Dan Radcliffe addresses ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Johnny Depp controversy: ‘Harry Potter’ kicked someone out for weed

Harry Potter star Dan Radcliffe has issued some criticisms against Warner Brothers and the film’s production team for continuing to employ Johnny Depp despite the allegations made against the Grindelwald actor.

I suppose the thing I was struck by was, we did have a guy who was reprimanded for weed on the [original Potter] film, essentially, so obviously what Johnny has been accused of is much greater than that.”

me @ danrad

I appreciate that he’s just very “you fired a teenager for smoking weed but you’re going to defend a wife beater? Thanks for the job and everything but fuck all of you.” 

Smoke Knights are EXPECTED by their family to be in Hufflepuff. They are pitied by other Hufflepuffs, because THEIR LOYALTY WAS GIVEN AWAY AT BIRTH! THEY NEVER GOT TO CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES! More than one Smoke Knight has found themselves pulled aside by a senior to be told: yes, I know your loyalty has been promised to another, but you still get a choice. And if you decide to choose another, know that you have our support. Mechanicsburg kids are seen as a Lost Cause.

Violetta’s always just “I’m considering it”. But then when she does choose someone else it’s with Tarvek’s approval (and matchmaking) anyway.

Mechanicsburg kids know they have a choice. They just never make any choice but Heterodynes.

Hufflepuff first-years are off-limits to loyalty courting. Anyone caught breaking this rule is going to face the FULL WRATH of the Hufflepuff 6th and 7th years. Mind control is forbidden – yes, all types of love potion are included in this. Anyone caught doing this is going to find themselves blacklisted for the rest of their schooling life, and maybe even afterwards. Lucrezia and some members of Tarvek’s family make mental notes not to get caught.

Slytherins have a bad reputation for going straight to mind control – which means the Slytherins that don’t are really pissed at the ones that do.
