Ahead of their publication next week, The Guardian has published excerpts from the personal diaries of the late British acting legend Alan Rickman which will be released in the form of a book titled “Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman” on October 4th.
One of the most talked about bits is the actor’s relationship with one of his most famous latter roles – that of Severus Snape in the “Harry Potter” franchise. The actor portrayed the character across eight films and ten years from 2001 to 2011 and was initially reluctant to accept the role for fear of being type-cast.
He wasn’t a fan of the first films either, saying the first movie “acquires a scale and depth that matches the hideous score by John Williams”. He even tried to exit the series prior to “Prisoner of Azkaban” and was clearly unhappy.
At one point, he says: “I realize as soon as [Snape’s] ring and costume go on – something happens. It becomes alien to be chatty, smiley, open. The character narrows me down, tightens me up.”
Rickman’s advanced knowledge of Snape’s fate from Rowling however seemingly impacted his portrayal of the Head of Slytherin House. In a diary entry penned in 2007, he revealed why he decided to stick with the role even after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years prior: “One small piece of information from Jo Rowling seven years ago – Snape loved Lily [Potter, Harry’s mother] – gave me a cliff edge to hang on to.”
Rickman ultimately lost his battle with said cancer in 2016, passing away at 69 years old.
