Welcome back to YA Onscreen! Let's hop to.
This week the casting was announced for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the theatrical sequel written by JK Rowling that will open in London's West End in summer 2016.
We’re thrilled to confirm Jamie Parker, Noma Dumezweni & Paul Thornley will play Harry, Hermione & Ron #CursedChild pic.twitter.com/s1rsDbrXMO

As one might expect, idiots and bigots balked at the notion of a black Hermione, played by the talented Noma Dumezweni, and JK Rowling responded in THE PERFECT WAY, reminding us all that she is wonderful and also it's weird that we all just assumed Hermione's white.
Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione �� https://t.co/5fKX4InjTH
