The problem with black Hermione is that it's not sticking to the source material. She is mentioned as white. Just keeps it that way. If a character is described as Ginger, make them ginger, if they are black make them black but don't swap because it really does annoy fans when they throw the canon source material out the window in favor of a political statement.

[@learobinson4450]

Where exactly do the books specifically say Hermione is white? The exact book, book edition, chapter & page. I’ve read all the HP books a over a dozen times (perk of being a nanny) & the only description of Hermione is bushy brown hair & large front teeth. Those physical traits are not exclusively Caucasian.

[@DoubleO88]

[@Autumn_1212]

​@Lea Robinson It says her face turns "white" or "red" in certain situations and, in Prisoner of Askaban, it's stated her skin "tanned in the summer". Think if it what you will, but Hermione is white in the movies at least, and if they change that to fit a narrative in the new series, there will definitely be disapproval.

[@Autumn_1212]

​@@learobinson4450 Also, here's a direct quote: “One moment, please, Macnair,’ came Dumbledore’s voice. ‘You need to sign, too.’ The footsteps stopped. Harry heaved on the rope. Buckbeak snapped his beak and walked a little faster. Hermione’s white face was sticking out from behind a tree. ‘Harry, hurry!’ she mouthed.

[@learobinson4450]

@Autumn. White in that context is an indication of fear, not of race. But you’re correct that some will be upset if Hermione is portrayed by a POC. R@cists & b!gots alway get their underwear in a knot whenever minorities are given main roles. Look at the h!ssy fit they through over the Little Mermaid. Decent folks know that r@ce doesn’t matter.

Hermione isn’t black in the books. JK Rowling just said she could be black in the play because she was just trying to please the woke mob. There is no evidence she had black ancestry. A black actress could work for the series but they already said the series was going to be faithful to the books. Otherwise what’s the point of the series. To poo poo all over franchise?

[@getdownonit8753]

There’s no evidence that Hermione has Caucasian ancestry. Also when they say “faithful adaptations” they mean to the story. Half of the characters do not have specified races. If the race does not impact the story then it’s not as important. Hermione also has plenty of text clues that point to her being black. Her being black will also make the racism against her and SPEW more impactful.

[@StarFox9301]

I hope you do more with Narnia, I would like to see the later books talked about.

[@landonp629]

Narnia is a great book series - but it poses some issues as a TV series or movie series. Few of the books actually have the same cast of characters, several of the books are very very HIGH fantasy - like the Horse and His Boy, and as the books came along they become less and less adaptable in my opinon. I think this is exactly why the movies stopped where they did, and exactly why Netflix has shelved Narnia TV projects. It COULD work as maybe a telling of Narnia during the Pevensie era (between Lion and when they return back through the wardrobe).

[@chriszone50]

@@landonp629That would make a great idea, a tv show set in the time where they grew old, it seems like such a large amount of time that was glossed over. And the actors are the right age to play their adult selves.

[@konohahurricane07]

I agree that the series doesn't need a reboot, but this TV series isn't being made for a random reboot. It's to deeply flesh out characters and storylines similar to how the books did but that the movies couldn't do because you can only put so much into a movie. So for those reasons I think it's absolutely necessary. So many characters and storylines were either cut completely, or significantly under used.

[@SoggyBagelz]

[@MrWeis-re7bz]

It's hard to say how much this reboot is needed (although I personally consider some films not the most successful), yet I'm used to Daniel Radcliffe and the rest, plus, I'm afraid that HBO may lose all the "British charm". Still, it would probably be better for them to expand the world of Rowling, and not "parasitize" on it.

[@grahamdamberger7130]

If Talia doesn't get the role of Hermione, I could totally see her as Hufflepuff student Susan Bones. And it's sad that the films didn't address Susan's familial connection to Department of Ministry worker Amelia Bones, who is her aunt. I think Amelia dies somewhere in the novels (haven't read all of them as of yet, so not sure which novel), but if the TV show mentions it, we should see how it affects Susan and what she ends up doing after. We didn't really see her past the second film, as the films focused more on Gryffindor (being that's the main trio's house), but hopefully the TV series can give characters from other houses like Susan Bones some time in the spotlight. After the failure of the Fantastic Beasts film series they could have done something else besides a Harry Potter reboot. I've heard people say they want a series about the Marauders and the fallout between Lily and Snape. A movie about the founding of the American wizarding school Ilvermorny, a series about the 4 founders of Hogwarts, maybe something focused on a school other than Hogwarts have probably been floating out there as well.

[@mat2093]

I don't think it needs a reboot but I'll still watch it if it's theatrical. Daniel Radcliffe was really perfect for Harry Potter. He was good in the recent weird al yankovic movie.

[@LoveSherlockHolmes]

I can agree with your choice of Ron and Hermione but not Harry...that boy looks nothing like Harry. It would be really annoying to see someone as the new Harry who looks so different than the Harry we know. Now, I personally would really prefer a white Hermione because that's what she is in the books, but if people really need to change her skin colour (which seems pretty racist to me) so bad then I guess Black Hermione works too.

[@the.earthlyaquarius]

The problem with black hermione is that she just isn't. Hermione is not black and that's okay. If hermione was written as a black girl, there would be no issue because of course a black girl should be casted to protray her but that's not the case. It just feels like virtue signaling when people do this to a beloved character.

[@georgeeastwood6930]

Someone else I could imagine as Ron Weasley (or at least one of his siblings) is Gregory Mann. He actually has red hair & with his voice acting role as Pinocchio in the Guillermo del Toro version on Netflix, he could have the mischievous aspect that Ron does.

I feel like, with kids, a lot of times you can't tell how their looks are going to go. With the movie cast going back to the first movie, they were all decent looking kids.

in book 3 she’s described as having very deep brown skin. She has bushy hair, black girls have bushy hair. The white actresses can NEVER get the hair right as JK described in the book. Hermione is discriminated against and faces a ton of racism as do black people. The word mudblood is basically the N word of the wizarding world. Hermione has to work twice as hard to prove she is worthy of being that world similar to black people. Draco Malloy taunts Hermione for her hair texture. Black people get taunted and discriminated for their bushy hair texture. Hermione tried to perm and sleek her hair for the Yule ball black people have permed their hair for decades to try to fit into society’s white standards sometimes jobs even reprimanding them for their hair style. Hermione’s entire story is that of a black persons. It makes sense.

We really don't need a Reboot of something that we already have, the casting was perfect the first time around, and Many fans would welcome another movie/'s or tv series with the original actors and actresses, because they were perfectly cast, we don't need to know what we already know, we want to see what we don't know or haven't seen before, with the history and the lore surrounding the magical world there are so many other story's to tell and explore, rather then asking us to pay to go and watch a reboot, of a franchise that isn't broken, the fact that they want to Reboot the original story we have all come to appreciate and love, is in my opinion a kick in the teeth the original cast and creators of the films, I don't want a reboot, we don't need it because we will all still be watching the original films with our children and grandchildren for generations.

[@gayaast167]

I am not in favour of the reboot series but ngl this casting choices put a smile on my face. One thing that confuses me is if we are going with the direction of having a darker skinned Hermione, why is it specifically a Black actress? This is just to the fact that every single race swap I have seen in Hollywood has been from a fair skinned character to specifically a black one. For ex. Ariel, Astrid (HTTYD), Annabeth (PJ), Tris (Witcher), MJ (Spiderman), Kristoff (Frozen the musical), etc. My statement is having a tan skin (like Hermione is mentioned once in the books because she was tanned from summer vacation), doesn't automatically equal a Black actor. So my question here would be, who else would you cast as Hermione with a tan skin? Maybe someone Italian (italians can get pretty tan), Persian, Brazilian?? IMO political bullcrap should be avoided at all costs and characters should be cast as close as they are described in the books to be considered being a successful reboot! I am all for diversity, but I do not appreciate race swaps regardless of white to dark or vice versa. If a character is described as Japanese, then cast a Japanese actor not a Dutch one, etc. Overall, a reboot doesn't automatically mean success even if they ace the casting, I am being very cautious because the films mean a great deal to me (as I am sure to many potterheads across the world)

[@medafan53]

Personally I would be in favour of another take on the saga; along with changes there was a lot cut from the films (Goblet of Fire has an entire page of omissions on TV Tropes) and the longer runtime of a TV season over a film allows them to keep a lot more, and possibly expand the story, for example chamber of secrets could show us the other houses reacting to the attacks, which would be a good way to include more from characters like Luna and Cedric. With Cedric in particular his death would hit a lot harder if we'd had 4 years to get to know him. While it's unlikely that they'll go this route, but personally I would prefer a rebooted Harry Potter series to be animated, for one thing there are certain limitations live action has, particularly on a TV budget, for another, it allows them to side step the risk that, with the time it takes to film the entire show, the cast end up looking older than their characters are meant to be, the eternal risk of child actors in live action, and for a third thing an animated series has a better chance of standing on it's own as separate from the films, in comparison to a live action series.

[@stephaniem6482]

I'm one of those massive Harry Potter fans who doesn't like most of the movies. I didn't even see the last 3 until years after they came out and I still can't bring myself to get excited to watch them. I am SO EXCITED for a reboot... I would love to see a more book-accurate Hermione, Snape, and Ginny. And more age appropriate Marauders/Snape. And more explanation/exposition altogether. I think they can definitely be remade with a different vibe and more detail to exist separate from the existing movies. If Willy Wonka, Spiderman, James Bond, Batman, Pride & Prejudice, etc. can be remade/rebooted twice (or more) in the last 20 years, so can Harry Potter.

As a Harry Potter fan I don’t know if you’ve done this but I think it would be cool to include a casting video of characters in the Harry Potter books that aren’t in the movies like in the goblet of fire winky I know wasn’t in the movie and I don’t believe peeves was in the movies either I’m not sure on the answer to weather or not peeves was in the movies I don’t remember much of the movies I just read the books

He was not in the movies.

Who is that woman on the bus with Toby Wolff who looks like Princess Beatrice?

[@vitmir9099]

I second the first 3 candidates, but please no more any black Hermione!

[@nelly3625]

One problem They’are all 14-15 y.o now..

[@gergelytakacs9042]

I'd like to see your Hogwarts Legacy casting. As the children there are older it would be easier to cast them as well

[@PR7-82]

Better not be American

[@Devin7Eleven]

70% of the cast will be black or Arab, 25% will be part of the LGB spectrum, remaining 5% will be native Brit

[@robertbell4276]

I want to see more of your casting choices for the students, like Neville, Draco, Luna, Fred and George.

[@sonne2010]

I loved your Recasting Series some years ago and your choices were great! Your golden Trio looks fantastic as well! I would love to see Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Petunia and Hannah Waddingham as Narcissa ☺️

Agree that it's completely unnecessary, and honestly who actually wants it at this point? The only way I would want a reboot of the HP series is if it was animated. - The characters would all look entirely book accurate, without the actors needing to be. - Ages of actors would be less noticeable as it's just their voices, and if any need replacing the character seen will still look the same. - It can go more surreal. An example in the book is Hagrid tying a knot in Vernon's gun, whereas the film he just bends it. It would look rather ridiculous if a live action version did it like in the book. Magic can look more humorous and entertaining with an animated style as opposed to horrifying, like Dudley eating the ton-tongue toffee, or 'the bat-bogey hex' both sensibly not in the films. - There would be a greater consistency from film to film, or season to season, as the Castle would geographically stay the same throughout utilising the same model. Whereas in live action certain access to locations might change or other reasons which mean whole areas look different. - A new live action version is highly unlikely to use as many physical locations, sets, props and effects as the original and I reckon its effects will not blend as well knowing what modern production time and cost is like (look at Marvel when they don't give the time and money to creators), so a fully animated version would look more complete. And of course as an overall effect it would just stand out on its own. Whether it goes for a 2D style, CG 3D, stop motion, motion capture etc, it can really have its own design not limited with what looks the most realistic. Imagine if it's CG, but for scenes in the pensieve it's animated in 2D, reflecting how it's just a memory.

[@AdamicTheory48]

I had the same thought with the Percy Jackson series, might work better animated.

[@zsoltbartus169]

Agreed. Actually even a long anime series would be the best. Japanese usually don't force western political agenda in their works.

[@getdownonit8753]

@@zsoltbartus169 It’s Harry Potter not no damn Japanese. It wouldn’t make it pass season 2 before getting canceled. And what are western politics? Japan throws you in jail if you spend to many nights sleeping away from your spouse. So let’s not act like Japan is so awesome. They have their own crazy “politics”.

[@getdownonit8753]

You typed all of this for nothing. The animated series is not happening. That’s not the direction they want. They want MODERN direction for the new generation.

Toby Wolfe looks more like a young tom riddle to me

They NEED to cast Adam Driver as Severus Snape!

[@lucasacevedo8408]

I’ve always wondered why not just create new characters in the same universe as the original films and explore a different school considering there are many schools like Hogwarts.

[@alistairemson4986]

If Hermione is cast black, I hope Mcgonagall is a man. Dumbledore a 30 year old trans with short pink hair. Gotta make this inclusive! I really hope they do this well. They could have done so many other stories. The movies are so recent it feel wrong to remake them. But the use of "Hedwigs Theme", the original movie theme, in the reveal trailer brings hope they know what they are doing.

They better not treat this the way they treated Velma.
