J.K. Rowling’s ‘Nagini’ sparks racist controversy in new Fantastic Beasts movie

LONDON: The next film in the Fantastic Beasts series is facing accusations of racism after the latest trailer dropped recently.

The final trailer’s big reveal is that Voldemort’s snake Nagini was once human, and she’s not like anything Potter fans have seen before.

As the trailer released people were quick to point out one problem that seemed upsetting to many. The producers chose to cast an Asian actress to play a role of a cursed woman whose future is to be a white villain (Lord Voldemort’s) pet slave.

Many twitter users didn’t hesitate to give out a piece of their mind about what they actually thought of the latest revelation and casting.

The final trailer released just two days ago is trending on Youtube at #6 Worldwide and has managed to attract  5,624,119 views since then.

The film is set to release on November 16th.
