The continuation after advertising
After the cinematographic saga (2001-2011), it is in the form of a series that the literary work of JK Rowling, Harry Potterwill soon be suitable for HBO and Max. For the time being, no actor is still attached to the glasses sorcerer, but we already know who will play his teachers.
AUSTI, a plus John lithgow (Dexter) and Albus Dumbledore et Janet McIser (Ozark) as Minerva McGonagall, it’s Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You) which was cast to embody Severus Rogue. A perfect choice with regard to his talent, but who finds himself in the center many criticisms.
The casting of Paapa Essiedu violently criticized
In question? Unlike the descriptions of the character in books and his various representations (illustrations + films), Paapa Essiedu is not white, but black. However, unfortunately, part of the public who does not understand the concept behind the word “adaptation”, is unleashed on this subject, considering this inconsistent and ridiculous cast.
But that’s not all, where JK Rowling spends his time criticizing transgender people and campaigning to reduce their rights, Paapa Essiedu is significant support from this community. A point of view opposed to that of the author who therefore motivated some Internet users to take advantage of this divergence to ask JK Rowling to seize the subject. According to them, it would indeed be a good reason to see her enjoy her status as producer of the series to turn him.
JK Rowling ready to turn the actor? She reacts
A disturbing toxic situation which, fortunately for the actor, should not have consequences. Aware of the complaints on this subject, JK Rowling took advantage of his Twitter account to make a point. And the writer promised that there was no question for her to have Paapa Essiedu leave.
“I do not have the power to turn an actor of the series and even if I had it, I would not exercise itshe said. I am not the type to make people lose jobs or their sources of income on the pretext that they have beliefs, legally protected, different from mine“.
If the atmosphere is also problematic today, even though the shooting has not yet started, we dare not imagine what it will look like in the years to come …
