“I talked him through it: 'You are a double agent. But you do dislike Harry. You can't overcome your quite visceral dislike of this boy who looks just like your arch enemy.
This was when Radcliffe took the opportunity to reveal that one of the cast did know how it ended. This was the late Alan Rickman, who played Professor Severus Snape.
Ahead of 2000's Sorcerer's Stone, Rickman wrote that he was “feeling a bit nothing about HP which really disturbs me.” Per The AV Club, Rickman tried to quit after the 2002's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets—“Reiterating no more HP.
Snape asks Harry to take his memories to view in the Pensieve, and then says, "Look at me. You have your mother's eyes." The same scene plays out in the final book, but after giving Harry his memories, the professor simply whispers, "Look ... at .... me ..."
After instructing Harry to take the silvery memories captured in his tears, the dying professor begged the boy to look at him. Then, he delivered his final line: "You have your mother's eyes." This line wasn't included in the book version of this scene, where "look at me" were Snape's final words.
Watson paid tribute to him at the time, writing on social media, "I'm very sad to hear about Alan today. I feel so lucky to have worked and spent time with such a special man and actor. I'll really miss our conversations.
What did Daniel Radcliffe say when Alan Rickman died?
Here's what Radcliffe wrote (emphasis mine): "Alan Rickman is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors I will ever work with. He is also, one of the loyalest and most supportive people I've ever met in the film industry. He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter.
Bruce Willis was a fan of Alan Rickman before everyone else
Bruce Willis was one of Alan Rickman's most vocal supporters in the 1980s, calling his Die Hard character the greatest villain he's ever shared the screen with.
I was terrified by him and was like, 'This guy hates me'.” The British actor made the comments after he was played a 2016 interview with Rickman in which he sang Radcliffe's praises and said he felt “huge pride” over his role in Broadway musical, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
Alan Rickman did not count himself among the legions of "Potterheads," according to his recently revealed diary entries. Rickman, who portrayed the cold and mysterious Severus Snape in all eight of the "Harry Potter" movies, has never been afraid to criticize films in the past.
Alan Rickman did not have any children. He was married to his longtime partner Rima Horton, a Labour Party councilor, in a private ceremony in 2012, after being in a relationship with her for over 50 years. The couple did not have any children during their relationship.
If Snape truly loved Lily, he would want her to be happy along with those that she loved. Everything he ever did for Harry wasn't because he wanted to protect Lily's son, it was because he was still obsessed with his dead childhood friend.
Snape wasn't that cruel to Hermione. in fact he protected her from Remus when he transformed into a werewolf and even grabbed her wrists when she was gonna try to chase after Harry. He might've hated her but he wasn't that cruel to her.
Rickman's voice was actually the result of a childhood disability. His lower jaw was very tight, which caused his words to come out as indistinct and muffled. Fortunately for us, he maintained this drawl for the rest of his life.
However, out of the $10.8 billion, his total gross from the eight Harry Potter movies is $7.8 billion, which means his earning outside the franchise is around $3 billion. Alan was very humble and down-to-earth and always wanted to spend his whopping salary on his friends and family.
On 14 January 2016, he died in London at the age of 69. His remains were cremated on 3 February 2016 in the West London Crematorium in Kensal Green. His ashes were given to his wife, Rima Horton.
In an interview with Vogue, Watson reflected on an emotional moment of the reunion special where Grint said that Watson will always be "family" to him after growing up together filming "Harry Potter." Grint told her: "It's a strong bond, we'll always be part of each other's lives."
Theirs was a public-facing example of a beautiful long-term friendship. Though we can only know Thompson and Rickman's friendship through the interviews they gave, their frequent professional collaboration inextricably links them in my mind.
From: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter Thirty-One, "The Battle of Hogwarts", p. 511. Another fairly big character, another off-page death. Tonks' last words -- "Have you seen Remus?" -- are particularly poignant in light of how we next see her; lying side-by-side with her husband in the Great Hall.
"... have mercy..." Lily Potter's death practically set in motion the wheels for the entire series. She died at her home in Godric's Hollow trying to protect infant Harry, whom Voldemort was hell-bent on murdering. Lily's last words were an ardent request to the Dark Lord to let her little boy live.
That's who we really are." I believe James Potter did make some mistakes as a teenager, but overall he was a good man. Yes, he did bully Snape but so did the other marauders like Sirius - Remus wasn't really any better - did he stop James from bullying Snape?
