Always....

Celebrity deaths happen in threes.  Well this week I've counted at least 5.  David Bowie died Sunday, followed by David Margulies (the mayor from the Ghostbusters movies).  Today we found out about Celine Dion's husband, Brian Bedford (the voice of Robin Hood in Disney's animated film) and of course Alan Rickman. 

I am in shock and awe about Rickman the most.  Probably because I am most familiar with his work.  I mean honestly I've seen every Harry Potter movie at least 10 times. 

Being a book lover knowing what was going to happen in these movies before the movie was released I could feel kind of numb by all the things that were twists in the books.

However in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 the last scenes you saw Alan Rickman made me cry every time.  He delivered such emotion the last time his character Snape spoke to Harry.  "You have your mother's eyes."

Then when you see that his character loved Harry's mother he just utters one word "always." It kills me every time.

Today I've gone crazy with posting every good thing I could find on Alan Rickman.  And it's nice to see the Potter community revealing what a wonderful person he was.  Daniel Radcliffe wrote a long Google+ post on how wonderful he was.  It's nice to see that those young actors got such support from a great man and continued to get that support after the movies were completed.

So sometime this weekend (after my chorus retreat) I will be pulling out my Dvds of all 8 Harry Potter films to rewatch  them and in a way mourn for this wonderful actor with the booming bass voice.
