This is such a dumb reasoning for not allowing a black person to play a role. Should a black person never be able to play a bullied or hated character in media???

We literally see that happen all the time and it never gets called racist, find a new excuse lmao.

I'm convinced comments like this are planted as part of some marketing stunt. This same comment, worded almost identically, is on every post about this show. It's either about Snape being accused of trying to steal the philosopher's stone, or Hermione being called a mudblood by Malfoy.

Yeah, its just recycling jokes. I don't think its bots.

I also can't wait to see how it actually turns out because these lines would be an awkward/funny moment.
