HBO finally unveiled the first six cast members yesterday (April 14), charged with the difficult task of bringing Harry Potter back to life for their ambitious 10-year-long series.
While the announcement ended months of relentless speculation, it triggered a tidal wave of reactions online, ranging from very positive to absolutely negative.
One of the actors who reportedly found himself the target of said backlash was Nick Frost, who is set to succeed the late Robbie Coltrane as the beloved Hagrid.
