HarryPotter star Alan Rickman's diary entry on Dumbledore's death scene in the screenplay 👀😬 'The scene seems oddly lacking in drama... We don’t know — or remember — enough about individual characters’ concerns to understand their issues. Or care.'
Alan Rickman disliked one of the Harry Potter series' most climactic deaths in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Rickman starred as Severus Snape in all eight Harry Potter films, leaving a sizable impression on the series and its fandom as the intimidating professor and boss of House Slytherin. He died in 2016 of pancreatic cancer, and his memory is preserved by such roles as Snape, Die Hard antagonist Hans Gruber, and many more performances across film, TV, and theater.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Rickman was impactful in the role as Snape, and he was publicly grateful for his experience with the cast and crew. However, there were points of tumult, and he considered leaving the role to be recast after Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
The scene seems oddly lacking in drama — on the page — but that is absolute cause and effect of screenplays that have to conflate the narrative. We don’t know — or remember — enough about individual characters’ concerns to understand their issues. Or care. How Dumbledore's Death Scene Could've Been Improved The scene is actually dense with conflict, as the thought of Snape as double agent begins to percolate in the audience's mind when he does not expose a hiding Harry before committing the murder. This brief interaction between Snape and Harry, likely only fully understood by viewers who had read the books, doesn't pay off until the final book and film, when Snape reveals his true, good-natured intentions.
In the books, Dumbledore's death still comes by Snape's hand, but Snape never appears before Harry, keeping his turncoat status secret. Also in the book, Harry is powerless at the hands of a paralytic spell issued onto him by Dumbledore. The film's depiction of Harry backing down to Snape in this context is unlike his character.
