They did pretty good with the casting just based off looks imo. I honestly thought the castings would be riskier and more controversial
Unfortunately they’re probably still going to be cyber bullied by a bunch of millennials who are way too attached to the OG films
That is some really good casting visually. These kids need to be protected ASAP especially Hermione's actress. I can see the racism coming from a mile away if it's not already happening.
i dont mind the kids. looks good

Yeah, it'll be terrible and they're locked into these roles for at least a decade. For their sake, I hope the show itself is actually good because that has a tendency to dead any/all bullshit complaints and online attacks as time goes on.

Honestly it's the smartest thing they could have done tbh
Between entitled Harry Potter millennials and racists the internet is going to be wild

I'm really just curious to see how much more they can expand on the books and all the details they couldn't adapt in the movies because of the general limiting runtimes of movies.
I only hope that this show is worthwhile for the sake of these kids
it’s an uphill battle to climb. Cast looks good overall though
Surely, weirdos like The Critical Drinker and the rest of his crew won't lose their s*** about this casting

They'll be fine if they just make it their own. I, for one am glad we're getting this series adaptation. It's what the novels deserve and so long as they do things the right way, it should be a great time.
Nasty move to put the OG trio next to them

Good, and great casting. Really hope they protect all of them from social media, Hermiones actress especially is barely brown and i imagine racists losers gonna be tripping over themselves to harass her.
also they need to recast snape

That Nerdrotic weirdo will have a video up within the hour, I'm sure. Just a bunch of white, dudebros who hate everything and are always mad about something.
I hope the production companies do all they can to protect these kids because they'll definitely need it.
