You mean is the only hermione

@@oscarthefunnydoggo9695 exactly

@@towanda1877 exactly they literally said they weren’t racist

Well said :D

Plus Rowling isnr that inclusive considering how shes transphobic

Actually, I'm fine with these characters only of they're in a new story line.....EVEN IF IT'S RELATED TO HARRY POTTER...but changing the casts is just.....it's like a waste of time growing up with the original cast when it will be changed....

It’s like J.K. ROWLING is making a fan fiction on her own book. Smh.

Actually there was a whole scandal about how Rowling refused to have a black actress as Hermione! I remember reading about it when the first movie came out, I'm surprised she hasn't objected again tbh

how could she?

you're right

abbeyorange Hermione is literally half of her life she has been playing her since she was 9 until 20+

ok yeah you're right . i'm pretty sure I know that. But Miley Cyrus forgot about Hannah Montana who was a huge part of her, and completely changed and removed her from her image. Emma didn't do that to hermione and I'm so proud of her

I get it like the cast of HSM forgot all the songs and like all things about the movies and it's like damn where you even there ?

Is emma Will act In Further Movies Of Harry Potter Or Not?

why is it okay for a black person to be Hermione when throughout the series she was a white girl? It's stupid and racist towards white people. I don't understand why western people are so defensive and accept any stupid arguement put forth by sjws. Write new, better parts for Black people . don't ruin the story and characters of an already established series because it's not necessary.

Exactly In this pathetic attempt they're insulting people of color too. They deserve original stories and plot lines,not some half baked and borrowed stories

PHANTOM GAMING there won’t be any more Harry Potter movies as far as I know.

Jungle Book hermione’s race isn’t relevant to her story, that’s why she can be played by any race

Omg yes !

And there are black characters that are described as flushed and pale.... That doesn’t make them white. These are expressions used to describe an emotion like being shocked or surprised. Take a creative literary class. Someone can imagine Hermione as they want, be it black or white or mixed.

M. Elle She did not say flushed or pale she said “white.” She has described other characters in the book as black such as Dean Thomas.

Prisioner of Azkaban..... Chapter 21 Hermione's Secret.... page 426.... Thank Me Later

@@nowilltolive4123 The term “white face”, can also be counted as a shocked expression.

Exactly!

True

the way i would give my liver to see a Draco movie about his life after the war and have Tom play him. He's said multiple times he would love to return as Draco if given the chance. THE WAY I WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING FOR THIS

Crazy Puppet Productions Somebody can 😎

EzEkIeL Hahahha hahahah *No*

What about snape ? He is one of the best actors too . R.I.P. Alan Rickman , you were the best Severus Snape there is

No, everyone is the best. 😎

Exactly!! I was so disappointed when I found out the casting of the cursed child :((((

Elizabeth Schmutz agreed. I feel the same way.

i would have been ok if they at least looked and sounded like the original actors from a distance (since it's a play and you're not up close looking at them)

cuz i understand that they're all busy and everything so it would have been nice to at least *feel* like Harry Hermione Ron Ginny and Draco were actually playing the characters

so i was really disappointed at how they casted the play cuz it would have been so easy to find someone at least more accurate :((

it’s because they’re film/tv actors not stage actors most likely

Why, she is Hermoine for little kids as well. I read the first book when I was 7 and saw the movie when I was 8, she's equally memorable for all ages in any movie she plays

I can’t think of a single child who liked her as Belle (she messed up the costuming horribly, changed the character and now It’s dripping In the famous Hollywood pseudo-feminism) but she was great as Hermione and little kids today love Harry Potter

Don't Forget TOM FELTON'S DRACO Malfoy

And Tom will always be: poTaHH

I'm 100% sure all of us prefer much more the original trio.

Draco shouldn't be in their trio, he could be a friend but not IN their trio. He was a total jerk when he was a teen but he was a bit nice to them in the cursed child. Scorpius(his son) likes Rose(Ron and Hermione's daughter) so maybe they could become family and overcome their differences. Draco isn't racist anymore because his wife(Astoria) changed his heart. She died unfortunate.

Yesssss his POTTER was amazing

Why thank you

That's because nowadays most people would find you racist if you say Hermione shouldn't be black. They dont want anyone to get the wrong idea.

Same. I was scrolling comments while I was watching the vid and I was like"WTF??? Why th y'all r calling yourself racist😂😂😂

I was about to say the exact same thing...

D_ Brosk because it’s true

I grew up watching Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. She was phenomenal in that role.

TalesofJunior lmao

Sameeee

Lol same

Especially if they look COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from me!!

They're saying like there shouldn't be a black hermione which I agree with BUT I think it's racist because it makes me feel like if someone changed a black person to a white person it wouldn't even matter because if what's happening in this comment section and in the world 😔

And nobody tried to replace Emma 🙄✌🏾

@@immacuwanya4300 Don't worry. With the world we live in now, there IS NO changing black characters to white.

and from what I've heard, it has a fucking shitty storyline

IIRockyinwonderlandII ahh! Liza is your profile pic.! I love Liza can ya tell?

Ikr!

I'm black too.

It's just disappointed that J.K. and Hollywood would rather change the race of a white character to black instead of just creating a new original character that is black. That little mermaid movie just infuriates me cause it isn't diversity it is just wrong and its letting little girls know the only way they are going to be represented is to change someone else's race to theirs. But then again Disney is the same company who made the only black princess a frog for 90% of her own movie so go figure.

Yh

Thank you

I think they should scrap the entire cursed child. It’s terrible

@@yakigesher-zion7289 I loved it, I've seen it twice 😊

@Noobmaster 69 it's a play, I've seen it twice 🙄🙄🙄

@Noobmaster 69 I don't understand what you are trying to say 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ it's a good play 🤷‍♀️

@Noobmaster 69 k

same also the book is really not that good compared to the other ones

@Suparno Dhar fair point, well made

Stop calling it a sequel, it's not.

Its a play 👀 not that serious

@Ginny Weasley According to Rowling Hagrid is trans, Harry has a mark on his leg that looks like the symbol for gay rights, dumbledore is gay, and etc. etc. She is just desperately trying to be inclusive which is just ridiculous. Next up is probably something like: "Snape was a single mother"

Taylor Tadych Exactly. Besides, Rowling made her own paintings based of how she pictured her characters. And there, Hermione was pale just like Ron and Harry. And I think I remember Rowling saying that she thought Emma was a perfect casting choice. So I think it clarifies that it’s total bs that she claims she’s black and that she always pictured her that way. Not being racist, I just don’t like retconning of already established things. I would probably act the same way if they changed Dean Thomas, Cho Chang or Kingsley the same way. If it was some sort of reboot, fine. Then it’s okay to rearange left and right cause it doesn’t mess with the continuety. I mean it still wouldn’t guarantee it ti be well received but it would work better.

Tickets isn't my biggest problem tbh,(the tickets in my hometown/country is cheaper) but... is it worth it to spend money in a movie that just... doesn't make sense. And the fact that the original cast isn't in there it's just... Why? If the original cast was there, there is at least an excuse to watch the cursed child

Lol

I get u bro😎

-the destination is way far from hometown(i know i am commented after an year but whatever)

Eh, I read the play script and it was good, I just pictured Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton. Worked for me.

You would think growing up in an abusive household, Harry would be an amazing and understanding father, but nOoOoO there has to be conflict!

In my mind, Cursed Child doesn't exist and Harry's a great father and everyone is happy

@@miawongmusic yes, same

I've never read it because it sounded horrible and I was more right than I knew. I've read just the 7 books a billion times, the tales of beedle the bard, and magical beasts and im keeping it that way. Rowlings twitter post memes tipped me off that I should never read another book from her.

Michael Newman ikr she’s like “hermiOnE wAs bLaCk” even tho in the books it says she’s white

SK Queen shut the f up. we all know harry is your fav

SK Queen i have her wand 😅😅😊😊 you can get it at aliexpres

Jason Bourney harry can be a. It annoying, without hermione he'd be dead and gotten no where

SK Queen lol who doesnt

im always hermione for halloween lol

The fact that I notice skin colour doesn't make me racist, No one is going to believe you when you say 'You are black?! I never realized that' Same as when I see when someone has blue, green or brown eyes. But that doesn't mean I will treat them any different. I have friends with many variations of skincolors and religions and that's fine with me. I was just stating that it felt a little strange because I will always think of Emma as Harmione in my head. It would feel the same for me if Ron was portrated by a blonde (I know it's very clear that he's a redhead in the books and Hermione is not specifically described as light skinned but this was just an example) I also stated that I wouldn't have mind even a little bit if she was portrated as a darkskinned girl from the beginning, it's just changing the character that worried me a little bit. And at the end I also mentioned that since Emma thinks she will do amazing I'm fine with it because that means Hermione is okay. So please don't call me a racist, I'm not a racist.

snoko2 You will never understand a writer's wishes and how clever they used their words on books so they can do freely alterations in movies. If Harmione wasn't describe very specifically in the books that means the writed J.K can do whatever alterations she wants plus is she described the character best qualities and not physical appearance then the actress must fit the level of intelligence of the character in the book. That's why she clique with the new actress portraying the character. P.S: Saying I'm not racist then proceed to justify, "the why they put a black woman portraying a character that was white first" it is indeed racist.

Christian Sepulveda I'm not looking for an argument and I feel like I do not come across like I intended. So I will try to clear everything up one last time and keep my mouth shut after this before I make it worse. What I was worried about was wether I would be able to see these people as the same characters I'm used to seeing other people portray. And it will be more difficult if they look very different. If my grey cat all of a sudden became red I would obviously still love it, but it would feel weird because that's not what he's supposed to look like in my head, do you understand what I'm trying to say? It has nothing to do with the actress or with the race, it would be just the same if the character went from black to white for me. I also said, that now I know that Emma thinks she's a great Hermione I feel a lot better of being able to see those different people as the characters I've loved for so long. It often happens when they change the actor for a certain character in a series and it just doesn't feel the same anymore because they are not able to portray the characters the same way. My comment was never intended to be any kind of racist or rude. It's just difficult for me that they are changing the actors and in this case I can't picture her as an older version of Emma so she has to be really good to redirect my whole vision of Hermione, but I'm still very excited to see the results I hope people realize I'm not trying to come across as rude.

Christian Sepulveda honey we as humans are visual beings , hence the reason movies are so popular , even when we read books we imagine the characters because we are built up like that . What the other person means is even if Hermione was black in the HP movies and they changed her to a white person it would bother him/her because we're used to that look so much so that we don't even want someone else ( this is my opinion) . I wasn't even interested in going to watch the play because it's not Rupert , Daniel and Emma playing those roles , i grew up with them and i love these actors in these roles to death , it just doesn't feel right to me whatever actor that is playing them if they're not the original cast . It's not racist because he/she doesn't in any way shape or form say that white ppl are better than black ppl .

Well yall need to deal with it. Use more your imagination Hermione used a spell to hide her true identity so her family would be safe. Or in this new world of Harry Potter Hermione is a woman very intelligent with frizzy hair.

It’s disgusting to change races after a decade and after establishing them as white. Inclusive inclusive inclusive why does everything have to have every single race it’s so pathetic and pandering. Harry Potter the films didn’t need to be more inclusive and they were perfectly fine as is.

I thought u were dead

Kenzy Ahmed Khaled I know Hermione is obviously white in the Books, like you need to do a Harry Potter reread if you actually believe Hermiones race was “left up to imagination”. I believe JK Rowling first had the Idea of a black Hermione around when this new actress was cast, clearly Hermione was never meant to be anything but White before that😂

Actually the full line is “Hermione’s white face was poking out from behind a tree” that line is said by JKR to mean that her face is white with shock describing her in an emotional state, not a description of her skin color... the only other sentence is early in book three “Harry turned to see them waving frantically at him, Ron looking very gangly, hermione very brown” but “brown” could very likely mean” tan” because the summer between 2 and 3 I’m pretty sure she goes to France on vacation and words in Britain and America often have different meanings I.e loo means toilet in Britain. Regardless I believe that it doesn’t matter it’s a play not a movie and if JKR cared about skin color she would have demanded white or black in either situation. She did not. That being said I see Hermione as white but I’m not going crazy that this particular region of the play made her black because JKR never bothered to say her skin color at all in the books

@@joshz2491 oh ok. I also see her as white since I saw the movie first and I was immediately hooked

Josh Z No you are right, her “white face” was described to illustrate her fear and while it is a bit of an expression some people’s faces (like mine) can become even paler when really scared, anxious or nervous. And tbh I couldn’t really imagine anyone using that expression for a black person. Like if you have a friend who is truly black and you scared them as a prank you would never laugh and be like “haha you should have seen your face it totally turned white” 😂. I don’t think many people would use that expression for someone who is black. Also there are other implications of Hermiones skin color being AT LEAST FAIR for example when one of F&G joke telescopes punches her in the face and gives her a black eye she is described as looking like a “lopsided panda” ( because pandas are obviously white with black around their eyes, implying that her dark bruise in contrast to fair skin) . There are many other but I cannot think of them on the spot and I don’t want to say something that isn’t true. To me Hermione is white and in the books she was certainly meant to be white. However I don’t mind a black actress playing Hermione in the cursed child ( however I don’t really accept the cursed child a “canon” anyways, for me it is more on the level of a very Potter musical as far as “canon” goes 😂), if she was the best actress for the job. I don’t LOVE the race of even the hair color of a character being changed, for example I think on of Broadway’s Elsas may have had darker skin (and an according darker wig instead of Elsas signature white/blonde) and while I don’t love that, I can live with it and I imagine it is frustrating to be equally as talented and beautiful as white performers but have so little leading roles that you “look” the part for. Plus I feel like in any sort of ongoing live performance where different performers will take over the same role it is hard to keep up a perfectly consistent exact “look, so maybe it is a little different. Also I agree with you, plays are different than movies and I wouldn’t be interested in seeing anyone other than Emma Watson genuinely taking over the role of Hermione in a movie anyways. But I do feel extremely confident in saying that JK Rowling clearly intended Hermione to be white or at least have rather fair/ light skin ( so not black) in the original Harry Potter books. Also I just realized that Draco Malfoy constantly makes fun of Hermione for her “unattractive bushy hair” soo yeah that is way worse if Hermione was really supposed to have an Afro and be a small minority at Hogwarts. Also if Hermione was really supposed to have that type of hair, not just curly Caucasian hair, it’s slightly odd that JK Rowling felt so comfortable in making it clear that Hermione is instantly prettier when she „tames down her bushy hair“, like at the Yule ball or Bill and Fleur‘s wedding. Idk that would be odd. I liked reading your opinion though!

Theres a black girl in the book named Angelina Johnson' described to have dark skin and braided hair. It's not that difficult to describe someones race.

Cyber Punk hermione is described as pale in the books and the goes a ‘ghostly white’ when scared. i dont think its possible for a black person to literally turn white. shes white and jk rowling cant just randomly decide she wants her to change races.

@Cyber Punk well first of all, JK Rowling mentioned Hermione being white... multiple times...

No shit Sherlock

Because you're an idiot.

Care to elaborate as to how she is an idiot?

Chris Higham well I mean it's supposed to be them in the future. Older ron and Harry kinda looks like Rupert and Daniel but older hermine looks nothing like Emma.

That I understand, making such a big change to a character like that we've all known so well without any specific cause is just odd. I was commenting to the other guy who probably couldn't explain himself or the things he says for his life.

Chris Higham ahhh okay! yeah I think he thinks I'm an idiot because I don't like that she's not the same skin color as Emma. I never said that. I just don't really like that they look nothing alike

Powermauler45 thank u!!! This comment made me feel so much better about them a COMPLETELY different Hermione than we all know and love xx

Celebratory Cereal Calm your self Keyboard Warrior.

Oh yeah, let's never mention Emma's race if she's black instead of white in THE FUCKING UK. You can even say she's an alien, but it would still make no sense.

lol this made me laugh. it's so true though. Guys. I'm not racist and yeah it could have gone either way, black or white or whatever. And I would have loved her either way. But in the movies, she's white. So shouldn't she still be white in the sequel? Makes no sense. If she had been black in the first movies, then yeah black would make sense for the sequel. Not both though. It just makes no sense.

The films are an adaptation of the books, the actors in the films are portraying JK's characters, they don't own them. In the books the Dursleys are blonde but are brunette in the films, Harry's eyes are green in the books and blue in the film. The book doesnt specify her race just buck teeth and bushy hair, none of which emma watson has but Noma (Hermione in the play) does in fact have.

I agree 100%. I wouldn't watch it because of that. It's not racist to want well known characters to look like they've been described etc.

i didn't know black people's hair were brown...

Weiliang Mah well then what color did you think it was?

folks who are of african descent have black hair naturally... i think a white actress should have gotten the role

Weiliang Mah for your information, black people have dark brown hair, not black

Felt exactly the same reading it. The plot was horrible and everything/everyone felt off.. Wish I had saved my money and just left the characters where JK first intended us to.

MsRachelMargo it's like a horrible fan fiction I wrote when I was 10

everything felt so wrong and not like a harry potter book at ALL. During the audiobook I realized that I wasn't listening :/ it was more boring than the fist chapter, which I heard like what? around 8 times? And it was somehow still interesting after so many times....

It's just such a shame because I know the whole HP community was really so excited for TCC but instead was sooo very let down by it.

What makes Rose so intolerant? She's literally a breathing Hermione, they have the same personality.

Dumbledore was already kinda gay in the books, (Grindlewald yk) But there was never any black Hermione in the books

@@soumisaha9147 its not stupid I mean I was a poor decision to cast a black women all of a sudden after Emma was playing her for so long but it wouldn't be stupid if Hermione was black to begin with

no lok

Hermione is a fictional character so she can be embodiedas anyone. If you read the books you will know that it doesn’t even say she is white in it and that the directors only cast Hermione as a white girl because of Emma’s skill. The director of the show did the same and cast off shear talent, not her race as it never specifies in the book.She is a fictional character and , in my opinion, it is nice to see directors changing up a character instead of just giving us the same thing.

Soumi Saha ay you are Finnish too

Flávia Carneiro same here, I'm going to ignore it. It wasn't written by JK, so I'm refusing to believe it happened. sorry not sorry

The only way I'll acknowledge it is if it becomes a film and the original actors reprise their roles.

And only if they change the story. It sucked.

J.K. Rowling acknowledged it as canon.

I liked the plot,but i hate these "new actors" who play as them.Because Harry is Daniel,Hermione is Emma and so on,no one can replace them.

And Hermione was detailed in the book. She was a white girl. It is as sill as having Steve Buscemi play Jim in Huckleberry Finn.

Loll
