"Mister Potter. Our. New. Celebrity..."

[aragarna]

We were at book 4. I didn't think much of Severus Snape - he was mostly a bully, a bad guy fighting for the good side at the time. But then... Then the first movie came out. And Alan Rickman changed everything.

Of course, Alan Rickman was a lot more than a Happy Potter character, but he was by far the best thing of the HP franchise. The moment he walked into that room, I was doomed. If I rooted so hard for Severus, it's was all Rickman's fault. He made me love Snape. Snape was a great character. The most complex and interesting of the Harry Potter stories. But Alan Rickman gave him yet another dimension.

If I own a Slytherin scarf, it's not because I see myself as a Slytherin. It's only for Severus. Always.


Also, Alan RIckman traumatized me in Robin Hood. And moved me to tears in Snow Cake.

I have loved him since Robin Hood. He was so deliciously evil. And, he was brilliant as Snape, utterly brilliant.

Two of my favorite Brits in one week, at the same age, to the same disease. Horrible sad.

I was quite young when I watched Robin Hood, he scared the hell out of me LOL

Very sad. Two weeks ago, French singer died at the same age too. :( Feels like a malediction.
