[@elisre4391]

I love how he played that scene. The way Snape lowers the wand for a fraction of a second when facing McGonagall is down right triple-agent. He knows he won't appreciate if the he ends up hurting a fellow colleague but he can't back away from his death eater role so he just flees the castle. It's very well played and consistent with the caracter. RIP Alan. What a great actor.

[@elisre4391]

there's an extra "the" in there... sorry

Thanks for your input. You can always edit your post by lingering your cursor in the extreme upper right corner of your post; I have 3 small vertical dots on mine.

Also he casually took out the Carrows while doing it. Wonderful scene.

[@Paintballpro18]

Going to the lowering wand comment, he also never attacks AND deflects 2 of them into "fellow" death eaters. I'm wondering if Professor Mcgonagall ever picked up on this though as I would assume that they had been working together for 15+ years, she would know a lot about the ex-potions/ex-DA/headmaster. Not attacking once and fleeing? That's some high ranking positions to give across Hogwarts and yet seem to not be able to duel. Props to everyone in the movies, and even more so to the ones that had to fill incredibly complex rolls such as Alan Rickman. You know you performed the part masterfully when even audio book readers attempt to impersonate the voice and don't even TRY to create a different one

i love how snape obviously didn't want to hurt anyone at Hogwarts. He looked very sad when killing Dombeldore, very apologetic when they were having a meeting with voldemort and a Hogwarts teacher was killed and even during this scene with McGonagall, he only defended himself but never attacked her and even attracked the fire she was throwing at him to kill the 2 death eaters behind him, never once attacking her. It really showed where his heart was even tho his past was a death eater ..

[@Grigsy]

He was the only character in the movies that was better than what was written in the books.

[@cecaloather8701]

I would say Umbridge is better portrayed in the movie. Imelda Staunton did a wonderful job with her.

[@anastasialem6866]

Jason Isaacs aka Lucius Malfoy too

[@michaelbrennan6123]

You watch that scene and you can see the mixed emotions in Snape. The anger that people think he is so evil to have betrayed Dumbledore, the courage he has to know that he is working to defeat Voldemort, and the anguish that he feels seeing Lily Potter’s eyes filled with hate for him never knowing he loved her. Alan Rickman was brilliant in the scene. Could anyone else have played that? I doubt it.

[@amosmaka6030]

One of my favourite lines from Snape was: "Turn to page three hundred and nine-ty four" - Snape

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

I don’t understand why Snape was scary to some people. I always loved him. From the very beginning. He was the most interesting and enigmatic and fascinating character in the entire films. Every time he was on screen, he smoldered. I knew he was tortured, tragic, yet he had goodness in him. Long before the movies revealed just that. I could see it in him. A kind of simmering power and great burden of soul but also good yet tortured and very, very smart. And much more than met the eye. Yet GOOD. No one, NO ONE believed me. Until the very end. Thank you Mr. Rickman for such an iconic, unbelievably incredible performance and playing a character that no one could have gotten exactly right but you. You will be forever missed, and always loved, and always my favorite Harry Potter character. Always. ❤️

[@nickthompson7369]

Snape was way more of an asshole in the books. They turned him down a notch in the films

[@ms.krys2835]

Same. He’s always been my favorite character from the beginning.

[@JenamDrag0n]

You never read the books, did you? He was unjustifiably nasty and unfair in the books to all students (save those in Slytherin), not just Harry, and there are several scenes that are either cut completely from the movies are modified such that they don't carry the full impact of how awful he's really supposed to be or how untrustworthy we're supposed to think he is until we finally see his memories that prove his loyalties at the end of book 7. Best example off the top of my head of such modification is in book 6 during the scene when Narcissa went to Snape to ask his help for Draco's sake. In the movie, that scene was just about getting his help, but in the book, Snape gave an answer to every instance of questionable loyalty (to Bellatrix who was distrustful of him) including: why Snape never sought out Voldemort after his fall, why Snape prevented Voldemort from stealing the Philosopher's Stone, why Snape didn't come immediately to Voldemort's side when he was first summoned after his rebirth, why Snape didn't help fight at the Ministry, and why Harry was still alive after having been at Hogwarts near Snape for five years. In hindsight, we know his answers were the lies he used to stay in Voldemort's good graces to be an effective spy, but at the time of reading, we did not have any idea if these were lies or truths because we didn't know why Dumbledore was so certain that Snape was trustworthy.

[@generalpublic3744]

All credit to Rowling who brought out the nature of the character which Rickman encapsulated so well.

[@Ironhold_Watch]

Guess none of y'all watched die hard

[@grabyourlantern]

It's hard to overstate how amazing he was in this role, how much of himself he added to it. This scene in particular is so powerful. You can see in his face the moment Minerva steps up, how he would never ever want to do her harm, and not only is he so strong he deflects her attacks INTO the death eaters standing behind him, no looking, and before they could react. 10 out of 10.

[@Chuck0856]

[@beachgirl4583]

What’s weird to me is seeing Alan Rickman in costume as Snape, after first seeing him in Die Hard, and then so many other films where he basically looked like himself. He’s so much better looking than Snape.

[@TheNin-Jedi]

The funny thing about Snapes character is that from the first movie you kind of knew he was a decent guy because he was doing the counter curses to save Harry from the cursed Broom. Yet between 6 other movies its easy to forget that. For me even without seeing the last movie I knew something was up because he was always doing things to prepare or protect Harry and other students.

[@RiamWaewalee]

thank you for playing an awesome Snape. Total class act and truly talented-sad news about Alan Rickman.Gone but never forgotten.

RIP Alan Rickman. He was such a great actor.

[@EvelinaNinudottir]

2:00 I wonder if that "little piece of information" could be the secret that Snape was in love with Lily Potter. It certainly does add a lot of depth and warmth to a seemingly cold and hateful character, and it also could reveal several layers of Severeus Snape. It would explain why he so much despises Harry, as HE was the one the Dark Lord wanted to kill, but then Lily died (unnecessarily) instead - yet, it also would hint to the fact that there might be a part of Snape that feels protective of Harry. It could hint to how Severus Snape (from the point of Lily's death) no longer wishes to be a truthful Death Eater, as his previous Lord proved by murdering the Potters that he has no respect or understanding for love, and that the Dark Lord feels no empathy for Severus' loss - even though the he KNEW that Snape was in love with Lily. In other words, it leaves the door open for the possibility that Snape would want to avenge Lily's death by making sure that the Dark Lord never reached his goal - by protecting Harry while seeming to serve the Dark Lord. That is just my guess, though.

[@inmysoul_TLH]

Evelina Rønneseth it is. After his death JK Rowling posted on twitter what she told him and it was the small info about being in love with Harry's mom :)

[@beachgirl4583]

Your “guess” is spot on, though another layer was Snape’s hatred of James, who bullied him. Harry looked a lot like James, but with Lily’s eyes. Looking at his face must have been heartbreaking for Severus.

[@Harbinger57]

Rowling actually revealed after his passing what small piece of information she had secretly told Rickman. "Always."

I think only Rickman could has done this so successfully.

[@GoldenKaos]

Daniel's acting comes across as wooden a lot of the time.

[@rachelbullock8]

Gold Snake his character was also very straight forward. i think he acts exactly like jk rowling had harry act. i don't think the role really gave him a chance to show off his acting ability because it's not like his role really took much skill to master imo. i don't think people give HBC enough credit for the way she made a small role have such a huge impact in the movies. i don't think anyone could've played bellatrix better than her. it's actually kind of scary how well HBC and Alan executed their roles.

[@GoldenKaos]

I disagree. Harry was a fairly emotional and hot-headed character, plenty of space for showing off acting ability. Radcliffe's attempt at emotions and even some basic interactions feel forced and wooden.

[@rachelbullock8]

Gold Snake eh i think his character was pretty straightforward. he acted the same throughout the entire series compared to someone like snape. i guess i should've explained myself better. but yeah there were times where it seemed like he was trying to be funny and when he tried to at mad it was weird and not genuine. like it was so obviously staged that it was funny to me.

FuzedBox LMAO!

[@marie3049]

man thats what i thought !!

[@theUroshman]

He should have won an Oscar for the role of Snape! There's no one who could have played it better than he did. He was just a perfect Snape! He was an amazing actor in all the roles I have seen him, but his Snape was just out of this world! RIP Alen Rickman!

[@ciarafirth6784]

Why didn’t he?

[@ciarafirth6784]

Sunny Sunny thank you so much I was wondering that.

[@ciarafirth6784]

Sunny Sunny that’s very sad!

​@Baldur In 1977, Beatrice Straight became the Oscar winner with the shortest amount of screen time. During the 49th Academy Awards, Straight was named Best Supporting Actress for her brief-yet-powerful performance as Louise Schumacher, the jilted wife of William Holden’s character in Network.

[@theUroshman]

@Baldur Many experts and ordinary movie goers agree that he "stole" many movies in which he starred (including all 8 HP ones, Die Hard from Bruce Willis, Robin Hood from Kevin Costner and many more) from the main actors with 1/10th of the screen time.

Rip alan rickman. You'll be missed

[@le2zruWtaR8DauQ3]

+LegitimentGamerz how everyone now searchs alan rickman videos just to be the first one to comment with "rip alan"

[@mariannakiwow]

+le2zruWtaR8DauQ3 we don't search these videos in order to be the first to comment "RIP". We search the videos because we're sad and we miss him. We express how we feel about this amazing person and actor. How's that a problem for you?

[@LegitimentGamerz]

***** Well they dont wont to comment it on a Nissan car advert.

[@thegummybearshow2475]

+le2zruWtaR8DauQ3 no! You must lead a very sad life for that to even enter your mind!

[@dojiorangejuice2543]

Absolutely heartbroken. My favorite actor of all time. One of my bucket list items was to someday meet him. You will be terribly, terribly, missed, you silver-voiced, beautiful man.

[@mariamintcheva8359]

It was also my lifetime wish :( Im so sad. :(

[@AmyJayOnTheWay]

Maria Mintcheva Me too, Maria. :( At least we have his wonderful films to watch and enjoy and to share with our children and grandchildren.

[@mariamintcheva8359]

+Amy Jay Yes. :) This man has... ouch.. had :( charisma, he was a skilled actor.. :( R.I.P ❤😭

[@selenamartins5513]

+Amy Jay God, me too Snape/s by far my favourite character and I wanted to meet him so bad ugh RIP Alan you will be missed X

[@toni123456ify]

It was mine too, there was that smallest chance one day that we cud have met him, and now that chance has gone. I'm absolutely devasted that he has died. I genuinely thought that it was a hoax when i went on the 4music website. i was devasted when i found out he had really died. His fans might not have known him personally but his death is going to and has it us hard too. #ALegendForever. #RIP
