Lavender Brown, Ron Weasley's girlfriend in the Harry Potter series, sparked controversy due to a major casting change. Initially portrayed by black actresses Kathleen Cauley in "Chamber of Secrets" and Jennifer Smith in "Prisoner of Azkaban," the character was recast with Jessie Cave, a white actress, when Lavender became a significant character in "Half-Blood Prince." This whitewashing issue led to backlash from fans, who accused the studio. The casting change raised important discussions about representation and diversity in the film industry. #HarryPotter #LavenderBrown #RepresentationMatters #HollywoodDiversity #JessieCave #KathleenCauley #JenniferSmith #harrypotterbehindthescenes #harrypotterfans #harrypotter #harrypotterfacts #harrypotterfan #harrypotteredit
