They will almost certainly make Hermione black. It's already happened once and Rowling has expressed overwhelming approval for the idea. Honestly, if they make the character white in the reboot, it will spawn thousands of seething hit pieces talking about how Rowling is also racist in addition to literally genociding trans people or whatever. WB will do everything they can to minimize the damage
The original movies, while not always that good, had phenomenal casting. So many great, iconic choices. They don't even have a chance to get near to that level since 50% HAS TO be some ugly diversity hire.
>Lupin will 100% be black
Lupin will 100% be white, they won't have a black character that can't control his savage animal nature. Think of the #optics #yikes.
Maybe they'll keep the DADA professors white since so many of them turn out to be bad guys. Then they can go wild on all the others, including Dumbledore.
They will hire literally whos cheaply. Becouse show will run at minimum 7 seasons.
I bet real reason behind lot of those diversity hires is. They are cheaper.
Except lot of poo's in this show. They must be cheapest.
Perfect.
They can cheaply diversify their show straight off the ratings then. Even a good script can be ruined by moronic child Black person actors and I can't remember the last good script I came across.
Actually show will be nightmare to turn into tv show script. Pacing will suck ass massively.
In books. It was basically random shit happening. Then last 50 pages dumbledore explains plot of the book.
It was fine. Until 4th book. Where thay explaining just keeps on going. First voldemor explains. Then Bart Jr. Then dumbledor.
Imagine that in tv format. Just harry sitting down and listening when grown ups talk.
I wont start "worrying" about those books, not until I have any reason to believe Rowling found even half-way competent people. They might just frick it all up so hard it gets cancelled by season 2 or 3.
Obviously potter fans are stubborn, moronic and desperate but if too many israelites get involved in production it will not be enough to keep the audience.
If "they" were smart they would just give more lines/screen time to those background characters, the race bend ship already sinked white the Black mermaid.
I think the word is "sunk" the Black mermaid and yes, you are right.
They might be just careful enough not to Black personfy the main cast but that is still an open question.
It was HBO doing the production, right? How pozzed up are they on average?
harry potter is super popular in asia, if they want to change their race, they should made her asian and pander to that region, but it's stupid either way
many african americans couldnt get into the orignal harry potter movies due to the lack of inclusion. its good they are fixing this. the reboot is going to be everything
> JK Rowling makes cryptic statement on Twitter about how she never actually said Hermione was white in the books > People remind her that she literally mentioned Hermione's "white face" in one of them > She doesn't respond
If Hermoine was anything other then white and anglo, Rowling would have given her a bad pun/stereotypical name like she did with the Asian, Black and Irish characters.
>"ron was red with anger" >UHH ACKCHYUALLY MISS ROWLING, RON WAS ALWAYS ETHNICALLY NATIVE AMERICAN YOU SEE, THIS IS CLEARLY STATED BY THE BOOK, WHICH I TOOK LITERALLY BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION MY INFERIOR INTELLECT ALLOWS

it's set in the 90's because that's when the first book came out, zoomer >The entire Harry Potter series is set from 1991 to 1998 aside from the opening chapter of the first book, which takes place on 1 November 1981, and the epilogue of the seventh book, which takes place on 1 September 2017.
>I read it then, but you literally can't read. It's set in the 90's. You said it's set in the 80's.
I usually ignore these kinds of obvious signs of lower IQ, lack of education and combative attempts at displaying internet superiority. This time however Ill make an exception:
>I read it then, but you literally can't read.
You mean "figuratively", not "literally". If I literally couldnt read, I wouldnt be able to respond to you dummy.
>It's set in the 90's
It starts in 1981, literally. The bulk of the series occurs between 1991 and 1998.
>You said it's set in the 80's.
I wrote that its set in the LATE 80s "IIRC", which is an acronym in case you are too much of a buffoon to know that aswell.
Holy Reddit. It's literally and figuratively set in the 90's, not the 80's like you claimed. Harry is a baby in the 80's, in the prologue. That doesn't mean that the series takes place in the 80's. What are you even arguing about? >achually that's not what "literally" means, you low IQ, now let me pwn you on the internet by regurgitating this shit I read about the word "literally".
Everyone knows that dude. Do you always write everything literally? You can use the word "literally" figuratively. You literally are a monkey. By saying that I don't actually think a literal monkey wrote your post, but a figurative monkey. A person who is moronic. You were wrong in the internet and you can't deal with it.
if they have any sense they would lean into '90s style (where it's relevant) for those nostalgia bucks
I would absolutely hate if it were set in modern times
the weasley's will be black
they're ginger, they're one of the few wizard families who aren't complete c**ts, and they can have their bmwf romance with ron and white hermione. if they change hermione, they'll make her bi so she can turn up at the prom thing with a gender swapped viktor
dumbledore will be more outwardly gay, the werewolf guy will either be an outright allegory for trannies or one himself, malfoy is going to be gay so they can have him struggle with his feelings of hate and love for harry. the minority characters with stereotype names are going be renamed, they'll probably change the israelite goblins, and house elves won't be so accepting of being slaves
The Weasleys are poor yokels and Ron's the bumbling comic relief, they'll stay white.
Hermione will be black since she's the precocious genius character, plus studios have been pushing wmbf far more often than bmwf lately.
i'm just hoping they change some of the names to less obvious giveaways. how on earth did Joanne think naming the werewolf character Wolf Manwolf was a good idea?
Hermione will be black, Ron will be brown but with ginger hair along with the rest of the Weasley family, kinda like HOTD. Harry will look like he’s described in the books because they’ll want people to actually watch it.
Ron will not be changed. His family is poor and has too many children. They'd be accused of making him into a caricature of brown immigrants in Europe.
Wesley's will be WW/BM home. You got positive wholesome black father character. Black man white woman propaganda. Ron gets to be nog. Ginny gets to be nog.
Hermione will be black or indian. They're going to turn "muggle-borns" into an analogy for immigrants. Basically, muggle-borns charitably being let into wizarding society are the same as brown immigrants being let into European societies.
I suspect she'll be black and not indian though, because an Indian girl being named "Hermione Granger" would be completely random and nonsensical (not that it's ever stopped them). But if she's back, they can just pretend her family is from Jamaica or a former British colony, hence the British-sounding last name.
>They can't have characters calling a brown Hermione "mudblood".
Except that's the exact reason they'll do it you fricking mongoloid. They're going to treat anti-muggle-born sentiment as "racism" and "xenophobia" (this was already the case in the books obviously, but not so blatant).
To expand on this, there will be a scene of Draco (white, blond, old British roots) calling black-Hermione a "mudblood". And the audience is supposed to react with "le gasp, this is like he just called her a Black person".
And criticisms of "muggle-borns" that we hear in the show will be the same as those levied against immigrants. >they don't assimilate into society >they are foreigners that have easy access to a society that our ancestors built
No shit the whole cast won’t be white.
I just watched the second and third movies this year for the first time and it was obvious that by the third movie they were already filling Hogwarts with blacks and Indians to compensate for how white the first two movies were.
That’s got to eat at them.
Hermione is the obvious blackwashing choice, but her image and Harry’s are the ones most enshrined as their actors in the public consciousness.
Meanwhile Ron gets them potentially 8 for the price of one, but he’s easily the least popular of the trio.
Hermione also has the advantage of not being as defined by her personal appearance as Ron or Harry. Rowling loved going on about Harry’s jet black hair and the Weasley’s gingerness.
the troony fanbase has somehow come to this conclusion in the last few years. Any time I see fan art, which is not often because I don't look for it, it has Harry as an Indian now. The fans are absolute cancer and I'm glad Rowling doesn't give a frick about pleasing them anymore since they think she's the devil incarnate
I thought the troony fanbase completely despises Rowling now?
So if any troony is making fanart they are poojeeting Harry to spite her. Otherwise they are normal, moronic fans of HP.
yes
from what I gather they more so see the Harry Potter series as their own and something that has evolved past Rowling. I think that was sort of inevitable because of the amount of fanfiction, fanfiction tropes, etc. that these people are more fans of the fan creations of the series with the original stories just serving as a base that none of them have read for years and years
hence why they've become strange enough to depict Harry as an Indian, Hermione as black, and probably everyone as gay

That does make sense, trannies are probably spamming their disgusting fanfiction everywhere.
Wouldn't be surprised if they depict themselves as disgusting half-ogres in the stories despite things like polyjuice potion. Well no matter how hard they try to bury it, Rowling shits on them and they won't ever forget it. Still laugh at how they made Legacy a best seller and caused millions to graduate from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Bigotry.
I hope they’re smart enough to change the story up. That would at least be interesting and generate a ton of buzz around the show. Just imagine if the first episode goes by the numbers - practically recreating the beginning of Philosopher’s Stone - and it suddenly ends with Harry being sorted into Slytherin.
hermione will be troony because that is jk rowling self insert
ron will be white because he is dumb
harry is black obviously
harrys mom is white
harrys dad is black
dumbledore is gay
mcgonagal is asian
snape is white
dursleys are white
malfoys are white
sirius black is white
side characters are indian or pakistani (at least 4 out of 10)
She isn't only trying to piss of trannies, she also wants more fame. The c**t is also mostly moronic, supporting feminist bullshit and mass immigration.
Plenty of potential for this show to be good and to suck ass.
Hermione was already coded as an oppressed and bullied minority because she was a muggle. It was a pretty clever reversal of racial tensions as she was actually a beautiful anglo woman and the best magic student. It was a big part of what made her character interesting. Even if racist bully Malfoy was obviously anglo coded. Making her literally african would just make the whole thing too literal, less ambigous and therefore less creatively interesting.
Ron and his family makes most sense to get BLACKED because of the whole naive and 'unfairly' mistreated, but lovable charming lower-class family thing they have going on. Also because because it's least likely to piss anyone off.
When the casting calls for the main trio comes out we will already know which one will be black without even announcing actors. > open to all ethnicities
aka open to blackwashing
Also they already forced a literal kongo african female "exchange" student into the game that took place in the 1800s. You can see how far they would go just to insert blacks into a setting.
>Also they already forced a literal kongo african female "exchange" student into the game that took place in the 1800s.
To be fair, wizards can literally teleport. It follows that there'd be more intercontinental travel in their societies than in the muggle world. So black wizards in 1800s Britain isn't necessarily lore-breaking. I'm sure white British wizards have more kinship towards black wizards than white muggles, because of how small wizarding populations are and because they might see themselves as superior to muggles.
Even as little as 3 magical Black folk chimping out would be enough for the wizarding world to kill them all as a safety precaution.
Alternatively Black person wizzards are rare cause they constantly kill themselves with forbidden spells.
And all the chuds will betray their hero Rowling and will burn the copy of hogwarts legacy they bought because they though she was in their side
dialate.
This but unironically.
It's no use. Emma Watson is already imprinted as Hermione phenotype. Trying to retcon that is just cope.
Honestly, I don't care.
You guys don’t know how this shit works. They’ll leave them white and poz to hell and back all the side characters.
Zoinks man
They will almost certainly make Hermione black. It's already happened once and Rowling has expressed overwhelming approval for the idea.

Well we can at least assume Lockhart will still be a blond white guy.
He, Quirrell and Umbridge. Lupin will 100% be black. Moody twist turns into a Get Out situation.
>Lupin will 100% be black
Lupin will 100% be white, they won't have a black character that can't control his savage animal nature. Think of the #optics #yikes.
b but it's only because of the socio economic factors and racist anti-werewolf wyzards!
Maybe they'll keep the DADA professors white since so many of them turn out to be bad guys. Then they can go wild on all the others, including Dumbledore.
Lupin will be white, but he will also be a homosexual pedophile
except for the first one they are all so memorable

There are other wizarding schools for non-whites.
The original movies had lots of non-whites students
In the background.

>sheeeiit 50 points to Gryffindor
What will you do when they are? You'll imagine some other way in which you're oppressed.
I'm not looking forward to any big studio production after the shitshow that was The Rings of Power.
Maybe not, aren't they described as white in the books? They probably dont want a Rings of Power situation. Maybe they head toward the Witcher route
>the witcher route
you fricking moron did you forget they made most of the women in that some shade of poo?
Yea but they aren't black looking minorities, at least not Yennifer.
heh
I'll be the first to admit I think this show will be shit but I couldn't care less if literally everyone was black.

She also signed on all the official art for the books where Hermione is white
To be fair, Harry Potter is set in the late 80s IIRC. Back then it would make sense to have a majority of ethnic English people.
Fastforward to 2023 and modern England looks VERY different demographically.

I wonder how shameless they will be with the whole Ginny fricks BBC before hooking up with Harry fiasco.
