Bad casting ngl
It's not good of people to literally threaten some one like that tbh. But it's not great of the director to NOT STICK TO THE DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTERS OF THE STORY WHILE CLAIMING ITS GOING TO BE AS ACCURATE AS THE BOOKS.
It is a show… get over it people… give the actor a chance…
Horrible casting
Don't act like a real victim. There is a prior case about the furious reaction of Potterhead to the race swapping. The case that in the HP and the curse child that Hermione become a black woman. You knew what is going to happen, but you choose to accept the Snape'srole
Don't hate the actor, hate the casting director.
People need to relax and stop hating on the actor. The casting isn't that serious. If you don't like the casting, then don't watch the show, it's that simple.
Do we even care? Like I’m the biggest hp fan ever and I don’t care, maybe because I’m a busy mom but fr fr it’s just a show.
Absolutely do not hate the actor, at all. It’s disgusting and sick to give him death threats. However I do not agree with this reboot and I think it’s a soulless cash grab.
This is NOT Snape… This character looks like he belongs in Azkaban!!!
Well post the threats let us see
