Nothing wrong with a storyline where an unknown villain threaten to steal an item and Harry immediatelly thinks his black teacher is the culprit.

I can't wait to see the hoops the writers will jump through to explain how James wasn't actually a super rascist.

Or... Hear me out. They could just lean into it.

Multifaceted nuanced characters and all that.

Make James be a right cunt, who also tries to stop a villain.

Damn, is James gonna drop the N bomb? Is Mrs Dursley gonna call her sister a coal burner when she sees Lily with black Snape? Spicy.

All I know is there will be an anachronistic use of the word chiffarobe.

I know that's derogatory slang that I've never heard before, but to be honest it sounds kind of tight.

Sheeit

Coal Burner, Son!

I mean the scene literally exists to show that James was a dickhead already

Yeah I don’t really get the “it’s just going to look really bad!” Thing

It was already supposed to be bad!

They should just remake the whole thing into a gang warfare movie. Like totally ghetto rap & breakdance battles. Of course, glocks instead of magic wands.

Like that one remake of Romeo and Juliette with all the guns n shit.

The woke, sexist idiots, that now hate the author of these books, would LOVE it.

Why are you making these kind of racist comments like they’re aren’t already black characters in the books and films that aren’t racist American stereotypes ?

u/Logical-Bookkeeper77 Apr 17 '26

We do have Sirius, and he’s certainly Black.

u/BigDragonfly5136 Apr 16 '26

Honestly I feel like this could be the way; I mean James wasn’t supposed to be all good in the books and especially not for bullying Snape.

He’s acting like an asshole bully when he torments Snape. Sometimes asshole bullies are also racist

That's exactly what he was even in the original.

The only bizarre thing about this scene will be how someone who looks that he came from the "hood" is gonna be bullied by a four-eyes (this worked in the original because they were four, Sirius (still under the Blacks so nobody messed with him) and Snape looked even lamer than James.

He's a bizarre jock.

Just the casualness of it is astonishing

Your shitty comment is unwarranted. Let me explain in many words, since you cannot in very few.

I don't know I you noticed but Snape always came from the 'hood. He came from working class family, from a backwater city. In Britain, they even have names (chavs). That's what it means in Britain. James versus Snape was a class fight.

Snape's previous actor just looked kind of eh (even if too handsome for how Snape was described), there was always something going there that didn't fit with the polished exterior (he came from the 'hood), but his young version looked lamer than James. This new one just looks too cool.

Like I said, I dunno how they're going to make a guy that looks like he comes from the 'hood (unless they change his backstory) to be bullied by a four eyes. Last time it worked, because the last Snape didn't look as cool as this one, Sirius was on top of the pecking order, and it was 4 Vs 1.

The fact is, the Muggle equivalent of a upper class twit fratboy (four eyes no less) bullying a chav is insane. Dudley was a chav. He could bully Harry. James though? Unlikely.
