The internet went into meltdown recently after the next chapter in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise was announced - a new instalment of the much-loved wizarding story that’ll take to the stage in 2016.
Some corners of the Potter fandom weren’t too thrilled to learn that their idolised Hermione Granger (played on the big screen by Emma Watson) was to be portrayed by award-winning Swaziland-born actress Noma Dumezweni.
‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ is a sequel to the fantasy fiction written by J.K. Rowling, following Harry and his son with the former’s now a grown man.
After a backlash over an actress of a different ethnicity now playing Hermoine, Watson was quick to show her public support for Dumezweni on Twitter.
