American Actors in HP - Ethnicities in HP

[starjackson1]

I just wanted to mention that the HP series is set in Britian and 
Scotland, so the main characters in the stories should be played by 
British actors.  It just makes sence. And it is well worth 
remembering that, when the script did call for characters from other 
lands -such as Bulgaria and France - actors from those countires 
where chosen for the roles (Krum and Flur). If there had been an 
American character in one of the HP books, I can assure you that an 
American actor would have been found to play the part.

No one mentioned this point - but JKR characters in the HP series 
come from various ethnicities!  Today Great Britian is made up of 
Indians, Chinese, Africans, etc.  And JKR has made the school 
population of Hogwarts reflect this face of Britian. I love this 
aspect of the books! And all of these actors are also British as 
well - in keeping with the casting decision to have British actors 
play the British roles.

In light of the above facts, it seems strange to me that anyone 
would criticize JKR or the movies for leaving any ethnic group out.
