So what is everyone's thoughts on these new character posters?!
> The light (left) and the darker (right) side of the faces shows a contrast between the start and end of the first series? (contrasting lighter happier emotions, with darker heavier emotions in the future)
> The subtle change of micro expressions in the face also show (left) happier face contrasting with a more slightly negative face (right).
> Some criticisms say the tri0 look to uncanny, almost like video game renders/AI or to many heavy filters that don't portray real images of real people

HBO's #HarryPotter showrunner Francesca Gardiner says "it's appalling" that Paapa Essiedu is being "subjected" to racist "abuse" online after being cast as Snape.

“He has handled it with incredible grace, and I have nothing but the greatest respect for him…. Paapa has absolutely nailed the role, and it is that performance that deserves our attention.”

Radcliffe said he has no advice for McLaughlin as he takes on the role that Radcliffe originated and played over the course of all eight Harry Potter films.

“I’m really truly in the business of not giving Dominic advice. He’s got it. He doesn’t need any advice from me. If I say something to you, then the next interview people have with him, they’ll be like, ‘Oh, and Dan said you should do this,’ and I’m like, I don’t want to haunt this poor child through interviews,” Radcliffe said.

@Gelbspoetter_4 Most welcome, I am still glad I attended the event of course.

My thoughts on the Harry Potter Oxford Christmas light event: (I understand this was an event for the general public and they didn't promise any new reveals for the series!)
Negatives⤵️
> The dialogue on stage between hosts was so cringe.
> There was a 30 - 40 min DJ set that had no relevance to Harry Potter at all.
> The pre-recorded interviews they showed from some of the cast asked them questions that had nothing to do with the series? (No news/insights/details that we didn't already know)
> They played the same trailer we had already seen. (they could have easily shown a couple of new images)
> When the button was pressed to turn the lights on half of them didn't work right away there was a 20 second delay.
Positives⤵️
> Being surrounded by thousands of Harry Potter fans and experience a magical atmosphere.
> The last 10 minutes of the show was awesome when they brought out Nick Frost/Warwick Davis to turn the lights on.

@willmgreenhalgh Yes and I support their right to free speech, I have never said they should be denied the right to protest.
