Despite being only 13% of spellcasters, Dark Wizards cast 60% of unforgivable curses.
If you're confused, there's a new Harry Potter show coming out, and yes, they did.
I mean to be fair it's damn near impossible to replace Alan Rickman, but they could of at least made an effort.
Everyone and their mother said Adam Driver, he got the look at least. It IS really hard to replace a beloved actor, it is however possible to not replace him with a black man if you really try...
Well the one good thing about race and gender swaps is that they let you know up front what the priorities are. Shouldn’t be hard to read how Snape is described and cast someone who looks somewhat like the description
Adam Driver looks so much like Alan Rickman that he could be his kid, and he's a good actor at that.
Exactly. But say they reached out and he turned them down, you could still find someone who looks reasonably enough like him
The original films already heavily deviated from the books. Snape is supposed to be terrifyingly unattractive, like a gargoyle, with a huge hooked nose. The kind of kid who you understand why he got bullied and carried that hate into adulthood to torment kids.
Alan Rickman is none of those things, and is the entire reason why the character is so beloved instead of treated like a creepy loser who chased his oneitis so hard he bullied her son.
So, while I see your point, the films (which is all the majority of Harry Potter fans consumed) broke that rule already and were championed for it. So we gave them billions for already going wildly off description once.
Alan Rickman as Snape is like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (who is supposed to be a 5'3" manlet) where they do such a good job playing the character that you don't really care that they're not 100% source accurate.
Yeah, I don't hate him being in the role, but it still set a precedent.
Also, Tom Cruise as Reacher.
Tom Cruise is good in everything but he didn't really make Jack Reacher his own character, the giant guy Amazon found for the TV show was a much better fit.
Yea I know but this show touted the fact that it would be faithful to the books. I thought Rickman looked better than the book described but this casting isn’t even trying
Unfortunately, Rowling herself openly advocated for them doing this in other adaptations so its truly a lost cause with this particular franchise.
The only saving grace it has is that its dominated by horny women, who are known to be very quick to abandon things if they fail to titillate them enough (see Doctor Who). So while they will talk a big game about supporting it, they will likely dodge it anyway.
Well, at least they picked a suitably hideous actor.
Agreed, I really wish they'd gone with the rumored casting of tim Roth - he has that oily unpleasantness the character needed.
"Avada Kedavra n' muh dik, sheeeit."
Harry Potter and the Mystery of the Ceiling Bird
"Ayo, Ermine gurl, muh roof be bird noises an shiiet."
I just hate seeing niggers. They are just so fucking ugly. I moved to a city where there are much fewer niggers and the homosexual boylovers in CA started moving in when their faggot state got overrun with niggers.
So I moved to another area with much fewer niggers and now when I see one it fucking grosses me out.
Cant wait for voldemort to be orange.
So they made the black dude the guy that simps for his whole life.
That white pussy was phenomenal.
This makes Harrys mom based for turnning down a nig..... unless they make Harrys dad one too.
