I just found this out.

>The London production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will explore a whole new side of the brainy Miss Granger.

>In the Harry Potter books, the brilliant Hermione Granger is described as having frizzy, untamable dark hair, brown eyes, and protruding teeth, but more often is defined by her intellect and devotion to her friends. So even though she was played by the wonderful Emma Watson in eight massively popular Harry Potter movies, why shouldn’t Hermione be depicted as black?

>That’s exactly what’s happening in the newest Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which will debut as a West End play in May. The play’s cast was unveiled Sunday, with Jamie Parker and Paul Thornley playing the grown-up Harry and Ron, and Noma Dumezweni, a black actress born in Swaziland, as Hermione. Though the usual corners of racist Twitter may have been quick to decry a Hermione who looks different from what they imagined in the books, J.K. Rowling herself was quick to weigh in with her support:

>And in fact, the notion of Hermione as a woman of color has been widely discussed in fan circles for years, most clearly laid out in a BuzzFeed post by Alanna Bennett, who connected fan-art renderings of Hermione as a black woman with the book’s exploration of magic politics, where Hermione was looked down upon for being born to Muggle parents. Rowling’s books were always clearly aware of the magic world’s version of racism, and even eugenics, where wizards of “pure” blood were seen by some to be superior, and “mudbloods” like Hermione had to fight against prejudice. So making Hermione a woman of color isn’t just O.K. based on the book’s description; it makes even more sense given what her character goes through.

Well the mugblood thing was such an obvious racism cop out that it had no real consequences to the characters in the movies. Sure they were harassed by Malfoy, but I don't think the majority of the students made fun of Hermione.

I don't understand, and never will, the fascination with taking established characters and wanting to change them entirely. What's so fascinating and empowering about taking a character and making him black, chinese or what have you? Does it add anything of worth to the character or the world itself? Is it just part of a hamfisted agenda that tries forcibly to shove minorities into major works of fiction? If the latter, then that will never be truly satisfying for those who push for it no matter what.

I am just being realistic. Why are all the males that they choose to be in super hero films; appear twinkish, slim boys with perfect faces? Because attractiveness sells!

Same goes with this black actor they cast in this HP play. She is dam ugly and not a looker at all. Same reason a fat ugly white boy with a disproportioned nose would never be cast as spiderman or superman - unless it was a comedy. (Pic related).

Can attest to this. Was a kid when they came out but never read them, finally did recently when a friend lent me all seven and I really couldn't say no. (still haven't seen the flicks)

But holy shit, was it average. The worldbuilding was fine and really great at parts, but the actual story was bland if anything. Every plot point is either completely predictable or resolves via some bullshit. If you're in Slytherin, you're either just an awful person period or Snape (seriously I don't think there was a single villain that wasn't either in Slytherin or an actual monster, but honestly Rowling wouldn't see the difference). The "hidden" meanings in a lot of the characters' names are laughably obvious, fucking "Xenophilius" is literal Greek (you could make the argument that kids weren't supposed to notice them and they were just there for older readers, but if that was true wouldn't they be more clever? "Look at me, I know basic Greek roots! I'm so smart!" -no one ever). And the message is so painfully obvious it just drives you mad by the end of it, every third line of dialogue is basically "Be nice to others regardless of your differences". That message is fine but goddamn I did not need seven books of that shit.

All in all, 6/10. World is inventive enough, actually manages to get kids to read, just turn your brain down to half power and it can be entertaining. But the only way they're some of the best examples of modern British novels is if modern British novels are much worse than I would have imagined. Still better than Divergent, tho.

Explain this

Hermione emerged, coughing, out of the smoke, clutching the telescope and sporting a brilliantly purple black eye.

Hermione sitting at the kitchen table in great agitation, while MRS. Weasley tried to lessen her resemblance to half a panda".

She hasn't been able to replicate her success with Harry Potter, so she's desperate to stay relevant and does so by pandering to progressive youngsters. See: Dumbledore is gay, there are trannies in Hogwarts.

Just regular trannies. Magic probably makes it more convincing that turning the penis inside out.

I know it's absurd what she's said but the world is full of absurd people. Would you risk hordes of social media sjws making your life a misery or just throw them the bone they're demanding for an easy life?
She's already banked over a billion from white Hermione. She doesn't give a fuck if some blacks want to appropriate her character at this stage.

Hermione is still white in the play, she's just played by a black actress. Dumb liberals are too stupid to understand how plays work, just like Ophelia in Hamlet was a girl character even though she was never played by a woman in the original run.

i'm glad they didn't cast a black woman in the films, would've undermined her character a lot
>>
>>68030746

You see, some years after the end of the Harry Potter movies, her wand broke. Instead of waiting to get a new one, she went to cast a spell to turn a racist black, so they could see how it is like to be black, but the spell misfired and turned herself black instead.

Childish racism aside, I agree that this is ridiculous.

I guess the books forgot to mention Hermione has a dog-face. I mean, fuck, could they choose someone uglier? Plus, she's supposed to be 36 in the play, but the actress is 47.

Also, those teeth. The books do mention that Hermione has protruding teeth (which blacks also share, but it's racist if a white guy doesn't mention it), but they forget that she used magic to fix them in book 4.

Case in point: Blaise Zabini. A Slytherin and friend of Draco Malfoy.

A black character who Rowling outright says is black upon introduction, including Lee Jordan, Angelina Johnson, Dean Thomas and Kingsley Shacklebolt.
>>
>>68032501
It still doesnt make sense even if you do take it in an expressional context. To describe a shocked expression on the face of a black person as white is stupid. So either Hermz is actually indeed white and Rowling is just a lier OR Hermz was meant to be black and Rowling just sucks at writing.

This might be the post when /tv/ goes full SJW, sperging out about casting decisions on theatre plays.
>>
>>68032826
But it also totally shoots itself in the foot as a metaphor because magic ability can pop up anywhere while it's impossible for someone to change their genetics; Neville is a pure-blood and a cunt hair away from being a squib, Hermione has no wizarding ancestry and is brilliant, Dumbledore was a pure-blood and one of the most gifted wizards ever and Voldermort was half-blood and in the same tier as Dumbledore so "muh pure wizarding bloodline" doesn't mean shit beyond a cultural adjustment and AFAIK the kids of a witch and a wizard - no matter the ancestry past that generation - will always have magic ability (even if they're a squib). Hell, magic ability doesn't even correlate to intelligence or good looks because Crabbe and Goyle were both pure-blood but dumb as stumps with faces to match - not to forget all of Hufflepuff.

>>68035616
>Ugly
No, just plain with inconvenient hair. She had buck teeth until the second book and cleaned up really well in the fourth book for a dance.
>>
>>68030796
what would you do?

a pack of feral SJWs announce they are going to do a play based on your book "Whitey McWhiteguy and his all-white friends", but the entire cast is black. if you are in the media saying "this is the stupidest shit ever", they'd crucify you.

That she's black? Being black is a skin color, not a part of your personality.

>>68030746

Hermione is obviously white and was always intended to be white, no matter what Rowling tries to backpedal into.

That being said, casting a black person for the role is fine, especially for a stage adaption.
>>
>>68045022
Because Rowling is a greedy opportunist and will take up any form of virtue signalling to get back in the public eye.
