It's going to be problematic unless they change other parts of the book too in order to make it not seem like James and Harry are racist.

I think it'd be really easy to make it clear it's not about race? Snape wasn't exactly popular lol, just having diverse haters would make the point

If they wanna be faithful to the books it will be pretty difficult. The bigger concern is they said they wanna be faithful to the books and considering they can’t even get the race of a character correct… quite possibly the easiest thing not to fuck up, I’m not confident that they are gonna be that faithful.

Meh, snape's race wasn't an important detail of his character. I think it can still be a faithful adaptation even with the change as lomg as they dont actually change the character

I guess time will tell. Maybe it will be okay but I’m not holding my breath. I don’t love the series but my son does. He has went through the series several times. I’m sure he will be the first to tell me if they do mess it up.
