Normally, I am not really into sentimentality. But as you know, the British actor Alan Rickman, died from cancer yesterday on January 14th aged 69.
He was known for his outstanding performances in Love Actually (2003), Snow Cake (2006), Sweeney Todd (2007), etc… and for his soothing warm voice. Mostly, and I speak for my generation, he was Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter-series.
Raise your wands, wizards!
Dear Alan, rest in peace.
