[ptyx]

John Nettleship, the teacher upon whom J.K. Rowling based the character of Severus Snape, has died.

You can read more about it here.

I'm sad! He seemed to be a kind and witty guy. And wow, look at his pictures when he was younger. He was hot!

He does look a bit like Alan Rickman in that first shot....

[ptyx]

Yeah, I thought the same thing!

This guy is totally who I think of when I think of Snape.

[ptyx]

Really? I confess that JKR has totally confounded me here, because I thought Snape was an ugly guy, very skinny and with a sallow complexion. When I learned that she has suggested Alan Rickman for the role, I was like... WTF??? But now that I see how Nettleship looked like, Alan Rickman seems to be a perfect choice.

Euh non, je ne crois pas. Au début, elle avait suggéré Rickman pour le rôle de Voldemort et Tim Roth pour le rôle de Snape. Roth a refusé tout net, Rickman a refusé de jouer encore un rôle de méchant mais voulait bien faire partie de l'aventure HP...
Dès le début du tournage, Alan Rickman connaissait le rôle exact de Snape dans la saga.

Donc elle est tout à fait "clueless", c'est ça? Tim Roth n'est pas si beau que Rickman, mais il n'est pas laid non plus.

He was proof that Snape was actually a good-looking guy. I knew it!

[ptyx]

Yessss!!!!!!!!!!!

In that first picture he looks a bit like Mick Jagger. Only sexier.

He totally hits my buttons.

[ptyx]

I agree, he reminds me of Mick Jagger, too.

Yes, he's sexy, and his look is intense.

Awww! :(

I always thought he sounded like cool guy, too. And mmm yeah, if I had been his student I would've been so hot for that teacher!

[ptyx]

He did sound like a cool guy! Yes, me too...
