Maybe somebody put a politically correct spell on the set of the new Harry Potter movie.
Last year, when the first installment in the series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," was released, there was criticism about its mostly white cast, that the actors did not reflect the racial makeup of the young wizard's England.
The second film, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," is to open Nov. 15, and the ethnic and racial range of the actors has broadened.
"I counted about five people of color, both children and adults in the film," says one person who attended a recent screening. "This is strikingly more than I remember from the first one."
Warner Bros., the studio behind the adaptations of the planned seven-book children's series (four have been published thus far), acknowledges a difference in the casting of "Chamber of Secrets" but denies that it was in response to criticism. [yea right]

There are PLENTY of 100% all black movies and TV series made in the US! Last I checked the US is 13% black! How come no one ever slammed these for being too black??? And what?s more Harry Potter wasn?t even 100% White!! There were quite a few non-Whites (which obviously stood out)
When will people say enough is enough. They were complaining about lord of the rings being too white! I swear to the gods if they do that to Lord of the Rings I will not be held responsible for my actions!!
But Good thing LOTR has already been so THEY will be less likely force them to add non-Whites. LORT rings maybe one of the last all white films that will be allowed to be made
!!
:D:D
