Only 90% white cast?
I'm boycotting this children's show.

You’re a wizard Harry! Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermoine Granger has been cast for HBO’s reboot.

Not the actor...the character not being represented as people have read her as for 20 years+. It was really distracting in the play also.

I'm fine with the actress playing Hermonie. I'm not happy with the Snape cast. I found it interesting how that was the first cast announcement. I'm a huge fan of the books and grew up reading them so I understand where you are coming from. I'm not sure if I'm gonna to watch the show due to the Snape casting. I think it's ridiculous how everyone else they cast can look the part but for some reason they went out of their way to make Snape different lol
Harry Potter is peak culture that all sides cling to in some way. You've got the hardcore purity tests loons on the left who try and cancel anything to do with it, you've got the millennials clinging to it to excuse any faults it has and deluded themselves into convincing you it's peak writing and how it's apart of their lifestyle, you've got the anti-woke loud mouth types clinging to it to support JK but also bang on about stuff like this despite them being against her during the time she was retconning gay wizards and people shitting on the floors.
Throw em all together and no matter what your view on it is, you're going to find a very loud argument going on.

In real life or the show? I don't see that happening in the show because despite all the whining and complaining, Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game of 2023 and this show has been hugely anticipated. This show will also be extremely successful.

Westworld doesn't belong next to those two. It turned into Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4 mixed with Ghost in the Shell, in it's final seasons.
That one prison escape episode with Aaron Paul's character was peak.

True Detective season one or Game of Thrones was probably the last great show HBO knocked out of the park imo.

IMO, Perry Mason was the last great HBO show that ended on a high note

I still don't know what season 1-only fans wanted from the show.
Almost all of the stuff you guys didn't like was either shown or hinted at in the first season: The heaven's gate, copy cyborgs, implanted memories, the outside world having cyborgs, the simulation, cyborgs fighting back/uprising, human replacements, uploading consciousness, etc.
I can agree that season 2 with "eastworld" was a bit meandering for over half of it's season, but season 3 did the smart thing and took things outside of that setting to show how everything was unraveling on a larger scale.

The pacing was incredibly awful and most of us were having a hard time keeping up with the timeline not to mention the fact that it started having more holes than a swiss cheese. There was nothing at stake, nothing interesting anymore. There were a million ways they could've done better and thats why it got cancelled. Its charisma vanished.

I don't have an issue with this casting but I'm seeing this post a lot 'she looks Mediterranean' etc. Definitely in terms of colouring I get that dark with a tan but she doesn't have European facial features. I think she's half English and half Indian or South American. You'd know what Portuguese look like better than me but I'm Greek and don't think her face looks South European at all.
I'm always surprised how people struggle to tell apart dark Mediterraneans and other brown/olive populations when the faces are completely different. Even struggling to tell the difference between Iberians and Greeks is ridiculous but I see it all the time.

Rowling will shill for black Snape, just because she isn't pro trans doesn't mean she isn't progressive btw. So any more race swaps you better be prepared for it.
Personally interested in who they'll cast for Peeves, Rik Mayall had that shit briefly in the movies.

Those are some professional portraits, all right.
Aunt Petunia was giving me some strong "Marisa Tomei as Aunt May" vibes, but the actress isn't that pretty in most other shots.
Quite good casting, tbh. The OG Malfoys were exactly as you'd imagine them reading the books, but the new ones look the part quite enough.
The adults all look a bit too young, but then again, all the parents of Harry's schoolmates and foes should be in their mid-to-late thirties. The movies made them a bit cartoonish and they looked older than they should.

Still with the scar off center? Did JK retcon that?
I wonder how much effort they put into predicting future growth for these kid actors after the "fat nerdy kid" turned into a seven foot tall hunk. If the Hermione actress drops some Ariel Winter level growth between seasons 2 and 3, it will be that SNL skit for reals.
I gotta.imagine they have ai tools now for this sort of thing and it factors into a known multi year casting gig.

Am I crazy or does he look like a girl?
I mean it's like a 12 year old kid and I don't want to dunk on little kids but the longer I look the more feminine he looks.

People who bully actors for roles they accept are just absolutely retarded.
If a casting is shit, blame the director and the casting director or whatever, but never the actor.

No, that's just what quite a few 12 year old boys look like now
And short. They're all short now. Half of my kids old class looked bloody 8 at 12.

It looks like they're going for the 90s aesthetic, whereas the films were contemporary. Because of the setting the time period never felt that essential but it's maybe a good way to differentiate them from the films.

He look like the small version of the protagonist in the first of the new ghostbusters movie.
