Alan Rickman was the absolute perfect casting for Snape. Nobody else could have brought him to life so well and so true to the books.
Of the entire film cast I think everyone could have been replaced except for Snape, therefore it does make sense to be bold and try something different in his casting for the new show.
Indeed.
For many of us Harry Potter was a significant part of our childhoods. It’s a great story with a satisfying ending. There was incredible excitement for each book, and the films weren’t bad either.
The world is already miserable enough I’m not willing to expunge something that has brought me joy.
We absolutely should denounce JK Rowling and her abhorrent statements. I have no idea why people continue to give her a platform. She’s one of the names on my filter list because I refuse to let her vile thoughts be given any of my attention.
Perhaps it wasn’t true the books then, but movie Snape was a believable age to have been at school at the same time as Harry’s parents. It’s just for whatever reason the author made the parents ridiculously young
