sure. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 21, 11:30 27
- I'm confuse -- nm - ML Dec 21, 11:31 26
  - Rolwing gave it the thumbs up, good enough for me -- nm - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:34 19

      - lots of people apparently -- nm - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:40 7
        
        Not as many as if the races were switched. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 21, 12:13 6
        
        It's a good thing that more there are more people care about inclusion and representation than there are people who don't care about those things -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 12:23 5
        
        Maybe one day we'll be advanced enough as a society to look beyond skin color. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 21, 12:26 3
        
        It's one step at a time - such as with the casting of this play. -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 12:34
        
        yes, the long history of black discrimination against white people is a shameful chapter in our history -- nm - humbug Dec 21, 12:30 1
        
        *looking around trying to find someone who said that* -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 21, 12:32
        
        please think about the poor oppressed white fictional characters -- nm - humbug Dec 21, 12:25
    - Sure. I mean, I don't care--it's JK's character to do with what she wants. It's just an odd change from the books (putting aside the films). -- nm - ML Dec 21, 11:37 9
      - the books don't specify -- nm - zork Dec 21, 11:37 8
        
        I see that's what JK tweeted, but I'm also seeing an excerpt that describes her face as white. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - ML Dec 21, 11:40 6

        It's Harry Potter, not Othello. -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 11:44 1
        
        There must be moors near Hogwart's -- nm - zork Dec 21, 11:46
        
        could be. I only remember Dean, the Patils, and Kingsley being described as to their colour. - zork Dec 21, 11:43 1
        
        and the Malfoys. -- nm - zork Dec 21, 11:45
        
        I haven't read all of the books, but the verbage in my post below was from a picture of one of the HP books, and would seem to indicate otherwise. -- nm - The Death Sceire Dec 21, 11:39
  - just that plot-wise, it kind of doesn't matter. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 21, 11:33
  - In the books she's described as having brown eyes and frizzy hair. -- nm - mara Dec 21, 11:31 4
    - Well....and also..."Hermoine's white face was sticking out from behind a tree..." -- nm - The Death Sceire Dec 21, 11:36 2
      - Wow, Rowling must feel a total fool now. -- nm - mara Dec 21, 12:08 1
        
        Eh, cut her some slack, she can't possibly remember every detail she, herself, wrote! -- nm - The Death Sceire Dec 21, 12:19
