As Warner Bros. embraces a new reboot for Harry Potter, a new rumor may indicate a game-changing casting choice for one of its lead stars.
Warner Bros. and Max (formerly HBO Max) surprised everyone when it officially announced that a Harry Potter series was in development, complete with an entirely new cast and a ten-year plan to more faithfully adapt the books.
This announcement led to mixed reactions from diehard fans, especially after The Wizarding World's controversial creator J.K. Rowling was reportedly on board with the reboot.

Harry Potter is not that bad and interestingly is a Christian allegory like Narnia.
LOL thanks. It points out the absurdity of this.
LOL! You’re right! Never thought of that, how stupid!
Wonder how they’ll pull off Harry’s green eyes that was a major plot point?
Or all the “ginger” jokes about the Weasleys?
They already de-Judaified Hermione (who was originally written to be Jewish, but they mostly chopped that out because Scholastic didn’t like a major Jewish protagonist). So I suppose she can be anything.
Some knuckleheads think their are only two races—Black and White. They are wrong—there is a rainbow of colors. White, brown, yellow, red, and black—and mixtures of all of them. Remember the “white” race has many allies in the Asian and Latino communities and all of them are getting a bit sick of Black race haters demands. Use of the Magic Marxist word “Racist” has served them well, but the race card is getting overdrawn and will soon be void.
“The Wizarding World’s controversial creator “
One transgression against the trannies now makes even super progressives makes you “controversial. How dare anyone state that women will always be women and men will always be men.
Roots with an Irish cast might be interesting. ;)
Cultural appropriation!
I think the first one is snoop. He looks good as a house elf.
Conservatives really really really need to make a white Wakanda movie
I never watched the first load of Harry Potter ,LOL
People of color are jealous ?
They could do the Biden family.
The big movie makers are losing their shorts on these woke CGI projects. But they’re not quite at the intersection where the truck of reality hits them on the drivers side door.
One of the Weasley brothers will be Black, the other South Asian
Don’t ask….
I watched the first movie. Pretty much all I needed. I wasn’t going to wade through another 7 movies. It didn’t hold my interest enough. Reboots on the whole are worse than the originals. Not always but most of the time.
First one was not bad. It had potential. I saw the next two movies. I don't remember anything about them. Didn't bother with the rest. The story was average. Charisma from actors were so-so.
