The black kid IS now Dean Thomas. Dean, whom Harry "sicced the snake on"  in 
COS, has gone from being a tall white kid with dark hair, to a short  black 
kid 
in POA. Why? Who knows?!?! But look/listen closely at the  "Boggart-in-
classroom" scene where the kid says something and Lupin  responds something 
like "That's right, Mr. Thomas". Guess they couldn't  get the original Dean 
back, so they changed  actors.



NO NO NO NO NO!  The original Dean is still there, a handsome  light black 
kid with a short afro, rather a dignified looking boy (with the most  beautiful 
posture - he's a good-looking boy).  Dean's the one who  responds to Remus's 
question in the boggart scene, not that heavy dark black  kid.  That other kid 
is a newbie and I want him OUTTA there!!  The kid  Harry "sicced the snake on" 
in CoS was Justin Fitch-Fletchley (I can't spell his  name, drat!), a 
Hufflepuff, not Dean.  Justin's white, Dean's black.   Dean's also in the PoA scene 
in the dorm when the boys are eating candy and  making animal noises -- his 
back is to the camera and he has a comic book (looks  like) in his lap.  He's 
also the one who walks through the ghost on their  way into Gryffindor Tower for 
the first time in PoA (while Harry and Seamus are  both saying the same lines 
about the Fat Lady:  "And she can't even sing!"  etc.). Dean is also at the 
same little table in Divination with Seamus, as I  recall, while that new black 
boy is at a table at the top/back level of the  classroom.  Dean's in all 
those group scenes, but they give the lines to  that creepy new kid.  WHY????  
Who's he related to that they decided  to toss him into the mix?  Does anyone 
know?  This is really bugging  me (could you tell??  LOL!)

So the mystery remains -- who the heck is that black  kid????
