What started to seem like a cruel joke to the late actor turned out to have a bittersweet ending.
The late Alan Rickman had mixed feelings about his role as Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter franchise. His feelings about the worldwide phenomenon and his role in it wavered throughout his time with the franchise.
In his diary entries, recently published by The Guardian, Rickman’s devotion to his character was notable, but he was also reluctant to lock himself into a long-running franchise.
After attending the premiere of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 2001, Rickman wrote, “The film should only be seen on a big screen. It acquires a scale and depth that matches the hideous score by John Williams. Party afterwards at the Savoy is much more fun.”
