Hey, I'm Curious What Everyone Is Thinking About Who Should Be Cast For Snape In The Upcoming TV Show.

Hey, I'm curious what everyone is thinking about who should be cast for Snape in the upcoming TV show.

I know that Adam Driver is a popular fancast but I personally think that he doesn't fit my criteria.

I'm sure he would do wonderful in the show but I just think he's a bit too old (he's 40 and Snape is 31) and also he's an American actor and I'd prefer a British or British-adjacent actor.

So I want to hear who you would cast for Snape if you had the power.

My personal choice is Philippe Spall but I'm not too firm in that. I just saw him in The Witcher and I thought he looked like Snape.

I was given a Snape doll for Christmas.

I guess I ranted about him enough that they figured I'd love to own a miniature version of him.

...and I do.

Can't wait for school to start so I can perch this angry bloke on my desk and have him stare disapprovingly at me while I do homework.

Actually, I can wait schoolwork sucks. 😡

Ps. I go to boarding school. Anyone interested in hearing about how that works?

Snape and Loki... ☺️

Hey, question about boarding school. Do teachers also sleep on campus?

No. They live in nearby towns. Some even live down the street. We have deans who supervise us during non-school hours. Some of the deans live in the school (which is very convenient for pranking). The deans are like our substitute parents but they act more like older siblings.

Okay, so the deal is that Jewish people were often linked to witchcraft.

So Jewish stereotypes became witch stereotypes due to anti-Semitism.

The big hooked nose, black hair, dark eyes, and olive skin that can look sallow depending on conditions.

That is a Jewish stereotype.

That is a witch stereotype.

That is Snape.

It likely wasn't intentional on JK Rowling's part. She simply applied a witch stereotype to a commonly disliked character when that stereotype is also a Jewish person.

Has anyone just realized that Snape's entire appearance is a Jewish stereotype.

Like... The fact that he's a Jewish stereotype and we're supposed to hate him.

Also, incredibly ironic that people compare him to a N*zi.
