Alan Rickman refuses to chat about 'Severus Snape'
11 Aug 2008
British actor ALAN RICKMAN refuses to talk about his HARRY POTTER character SEVERUS SNAPE for fear of ruining the magic about Hogwarts' Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts.
The Truly, Madly, Deeply star always attempts to change the subject when journalists ask him to comment on the Potter film franchise or the mysterious role he plays.
He tells WENN, "I never talk about Harry Potter because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them.
"I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it. Some child would read something I said and go, `You mean it's not in my head, I'm not imagining that.' So pardon me if I don't talk about it. Until it's (Potter film franchise) over, it should be left uncommented."
