> Steve V. Now, > > I am so happy that they cast Alan Rickman in the role of Snape. I have been a fan for years. Potioncat: One of the things Rickman does well is die. Falling from a building, drowning in the ocean, having his throat slit. He doesn't go quickly. I think Rickman is going to work his final scene for all its worth. I'm not sure I'll be able to watch. :-(
