Ah!
Honestly, I didn't follow the controversy and I was just making a bad pun here... As usual.

Its okay. In a universe where Rowling isn't a monster, I would have been excited for Michelle Gomez as McGonagall.

You see most of the younger cast from the original films aren't horrible monsters so they must be replaced.

Have they cast Lucius yet? I have a sneaking suspicion Felton is waiting by the phone.

Yes. It lead to Jason Isaacs going annoying actor brain about it. Tom will have to settle for peaking in wizard school on Broadway.

I dig this decision. Sure, they could've gone with someone new, but I also enjoyed Davis in the role.

Keira obviously sucks the most. But Matt and James?

None of these people need the money. For Keira, McAvoy, etc. I don't know what their reasoning is besides ignoring the bigoted elephant in the room and doing it to impress their kids or something.

Considering the amount of people involved, my guess is their agents presented them all with an easy paycheck and it's only a "voice role". Nothing front facing. Not needing the money never stopped anyone. Also this is a lot of people. A lot. Mr. Darcy is in there too.

I do wonder how many of them are aware of Rowling in general. It's a social media thing for the most part and I'm not sure many of these folks do that (I obviously know Keira doesn't). How legacy media presents it over there is insane. Still not an excuse. You pay people to know this.
