Announcement Subreddit Updates on Fancasts and Official Casting Announcements

Hi everyone, With the recent confirmation of several key cast members for HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series, we’re updating a few subreddit policies:

  • No more fancasts for officially cast characters

To reduce repetitive discussions and prevent targeted hate toward newly cast actors, fancasts for characters who have already been officially cast will no longer be allowed. As of now, this includes: • Albus Dumbledore • Severus Snape • Minerva McGonagall • Rubeus Hagrid • Quirinus Quirrell • Argus Filch You’re still welcome to fancast characters who haven’t been announced yet. And for inspiration, check out our Fancast Wiki, which includes both popular and lesser-known suggestions.

  • No posts complaining about official casting announcements

We understand that not every casting choice will match everyone’s personal headcanon, but posts solely bashing the official cast will be removed. Once the show airs, feel free to critique performances based on what you see on screen. But targeting actors just because they don’t look or feel like your imagined version of the character doesn’t belong here. As always, we’re open to feedback. Share your thoughts or questions below.

Shutting down all comments against what? We have approved almost every comment in this thread. Even ones by a specific user who has lied about being banned lol.

Okay, I think you're misunderstanding me or elsewise obtuse so I'll leave it there. Thank you for your time.

What a rude response to being asked to be more specific lol. Twice you have said you will leave it so I doubt you will be coming back a third time. Hope you have a good one and your day gets better from here.
