What's your problem with it, exactly?

by Anonymousreply 1April 23, 2018 5:06 AM

Is it historically inaccurate OP?

by Anonymousreply 2April 23, 2018 5:12 AM

We all know who Hermione is. SHe's a character in all the HP books. She is described in detail and she is not black.

1. This is clearly a troll post.

2. We all already knew this eons ago.

and most important of all 3.

Wrong R3. According to Rowling herself her race is never described. Just her hair and eyes. She loved the idea and supported it.

MOVING ALONG!

If the original Hermione had been black I wouldn't have a problem with it. She wasn't. I don't want a Chinese Harry Potter, or an Indian Dumbledore. I want the characters as they originally were.

I'm a fat old white gay guy with a big dick; can I be diverse?

R6, I agree. I want Hermione a half blood. How dare they have a full human play her!!!

And I want her really nearsighted

How dare they take liberties with a fictional character!!!!!

I just won’t watch it. Pc culture is a disaster.

I would love to have Apu Nahasapeemapetilon play Dumbledore.

This is why Barbara Bush's funeral was especially lovely. There was no forced diversity and tokenism at play. Everyone was appropriately white or when necessary (the Obamas, a few secret service, Condoleeza Rice) they were black.

Why not? Why not have a "Panto" style of Harry Potter stage show with RuPaul's Drag Race Drag Queens play all the characters? I mean, really: LIGHTEN UP!

by Anonymousreply 17April 23, 2018 6:13 AM

Why not ? They even made Joan of Arc black. Isn't this cultural appropriation ?

Harry Potter was a series of kid books written by a leftard and people here complain that a Black girl play one of the characters?! LOL

Not just people R19 but 60 yr old men!

Can you imagine the outcry if they had made Voldemort black instead?

by Anonymousreply 21April 23, 2018 6:44 AM

Well, the good news is most of you flyover queens won't be seeing it. If youre not a flyover queen, you'll probably won't want to pony up the shit-ton of coin it'll cost ya to wait seven months to sit in the mezzanine because ticket sales are through the roof right now. Oh, and it's performed in TWO PARTS so save your pennies... to throw at the stage during the boring parts.

It’s the fucking theatre. If you can get over the idea that you and all the people sat around you are paying $$$ for the experience of watching other people act out scenes written by a woman that focus on magic and supernatural powers then hopefully your mind can open to the idea of a dark skinned black woman acting in some of the scenes.

If you can’t, then it’s probably that you’re racist.

I bet Rowling would change her tune if they made Harry Potter black. Tokenism always has its limits.

by Anonymousreply 24April 23, 2018 7:01 AM

Would Rowling have been okay if they changed Hermione into Herman?

by Anonymousreply 25April 23, 2018 7:06 AM

U guys demand realism in a fictional kid's story about wizards. Crash helmets can be worn indoors.

by Anonymousreply 26April 23, 2018 7:10 AM

Look, if there's a Black Jesus then there can be a Black Hermione. Fictional characters can be switched up for whatever they need to be for the latest project.

"This is why Barbara Bush's funeral was especially lovely. "

Then I guess her death worked out very well for you.

I know her death worked wonders for me.

by Anonymousreply 31May 3, 2018 9:05 AM

Clearly she has transitioned.

I know....shocking.....the pc casting queen won out.

Good. Let’s hope the black actress won’t grow up into Emma Watson, a virtue-signalling faux-feminist who undresses to sell magazine covers, meanwhile critizing Beyoncé for showing too much skin.

Good god, OP, you seriously need to grow the fuck up and expand your horizons. Leave the basement. There's a fun world out there.

did they cave in to the PC police? tho she is just fine in the part. ..... fine.
