Re: Probably-white characters you pictured as non-white

[(Anonymous)]

I assumed that Harry Potter was non-white. I don't know exactly why, given that he was described as pale with green eyes.

I definitely thought that Katniss Everdeen was not white, but I'm not sure what race I thought of her as. I thought that was the intent, but many people seem to think of her as white, given Jennifer Lawrence's casting.

Yeah, I thought Katniss was intended to mixed race, and thats why it was noteworthy that she looked nothing like her very pale and blonde sister, because that happens in mixed race families (like my own).

I also de facto pictured Cinna as black, which was validated by the casting but based on the wank that popped up when the first movie came out, was not the most popular interpretation?

Re: Probably-white characters you pictured as non-white

I've heard some other people say they pictured Harry as non-white too, I think because jet-black hair is pretty rare for white people.

In any case, I don't think it's far-out to headcanon Harry as, say, indian or middle-eastern -- a lot of people of these ethnicities can be pale and have green eyes, especially if one of their parents is red-headed and green-eyed, or if they are mixed-race.

I've always had this headcanon of Harry being mixed race of east asian descent.

I feel like Katniss is actually described as having features that don't sound particularly white - dark hair, olive skin, etc. (Although olive skin could mean she's of Greek or Italian descent.)

She is.

Honestly that casting still pisses me off.

Re: Probably-white characters you pictured as non-white

Considering olive skin is generally counted as a version of "white" skin tones in most of Europe, it's very much a question of where a reader comes from, I guess.

I assumed that Hermione was black.

If I'm not mistaken the author has confirmed that Katniss is mixed-race in the books (which makes the casting call looking specifically for caucasians all the more disappointing, imo).
