        Stop it. Why do people care so much? When they write a book and then a film is made, or in this case a group of films, they they could have whoever the want. Nagini was invented in @JKRowlingss mind so she can cast whoever she wants. No one else

        Nagin is a Hindi/Urdu word for the female species of the Cobra, the male serpent is known as the Naag, the female is Nagin. I remember watching a movie in India when I was very small it was called Nagin and it frightened me to death!

        I have no idea who is what I was simply talking about the word Nagin! I have never read those books nor am I interested in the film. Am scared of cobras that is all!

        Why do people have to be so precious about these things?? She is an actor who was offered the part, accepted it and will know doubt do a great job. Why does race, sex etc have to be such an issue? Mad world

        The PC police are completely undermining what real ‘racism’ is. If you moan about everything, people won’t listen when you actually have something real to moan about. Alas ‘tis modern life I suppose.

        People literally make something out of nothing these days... @jk_rowling had nothing to defend here, nor anything to justify.
