New Harry Potter Casting Controversy
00:08:05
|
|
| What do you think about the new the new this new oh uh that's who they want to cast? | |
| Yeah, I mean I'm all for it. | |
| You're all for it I'm all for it. | |
| I wouldn't say that there's any reason why they wouldn't be happy with it other than his face. | |
| But you can always put makeup on. | |
| So we should do like a white face. | |
| No. | |
| If you don't want to watch the new one just don't watch the new one. | |
| Yeah, you know. | |
| Alright. | |
| Well, well, I mean he could identify as white, right? | |
| Uh that's a little bit different. | |
| I mean, unless you want to bleach your skin. | |
| So you'd want him to explain if he wanted to identify being white, but not if he would explain. | |
| I don't have questions. | |
| Okay. | |
| But not if he said he was a woman? | |
| I mean, yeah. | |
| Okay, so talking about Harry Potter, so they're making a TV series with Harry Potter now. | |
| And they're casting the gentleman on the left in place of Snape. | |
| A lot of people are not happy about this because obviously he does not look anything like the character. | |
| What are your thoughts? | |
| It's been a really long time since I read the book. | |
| Like full on. | |
| I don't remember how they described Snape in the book. | |
| This is one of her drawings. | |
| Yeah, me. | |
| He's a white long-haired guy. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, like, personally, like I said, it doesn't bother me. | |
| It doesn't bother you. | |
| I don't care. | |
| But I can see how it could bother some people. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, like, I used to get really up in arms when, you know, people did casting choices like this. | |
| But then, you know, I remembered it doesn't take away the original product. | |
| If you don't want to watch the new one, just don't watch the new one. | |
| Yeah, you know. | |
| Alright. | |
| Like, well, I mean, he could identify as white, right? | |
| Uh, that's a little bit different. | |
| I mean, unless you want to bleach your skin. | |
| But can't he just identify as white? | |
| I mean, because he could identify as a woman, right? | |
| If he grew up with white parents, you know, in a white background. | |
| Sure. | |
| But so if a man grew up with a woman as a mother, a woman parent, he could identify as a woman? | |
| I think that's good. | |
| Okay. | |
| But couldn't just, couldn't that black guy just say, well, I have some questions. | |
| I'm what, you know, I'd say, why, you know, why do you? | |
| And, you know, if he explains it to me, cool. | |
| All right. | |
| You're not hurting other people? | |
| Watch it. | |
| So you'd want him to explain if he wanted to identify being white, but not if he would explain. | |
| Okay. | |
| But not if he said he was a woman? | |
| I mean, no. | |
| Okay. | |
| Because at that point, what is in his pants? | |
| Not concerned to me. | |
| You think that's the only thing that makes a woman a woman is what's in her pants? | |
| No. | |
| Like I said earlier, that it's a sociology construct, you know? | |
| Society determines what it is or isn't. | |
| I mean, if you look at countries overseas, you know, India has a whole section of genders. | |
| Like, they're gods. | |
| There's over a hundred of them. | |
| Not the gods, but, you know, the genders that they can be. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, I don't know. | |
| Like, biology-wise, maybe, maybe not. | |
| But, as far as gender itself, it's fairly sociological. | |
| Do you like Harry Potter? | |
| Uh, yeah. | |
| You do like Harry Potter? | |
| Have you heard? | |
| I've read the books, but I've watched the movies. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| So you know who Snape is? | |
| Yes. | |
| Yes, okay. | |
| Alan Rickman. | |
| Yeah, have you heard about the new TV series they want to do? | |
| Yeah. | |
| What do you think about the new... | |
| Oh. | |
| That's who they want to cast. | |
| Yeah, I mean, I'm all for it. | |
| I'm all for it, whatever. | |
| You don't think that takes away from her story and her own drawings about what Snape was? | |
| Well, you know, through the magic of Hollywood, anything's possible. | |
| Do you know who Severus Snape is? | |
| Do you know that character? | |
| He was one of the people from Slytherin? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Is that okay? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Just, you know, the popcorn questions don't really matter. | |
| This is completely unrelated. | |
| This is his character on the right. | |
| Correct. | |
| And they want to replace him in a new series with this guy on the left. | |
| JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter, and she has pictures of what she drew to look like Snape. | |
| These pictures. | |
| People are not happy with this. | |
| Die Hard Harry Potter fans, they are not happy. | |
| Well, that's my question. | |
| Why do you think they're not happy with the new casting. | |
| I wouldn't say that there's any reason why they wouldn't be happy with it other than his face. | |
| But you can always put makeup on. | |
| So we should do like a white face. | |
| No. | |
| We should not do a white face because these pictures are kind of gray. | |
| So I think it would be fine. | |
| Yeah, because graphite is a little gray. | |
| So you know what? | |
| You're on to something. | |
| Let me ask you this. | |
| Do you guys like Harry Potter? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah? | |
| Sure. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You watch the movies? | |
| Yeah, I read the book. | |
| Read the books? | |
| Read the books? | |
| Okay. | |
| Can you describe what Severus Snape looked like to me? | |
| He had very dark hair and very pale skin. | |
| He looked a lot like Alan Rickman. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Aw. | |
| That's true. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That is very true. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay, have you guys... | |
| So you can't make fun of him. | |
| Okay, well, anytime. | |
| Are you so polite? | |
| So polite to everybody. | |
| Okay, they're wanting to reboot a TV series. | |
| And this is who they want to cast as Severus Snape. | |
| Oh, I love Alan Reichman. | |
| Oh, well, that's different. | |
| Okay. | |
| I don't know who that is. | |
| His name is Papa. | |
| I forget the last name. | |
| Okay. | |
| Papa. | |
| Okay. | |
| I would love to hear him act and see how that worked out. | |
| It's not really my imagination when I think of... | |
| Yeah, I was going to say those are really big shoes to step into. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| This was the drawing of JK Rowling. | |
| She drew these of who she envisioned Severus Snape being. | |
| Do you think they don't look similar? | |
| Not really. | |
| It's not really fair because he's wearing a nice suit. | |
| So like maybe if he had a black cape on, we could have a different representation of how it would look. | |
| So. | |
| Well, how would you feel if maybe they did like a white face on him? | |
| Like they just painted him white to match the character? | |
| Would that... | |
| That only works in Wicked. | |
| It has to be green. | |
| It has to be green. | |
| Yes. | |
| Yes. | |
| Okay. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, I will take that to JK Rowling and HBO and I will send them your suggestion. | |
| You can also just let them know don't do it. | |
| Don't do it. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| I'll let them know. | |
| We love Alan Reichman. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| People were saying that they should cast. | |
| Sorry, that's someone else. | |
| That was a man in a red dress. | |
| I forget his name. | |
| Oh, you know what? | |
| He looks. | |
| He looks like Severus. | |
| Yes. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Right? | |
| Yes. | |
| Except he's Bratty. | |
| Well, that was only in that one movie. | |
| I know, but I just was like, stop being a brat. | |
| Like, seriously. | |
| I'll tell you what, I'll take him and Harry Potter if they erase the Star Wars movies with him in them. | |
| Okay, yeah. | |
| Can we do that? | |
| Yes. | |
| Well, it's not up to me, but you know. | |
| All right. | |
| Let her know we said that. | |
| Okay, all right. | |
| We'll do. | |
| Thank you. | |
| I appreciate it. | |
| Thank you guys for your time. | |
| That was a lot of fun. | |
| That is true. | |
| That is true. | |
| All right. | |
| Are you going to watch it? | |
| Probably not. | |
| Probably not. | |
| No. | |
| All right. | |
| Probably not. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I don't really watch TV. | |
| Yeah, that's probably the best thing. | |
| Yeah, I just, I really don't watch TV. | |
