans during a conversation with Collider at Fans Expo. Isaacs, who is currently an Emmy contender for his work on “The White Lotus” Season 3, starred in the original “Harry Potter” film franchise as Lucius Malfoy, starting with 2002’s “Chamber of Secrets.” HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” series has cast “I May Destroy You” Emmy nominee Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, igniting backlash from toxic fans. Alan Rickman starred as Snape in the film franchise.
>“Paapa Essiedu is one of the best actors I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve seen some people online who are being rude about him. What they’re being is racist,” Isaacs said. “All the cast of the new ‘Harry Potter’ TV series are amazing. They will be swallowing their tongues, hopefully — you know, their digital tongues — when they see what Paapa does on screen.”

Jason Isaacs can suck my racist dick. If race doesn’t matter, why is it so important that he be black?

Unfortunately for Isaacs, no one will be swallowing their tongues as no one will be watching. My gf is the utmost normie Harry Potter fan around and has already cancelled her HBO streaming service crap because of this casting, which was the only reason she got it in the first place.

>argument is literally just "H-H-He's a good actor!!!"
Whether true or not, that's irrelevant. He doesn't look like the character. The fact remains that Snape isn't black. Just like he isn't a woman, isn't young, isn't a Honduran midget in a wheel-chair, isn't purple & 20-feet tall, and any number of other defining facts.
Fans want adaptions to ACTUALLY reflect what is being adapted. That includes characters that look like they're supposed to. It's that simple.
That means you find the best actor you can get that ALSO resembles the character they're playing. Adaptions rarely, if ever, had a problem doing this in previous decades, so they should still be able to do it now. The problem isn't that they can't, though; they just won't.

This thread itself is marketing to get this trash back in the headlines now that Supermans marketing is coming to a close.
Remember our main mod works for a data harvesting ad agency that does work with Warner Media
Every single IP by them gets to spam in the way that everything else gets you banned
This was all made very clear when Joker(1)was coming out and people were allowed to make threats of violence and none of the posts were deleted, nor anyone picked up by the glowies. Yet the same type of jokes related to the Tarrant stuff months prior were reported and multiple users across the site arrested

actors are lower than whores, they need to be reminded that they're just glorified wordcels

Regarding the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling, he has said: "I went off and read the books after the audition and I read the first four books in one sitting—you know—didn't wash, didn't eat, drove around with them on the steering wheel like a lunatic. I suddenly understood why my friends, who I'd thought were slightly backward, had been so addicted to these children's books. They're like crack."
