The Internet Just Cast an All Black Harry Potter and It Looks Incredible

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard that a Black actress has been cast as Hermione Granger in the new upcoming Harry Potter theater production.
Noma Dumezweni (middle) will be starring in the coveted role, and though some people have a problem with racial progress, support and praise for the decision has been coming in droves — even from Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling.
In the spirit of racial progress, some brilliant creatures on Twitter created the hashtag; #BlackHarryPotter, that imagines what an entirely black cast of the popular book series would look like. Here are some of the inspired suggestions:
Albus Dumbledore
Harry Potter (or Dean Thomas again...)
Ginny and Ron Weasley
Fred and George Weasley
Hagrid and Dobby
Lily and James Potter
Arthur Weasley
Gilderoy Lockhart
Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle
And of course... the Sorting Hat
Bravo, Twitter.
