Srsly though, doesn’t she just seem exhausted, run-down and maybe even possibly a little (a lot?) drunk?

God, it’s just like a funny thing I saw once, except without the funny part. It’s like the inverse of satire.

And here’s why it and all conservative attempts to do this kind of humor fail:

Yep. This show has been terrible for years now. Only the first season was any good.

IDK about you but I insert the race of people I’m talking about into basic visual descriptions all the time. I refer to my moisturizer as my American white but ethnically Jewish white-passing face cream.

I think it's pretty clear that she wrote Hermione as white and that she probably just didn't think too much about it as her whole worldview tends to be that of a white, British middle class person. I agree also that it makes no difference if the gal who plays her in the play is black. Rowling obviously doesn't care…

Is it? What did you think about this then?

So did the continuity of the movies really get to you when they re-cast Lavender Brown as a white girl several movies in?

I bet the people who are rifling through the books for “proof” Hermione’s white are the same types who totally missed that Rue was described as black in the Hunger Games.

WHITE IS NOT THE DEFAULT RACE.

well Duh... Elizabeth Taylor was Cleopatra... so Egyptians = white

It’s a continuation of the story told in the books, not the movies. The movies (which had a cast that was also quite different physically than was described in the books) have nothing to do with this play.

“Hermione’s white face”

I’ve seen multiple people on other comment sections saying things like “im not racist, but I just think since Emma Watson is white, then Hermione should always be white.” I feel like there are way too may people that don’t realize Emma Watson isn’t actually Hermione.

These fools care SO much if a non-white person plays a white character but don’t have SHIT to say if the opposite happens.

instead of this BS debate can we all just gather together and be outraged about Ron’s lack of fiery ginger locks?

Personally I assumed she made a stew or a pie.

I’m not sure how everyone is getting my mom is a rabbit murderer. They just up and died. It happens.

Oh god. I had a german shepard when I was a kid that I named Nala after the Lion King. I loved her to pieces and fed/trained her. One day my mom told me she had run away, and for weeks I went around passing out hand drawn flyers and looking out the window.
