Thanks for the quality!

I couldn't imagine an actor better suited for that role. He perfectly represents everything I imagined when reading the books.

Alan Rickman has one of the best cinema voices evar (not to mention his excellent acting).

I saw the first movie before I read any of the books, and since then I have been a Snape fan! No matter if he ends up being evil or good, Snape is the man! My hat's off to Alan Rickman!

I thought the films got Snape dead wrong. They have him vaguely menacing and cryptic. He doesn't even really act like an authority figure.

In the books he's openly sarcastic, insulting, and threatening. He's wickedly intelligent and disdainful of those who aren't.

Probably the main place the films fail for me is not in plot simplifications or ill-conceived action sequences, but the fact that characters like Snape and Dumbledore are warped beyond recognition.

Can I just mention how much I hate that the US version of the first film got the retarded title of '...Sorcerer's Stone' instead of '..Philosopher's Stone'?

The Philosopher's Stone is a thing of legend and intrigue, the Sorcerer's Stone just sounds ridiculous and cheap.

To rename the book because of fears of parent's/kids not wanting a book with 'philosopher' in the title, and not knowing of the legend is so pandering, so thinking the worst of the American public. I hate it.
