Rumours are swirling that British actor Paapa Essiedu is closing his deal to play Professor Severus Snape in the upcoming Harry Potter TV series, a role previously portrayed by the late Alan Rickman.

These rumours have created a lot of controversy for the Potterverse with reactions ranging from concerns about book accuracy to broader cultural and political alignment.

 

In the books – Snape is described as "a thin man with pale, sallow skin, a large, hooked nose, and yellow, uneven teeth. He has shoulder-length, greasy black hair which frames his face, and cold, black eyes,”… while Essiedu is an extremely handsome black man. 

A majority of fans have said that the characters in the reboot should be a true portrayal of the books, while others have voiced Snape is just a character and it should not matter. 

Ali still thinks Adam Driver would be the perfect Snape.
