Black Severus Snape Casting Is A HUGE Mistake

The upcoming Harry Potter TV reboot has sparked major controversy with the casting of a Black actor as Severus Snape. In this video, we break down reactions from Clownfish TV and Kaida, who both express concerns over this decision. Clownfish TV questions the change due to Snape's original pale-skinned description and explores how the character’s bullied past could gain unintended racial connotations. Kaida takes a stronger stance, calling the casting a shallow attempt at representation that alters the core of the character. Both voices discuss widespread fan backlash and argue that this choice clashes with the promise of a faithful adaptation. What does this mean for the series—and the actor stepping into the role? Let’s talk about it.
