Word in the industry trades is that HBO is coming close to finalizing a deal with actor Paapa Essiedu to play the role of Harry Potter's famous foil, Severus Snape. The only problem is that by race-swapping the character, producers are opening themselves up to all types of unintended "racism" in the adaptation of the show! The Salty Nerds talk about why this is a terrible idea and potential backlash of the HBO Series.

What did you think of HBO race-swapping Snape? Let us know in the comments!
