Are we finally going to talk about how POC James Potter does NOT make sense... I'm so glad someone finally said it because some of you guys are delusional. They want to turn him into their uwu cool boy so much they forgot to read the books

James was a rich privileged bullying jock in the 70s what the fuck makes you think he would not be white.

I have............ opinions on the new Harry Potter show, specifically the diversifying of the cast

Maybe this is me being overprotective as a poc myself but I really don't want to see white hp character become poc. Mainly because their whiteness is such an integral part of their characterisation.

I don't want to see a Black Hermione because her performative activism is very white savior. She canonically disregards the people she is protesting for and she just is privileged and acts like it. Like in 'Falcon and the Winter Soldier' Sam is a lot more careful around the law than Bucky, because well Black people tend to face harsher sentences. Hermione is canonically reckless now it would be different if this was just a flaw she grew out of but no this is a part of her personality. And one time commenting on how she'd rather be killed then expelled does not change the statement. Also Hermione has never canonically discrimination, besides some cheap remarks, she has not faced any real discrimination I mean she is regarded as one of the brightest witch of her time and heck she was lended the f*cking Time Turner for classes.

Also another discussion I have seen on the internet is a Arabic Harry and honestly I have no problems with he is great I love him. My problem is with his parents Lily is a green-eyed ginger she is undoubtedly white which leaves James f*cking Potter. Let me start this of by saying I hate James, his entire character is just of a rich, privileged, white boy who got away with all the harm he did, I barely even like Snape but James Potter just disgusts me. He canonically just approached another student, disarmed him and humiliated them in front of a mob by stripping him. He is nothing more then a bully. His privilege is what kept him safe, he should have been suspended but no if you as administrator are going to protect one student over the, protect the privileged perpetrator

#worst part is i barely like snape either! idgaf about him! but the james potter takes are ridiculous like be fucking serious #y'all: see a rich pureblood kid bully a poor halfblood kid with no consequence #y'all: see that rich pureblood kid's actions get excused by literally every character on account that he was just a silly teenager #y'all: see that rich pureblood kid have name belonging to a rich popular wizarding family unlike the snapes who were working class muggles #y'all: see that rich pureblood kid get praised about how good a person he was even tho we literally have receipts on him assaulting people #y'all: he's so indian-coded🥰#as a brown person #you can fucking keep him 💀#like yeah obviously brown characters are allowed to be entitled assholes!#but that poc reading of james when everything obviously screams white is so...ew #if ANYTHING reading snape as a poc would make more sense when we remember dumbledore asking him to keep quiet about the attempted murder #to protect lupin #not mentioning the no fucks given about his harassment before and after that #it was already weird considering snape's blood status and poverty when compared to sirius and james' families #wouldn't even be surprised if there was a layer of racism on top of that at this point. par for the course for hogwarts #but of course the tumblr girlies wouldn't headcanon a character that's not their uwu boy as a POC (regardless of subtext) lol #then again it might be for the best considering the weird number of times rowling describes how ugly snape is and how yellow his face is #not to mention the big nose and the greasy black hair. uuuh yeah
