Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.

It's been a couple of weeks now since the official release of the first teaser trailer for HBO's Harry Potter reboot.

And that means we've finally gotten a glimpse at what the show has

to offer. No more speculation, it's all there in plain sights, at least a lot of it. If I'm

honest, I have to say that while the show will never, at least for me, match up to the original

films, I was pleasantly surprised by a lot of what we saw. I've been cautiously optimistic

throughout this entire process,

and I think that the trailer on the whole made me feel a bit better about things. But one thing

the internet cannot seem to reconcile is the new Snape casting. After the trailer dropped, I did

a number of videos, breaking it down and pointing out small details. And the one comment I kept

getting above all

others was that I failed to mention Black Snape, with a few even accusing me of strategically avoiding

it. I didn't bring it up because it's obvious. I've also already made a number of dedicated

videos on this topic and in all honesty it's starting to feel a bit like kicking a dead horse.

I've maintained throughout the entirety of the HBO reboot hype that I don't necessarily

agree with the casting. But it's also not enough to put me off the show entirely.

That's just how I feel. He's a good actor, but in all truthfulness, I don't think he fits

the book description, one iota. For some, it will be

enough to stop them from watching it. For some, it isn't an issue at all. And for others, like me,

it's not perfect, but definitely not a big enough deal to prevent me from watching entirely.

This is a massive budget show full of amazing talent covering a fictional universe that I am

clearly passionate enough
