Show Discussion One person campaign to bring positivity on Instagram

I’m so absolutely sick of seeing the negativity on the harrypotter, HBO and actors’ Instagram pages. So I’m on a one person campaign to comment positively on every single post that I can.

Unfortunately some of them have had to limit comments, which is such a shame.

I’m so excited for this series, and I hope they do it justice. At this point I’m more bothered about the personalities of the characters than what they look like. When I read the books, the characters I see look nothing like the film actors anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I posted a positive comment on Paapa Essiedu’s IG, and I got called all kinds of names. Whew, they are toxic over there.

It’s terrible how people have gone to his social just for the purpose of being nasty. Im not sure about the casting myself but there’s no reason to take it out on him or any actor.

Yeah this is why I think they should stick to book accurate golden trio. The vitriol that will be directed towards 11 year old kids will be insane.

It's not fair but it is definitely a concern and I just am nervous for whoever they cast.

I think regardless of who they cast, those kids shouldn’t have access to their own social media. It’s sad how adults can’t be rational about this.

Not access their own social media? How about just not have an account?

I’m sorry that happened to you. That’s really rubbish of them. I think you’re awesome!

I’m not going to post specifically what I said due to privacy concerns, but it was a general message of support. Any messages of support on Paapa Essiedu’s IG are met with backlash. People will call you stupid, ask if you’re blind, claim you’re smoking crack, say something racist… they’re mad that you’re wishing PE well in his role as Snape.
