Much Snape in Book 6 means the potential for much Alan Rickman on the big screen in extra-dour form.

(sigh)

How many years away is that?

Too many. By the time 6 comes around, I fear Rickman will be nearing 70 instead of 60, and his jowls by then will be uncanny! Why did he have to get old man British jowls? Yes, he's still attractive. And more so in the third film than in the second, where I thought he might actually be sick! Poor, puffy Rickman. Still, sometimes I'm tickled by the fact that they cast amazing actors, all of whom are too old for their roles. I think only Thewlis is actually close to the age Remus is supposed to be. I think Snape, Sirius, and Remus are all supposed to be 38 when Harry gets to Hogwarts, or in the vicinity of 40.

Man, just think of an Alan Rickman around the time of Die Hard, Robin Hood, or even Sense and Sensibility being cast as Snape.

At least we'll always have the voice, even if the jowls are dragging on the floor come Book 6 time.

So Harry has probably decided to be an Auror, which means he has to go into Advanced Potions....Good. I'd miss the snarky Snapeisms.

Is that a penseive they're looking into?

That is what I thought too. I wonder what Dumbledore is showing him...his past or something else. I would like to see Harry become an Auror, it would suit him.

I am still trying to decide how & where to buy the book. Since I don't wish to brave the crowds at the local bookstores it will probably be off to Amazon for me. At least I have something to look forward to on July 17th.

I'll take the "Closetland" Rickman. Please?

One of my favorite movies of all time. Even Madeline Stowe was great in that.

Ah, 1991 was such a good year for Rickman. Hated Prince of Thieves, but loved his Sherrif. Truly Madly Deeply. Close My Eyes.

Yes, a very good year. Heeeee.
