that and this guy looks too conventionally attractive to be that character lol

kriswolfheart.bsky.social•1 day ago

imagine this guy going 'I am the half blood prince' lmao

kriswolfheart.bsky.social•1 day ago

lol oh god does this mean the character trajectory is 'black man is jilted by white woman, becomes nazi' now

Wait aren't the bad guys in Harry potters whole thing that they hate wizard/non-wizard race mixing? And he became anti race mixing now because he couldn't get with a white girl?

kriswolfheart.bsky.social•22 hours ago

yes they're a white supremacy group lol

white woman's son then spends half the series thinking the black guy is evil because he just "has a feeling"

Ngl I feel like Rowling has been engineered in a lab to piss everyone off. Her anti-trans stuff pisses off the left and then stuff like this pisses off the right lmao

There has been like 1 good casting choice and that is picking john lithgow as dumbledore

Can’t wait for the scenes where a bunch of rich white kids bullying the shit out of the much poorer black kid, optics on that are gonna be great

The series would have to get to book 7 and that’s going to take like 15 years if it doesn’t get cancelled along the way

idontreadmuch.bsky.social•1 day ago

We would get it by movie five if I’m not mistaken which feels a little more plausible if this thing does well on name alone

kriswolfheart.bsky.social•1 day ago

nah they don't make streaming shows fast enough anymore so whoever they cast to be 14 would be 12-15 years older in 5 seasons

idontreadmuch.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fuck your right, only live action shows I watch now were made before 2010 so I’m still in the mindset of 18-24 episodes a season

idontreadmuch.bsky.social•1 day ago

God fuck the 8-10 episodes an hour each with half the actual plot needed to hit that runtime
