Harry Potter: The Series (HBO) (2026)

Curious. Would you have the same take if they casted a white man for a well known black role? Or is it just “the whites?”

In any case, I think it would only bother me if it changed something meaningful about the character. Like a Django Unchained remake with Chalamet as Django wouldn't make a ton of sense.

Whites still have plenty of representation and some of us are incredibly sensitive about it. It's weird

Maybe its just me, but he looks much younger than year 1 Daniel Radcliff did. Cute kid though.

Saying you want a show because you refuse to read reeks of intelligence.

The reason I don't spend 100 hrs reading a children series is not laziness.

Yeah, of course, with my wife and kids who like this stuff.

I might even read it to my kids someday. I will never consume Harry Potter media by myself, lol.

LOL, what? Is it more fun reading children books to yourself as a 50 YO man?

I write novels, blood. I don't read children's books. I also don't watch shows based on them. In fact other than the Prisoner of Azkaban I really didn't care much for the movies. In fact, back it up and you may see what my original point was.

I like the books and movies. I’m looking forward to the show too.
