'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child''s Hermione (Noma Dumezweni) Responds to Racist Backlash
FUSE TV - 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child''s Hermione (Noma Dumezweni) Responds to Racist Backlash
Racism still frustratingly runs rampant worldwide, and the latest bout of ignorance is targeted at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child's Noma Dumezweni. The black actress (who plays the adult Hermione Granger) has been on the receiving end of racist social media comments, and now she is speaking out about it.
In an interview with The Sunday Times [via Digital Spy], she said "My name is being tagged into stuff that's not nice, that's not nice." Dumezweni continued:
"It's ignorance. It drives me crazy. It's a limitation. Because this is absolutely a different form. Honey, I'm not stupid, it's a great story. I am a black woman who has been given this character called Hermione to play on the stage. But actually, we've all grown up with the books, with Emma Watson playing her in the films. Imagery is so strong."
