Harry Potter, the series: Warner closes the comments under the post of the cast announcement for threats and insults to the new actors

Harry Potter Is it untouchable? For years, fans of the most famous literary saga of the last twenty years have divided themselves regarding the transposition of the chapters in the various films to the cinema, considering that especially the central ones have betrayed or sacrificed several details of the books for issues of time and style. On the other hand, however, it is also true that the faces of the protagonists – Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson above all – They entered our imagination that it has become impossible not to imagine their face every time we take back the books and browse them. There was a need, then, a television series taken from the Harry Potter universeeager to be as faithful as possible to what has been told in books?

It is right that a story of great emotional and narrative impact as Harry Potter is told through new points of view, however it is evident that the public that is all too accustomed to using social media as a vents do not agree. Since Hbo Max has, in fact, announced the names of the three young actors who will play Harry, Ron and Hermione Insults and criticisms have arrived so violent as to push Warner to close the comments under the post, Following the same procedure as when the actors of Dumbledore, Raptor and others were announced – with great indignation of some for the choice of a black actor to interpret Professor Piton.

Leaving aside the fact that this preventive hatred seems mostly synonymous with obtuseness and ignorance, we ask ourselves: Wouldn’t it be appropriate to see first as if the actors will get by and then get an idea and, possibly, criticize them? If you think there will never be other interpreters around Radcliffe, Grint and Watson for the main characters of Harry Potter, agree: do not watch the series and go to the films of the films on the platforms, but insult three young actors simply for having won an audition seems to us to be a penalty worthy of an imperius curse.
