Who should play Snape in the upcoming HBO Max Harry Potter series? A lot of Harry Potter fans are outraged about the casting of Paapa Essiedu as Snape, and are making that outrage known online. They are commenting on every HBO post imaginable, begging the creatives to recast the role of Snape. One of those posts was an interview with Nathan Fielder, star of the hit show The Rehearsal. You’d think the comments would say something about Season 2 of The Rehearsal, but nearly every comment is angry demands that Snape be recast. To the untrained eye, one might think that Nathan Fielder was the person cast as Snape, which is an incredibly funny idea. I honestly think his social awkwardness and dry delivery would make him a pretty good Snape. He would look great with a black bob. If you want to see Nathan Fielder as Snape, these Harry Potter memes are for you.
