Harry Potter Reboot Casts New Trio… But Snape’s Still a Disaster

HBO has officially revealed the cast for the Harry Potter reboot — and let’s just say, the fandom has… thoughts. Dominic Mclofflin is the new Harry, Alistair Stout is Ron, and Arabella Stanton is Hermione. So, are we finally getting the "faithful to the books" adaptation Warner Bros. promised?

Well… not exactly.

In this video, The Critical Nerd breaks down the casting choices, the backlash around a still-black Snape (Papa Essiedu), and the ongoing battle between source material loyalty and Hollywood identity politics. Will this reboot honor the books, or is it just another magical mess?

⚡️ Let us know in the comments: Is this cast a step forward — or a recipe for disaster?
