mmmmm…..Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman, sexy voice

The other day I had lunch with my husband, girlfriends and my dad who was visiting from out of town; during the normal course of girly chit-chatting Alan Rickman’s name came up. Immediately my mind went racing back to the first time I saw him and went a’swooning.

It was in 1995 and the movie was a production of Jane Austin’s Sense and Sensibility, a story I know well and love. Hugh Grant should have been the budding “big name” star in it at the time but it was Rickman’s performance as Colonel Christopher Brandon that stole the show-and my heart. I was so in love. Colonel Brandon was so rough and tumble, dark and domineering, stern and severe-and yet, there was some sort of quiet desperation in Colonel Brandon that called out to me. It didn’t happen in the book, only in the movie. Rickman made the difference. It was amazing to see how strong and utterly weak a man can be at the same time and Rickman pulled it off so masterfully. It was a dreamy flashback, and just about made me faint away in my salad. Read More→

Dear Sara,

Severus Snape, living or dead? I’ve read the books, seen the movies, read everything JK Rowlings has said about Snape and I ask you, is Severus Snape alive?

Dear SnapeSnogger

In my opinion Snapes lives. He was a double agent, extremely paranoid AND he was a potions master, not just any potions master but one that was able to come up with an antidote for Nagini’s bite in time to save Arthur Weasley. The idea that he would not always carry anti snake venom potion with him is ludicrous. Even first years knew a potion master could “put a stopper on death”. His body was never found and buried. When Nagini was killed there were no leftovers of Headmaster Snape found spilling out of him. His portrait never appeared in the Headmaster’s Office as all are supposed to at the death of a Headmaster of Hogwarts. If the castle had never recognized him as a Headmaster it would not have permitted him to use the Headmaster’s Office while he was there. It had locked out Dolores Umbridge despite the Ministry having appointed her to head the school.
