The actor who plays Severus Snape recently spoke with Boston.com while promoting his new film Nobel Son. The reporter asked him a couple questions about his involvement with the Potter films: Q. Do children recognize you as Harry Potter's Severus Snape? A. Not really, because I'm generally not walking around wearing a black wig. Q. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" comes out in July, and later in the year, you'll begin filming the series' final installment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." How do you feel knowing that the end is in sight? A. It means that I'll be able to do more theater as an actor. I couldn't really because I never know what my commitment could be. Q. Would you ever do another film, knowing it could be six sequels? A. Only if I was provided with a wheelchair and an oxygen tank. Thanks to Scot for the tip.

Does Mugglenet know that Emma Watsn is the voice of Princess Pea in the new movie The Tale of Desperaux? Cause their email wont work.

Ganger345: Yeah theyve posted a few stories regarding it. Isnt the new Alan Rickman movie called Nobel Son, not Noble Son?

Alan Rickman is a great actor. He is one of my favorites. He is exactly how I pictured Snape. He adapts his character from the book to the movie better than any other in my opinion.

Alan Rickman is a fantastic actor. Ill really miss him playing Snape. Hes the male actor who can make his character seem real.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 18:23:43

I like him in all the characters he had made and the ones for the future I sure I will love for sure.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 18:53:27

lol.. i love his las answer... he is seriously the best actor i have ever seen in the hp movies... ill miss him :(

It is a pity that we will have to wait until July in order to see Alans brilliant interpretation of Severus Snape in the next Harry Potter movie. He is so convincing that I even overlook my wifes infatuation with the character.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 20:12:42

Oh Alan Rickman, you do make me giggle! Bravo, sir, bravo.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 20:20:58

Love, love, love Alan. He is my favorite actor of all time!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 20:31:32

Oh Alan Rickman, youre so subtly snarky. XD

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 20:32:20

wheelchair and oxygen tank........eh..........y ou are not that old Alan.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 20:37:27

I loooove Alan and his portrayal of Snape in the films. He does an awesome job of capturing Snapes personality and strange mannerisms... I love it. I will miss him so much after the films are over.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 20:50:41

I love Alan Rickman. Hes got a great sense of humour. Its too bad we have to wait until next July to see HBP. Im also infatuated with Snape. They picked Alan perfectly. Hes absolutely marvelous as Severus. He makes the Character come alive. Hes what attracts me as an Adult. if he hadnt played Snape, I doubt Id still be watching the movies. He makes it worthwhile for Adults to watch the films.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 21:20:44

I dont care what he does, to tell you the truth, as long as he finishes all the Harry Potter films!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-11-30 22:43:18

Oh my god, Alan Rickman is SO hot its not even funny. He pwns EVERYONE else in the movies. He is SOOOO EFFING HOT. Ive seen like all his movie. I love him. He is so awesome as Snape. :)

Thanks tjd8591. I wasnt sure cause I couldnt recall seeing anything on it, but I guess I just missed the stories.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-12-01 08:08:42

i really look forward to seeing nobel son which comes out in a few weeks but the half-blood prince movie... i really CANT wait for it to see alan, just seeing him in the trailers is enough to make me shout out loud. its going to be epic... I hope he picks up doing more films!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-12-01 08:31:26

Hahaha - hes hilarious! :D

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-12-01 08:41:23

Alan Rickman is cool. By the way, its been annoying me that the Trailers have NO MENTION of the potions book. The movie is called Half Blood Prince!!!! Maybe the book was in the trailers and I just havent watched them enough???

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-12-01 08:48:03

He was awesome in Die Hard.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-12-01 12:19:41

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-12-01 17:54:26

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-12-01 18:46:38

"Only if I was provided with a wheelchair and an oxygen tank." Thats the same thing that Richard Harris said to David Letterman shortly before he died :(
