I'm fine with the Snape casting.
Yes this is a Harry Potter post.
Yes I'm a grown ass adult.
JK Rowling can go fuck herself.
I personally find this casting relatively intriguing and the set photo of the actor playing the character actually looks pretty cool for the most part.
Alan Rickman was great as Snape in the movies but nothing like the book counterpart so I'm hoping the series at least stays closer to the source material and the movies did.
Paapa Essiedu doesn't look like Snape but if he can capture the essence of the character then that's what matters.
A common thing brought up is when the Marauders harass Snape when he's a kid and they hang him upside down from a tree and of course using a black actor can definitely make that very awkward to see on TV...I don't think HBO will make all the Marauders white and if they do then that's just a blunder.
Sadly there's also people sending me actor death threats because of he's black and that's a major fucking problem and those people doing that should be ashamed of themselves.
I imagine this post means absolutely fuckall and it can be easily ridiculed and/or ignored but the Internet outrage about this particular casting has been funny/sad and I felt the need to waste my time posting my useless opinion.
Have at thee!
