[@liravelasco3510]

I thought i'm the only one who love hearing his voice 🥺 I miss him : ( I love seeing his serious face and hearing his wonderful voice. It's been a long time since Alan Rickman died. 😭

Same i miss him so much

This voice ... 💖💖💖

come back

[@callmeolivia9732]

“It’s just asking for trouble so don’t be like Rupert and ask for a …. Well you know” that just got me laughing 😂 I love Alan

[@lorimoore9465]

I've never seen this before. I love that it was narrated by Alan Rickman. 😊 He had such a unique voice.

[@chloeknight3558]

It's absolutely extraordinary.

[@theworkyoffical]

He was one of the best narrators I ever heard❤❤

the music, the story, alan, his voice 💔 have you ever wanted to hug someone so bad even though you never met them before?

[@cinnamonroro]

I absolutely have. I still do. RIP Alan my love 💕😔

[@lorybell2196]

Same here. And forever

[@starlightoverlordofninjago6172]

YES!? HE’S MY IDOL!

[@rickmanfanforever6411]

Alan Rickman's voice was absolutely beautiful and anything he narrated was worth listening to. He is so missed!!!

[@juliegill6278]

He REALLY WAS PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!! I was just thinking about how I wish I could have met him and had a good old chinwag over a glass of wine. As someone who lost her own boyfriend to cancer on the 24th of January 2010, EXACTLY six years before Mr Rickman lost his battle, I understand what his wife is going through. My deepest sympathy to her and the rest of his family and friends.

[@Katiethatgirl1993]

lots of hugs to you, sweetheart! 💞

[@erinfaul8494]

This tale has so many reflections of lily and Severus like so many connections like all I see is Severus and with him voicing it matches it perfectly how remarkable his voice is perfect for story telling x wand raised for Alan Rickman /*

[@SnapesWife21]

Alan’s voice is so soothing when he narrates❤❤❤❤

[@joaniekeyser4036]

I just saved this to every playlist I have that is relevant, including "Everything Alan Rickman". I love Alan; he was a wonderful actor, and an even better man from everything I've heard about him. May he rest in peace.

[@Libra-v1r]

The world will never have a voice like his 💔

[@cherrryvanilla]

alan's voice>>>>

[@tazmunster7646]

Always loved Alan's voice.

[@athena8335]

Always

[@kurisuchiinu1206]

I love the story, the narration by the Great Alan Rickman and its symbolism... After getting hurt, we usually put up a wall to protect us from harm until it breaks down by someone.

[@mellttabor2134]

Love can break a heart but true love and heal it again.

[@hunkydory22]

i love his voice ;(

[@cinnamonroro]

Replace "Rupert" with "Severus" and replace "Jill" with "Lily". Prepare to be heartbroken that this didn't actually happen.

[@galaxiegirl5965]

Why!!

[@Shaw4Life]

Who would the other girl be?

ALAN RICKMAN!! Perfect for this story! Idk how u got him to do this, but what a gift to hear him again..

[@pamangery9753]

The GREAT Alan Rickman, I thank you for sending us your voice from Heaven.

[@starlightoverlordofninjago6172]

Rest in peace to Alan Rickman, he is the best person to play and be Snape, RESPECT IS MORE THAN A BILLION!

Nobody's talking about the enchanting eyes of the characters

couldn't have had a more perfect narrator!!

[@nataliesmore78]

his voice just brings me comfort

[@henrimatisse7481]

I love all the rhyme and the end, "you know". Mr Rickman

[@kimbrookes6120]

I really enjoyed this story of Love and how wonderful it is hearing Mr. Rickmans voice.

[@stiffk666]

I thought he was hilarious in Robin Hood. I truly miss him. Alan Rickman and Rik Mayall are the two most missed actors ever. I can't bear to think of losing Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen either. My heart would shrivel and die.

[@charlesjackson4132]

Cute and fun. The rhyming of the video was pure genius.

[@glitzarprincess627]

If only Snape's story had been like this 😢

[@meganpritchard3865]

I was thinking the exact same thing!!!

[@flidethechemist]

The second guy eerily reminds me of Lockhart lmao

[@zakthepenguin5106]

Just the way he has a deep voice and you can hear every syllable of each word, I think is the reason why his voice sounds so rich. For example, just listen to how he pronounces these words: 00:49

[@MHarenArt]

The only reason I opened this video was because Alan Rickman was narrating. And then it turned out to be a lovely story too!

[@feeberizer]

RIP Alan Rickman. You are missed!

This is definitely Severus Snape's story and Alan retold his own tragic tale of the love loss and tragic tale of his life love and legacy of severus and his queen 👑 lily

I wonder if I'll ever run out of new Rickman projects to watch ¿ I sincerely doubt it …
