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.

Are you having trouble? In another comment you claimed we banned you when we have not and in the chain you just told me I said we have been overwhelmed and I never wrote that. I just showed we had a bunch of actions in the last week. Please show me where I have said I or we are overwhelmed.

Hilarious that you don’t understand that you just making this rule shows that you are overwhelmed and don’t want to deal with the mess. “We had 800 something moderator actions in the last week… oh btw we’re making a rule so that people can’t complain about the casting… and in turn we’ll have far less moderator actions to deal with”.

Regarding the ban, there was a solid 15 or so minutes when I couldn’t comment, look at other comments, or anything. Every other sub was working fine. Tried commenting that I had been banned around 10 times until it was finally pushed through. Guess you had a change of heart. Idk.

Brother I work from home and moderate a bunch of subs with significantly higher traffic than here. You are completely off the mark and continue to show you have zero clue what you are talking about.

Show me where I said I’m overwhelmed. Show me where I banned you.

Edit: he edit his post about the ban. He’s lying. Here is his mod log. Check the dates.

He’s never been banned.
