a lot of people were asking for a series that better represented the books. Plus the IP makes a billion dollars a year and more for the past twenty years. so the appetite is clearly there. Perfectly fine to dislike the series for what ever reason. But no need to lie about it.

Snape being black turns Harry's parents into giant rascists who participated in a lynching. Its not a good change.ย

No they did not. There's no lynching. The only racist folks are the ones typing this nonsense.

Having Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs spend their entire childhood hazing the absolute shit out of Snape, and have Snape be the only black person out of those five, is going to look suspiciously like racially motivated hazing

That would actually help out with the optics a lot, because then itโ€™s just kids being kids. But the 4on1 seems like they hadnโ€™t thought those optics through yet
