Fan Art Friday: Alan Rickman

In keeping with the tributes to actors who have passed on recently, 

I want to spotlight Alan Rickman today. 

He was truly talented, and his voice was so iconic. He wasn't dashing in the traditional sense, but the way he spoke and carried himself made him attractive and charming in his own way.

I was so happy to find SO many pictures of Alan. He had a lot of fans! I hope you enjoyed them.

The last two are my favorite. I like the colors and ethereal feel of the first one, and I just LOVE the scene of Snape and his patronus. I read the books before the movies came out, so I have my own vision of what the characters look like, but Snape will always be Alan Rickman to me.

Which is your favorite?

What was your favorite Alan Rickman character?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

My Thoughts:

-    The movie starts EXACTLY where Part 1 ended. 

-    Why does Ron always look stoned?

-    I don't think Harry and Lord Voldemort could feel the horcruxes be destroyed or sense them.  I'm pretty sure they didn't.  That was kinda weird for me in the movie.

-    I was impressed with the CG!  It really made the movie more thrilling.  I was like "WHOA!"  "That's cool!"  "That's creepy!" etc.  They did a good job. 

-    They didn't do justice to the whole Snape's memory bit.  I wish they could have spent a little more time on that.  It was good, but I wanted it to be heart wrenching and awesome!!!

-    I felt like they could have made one movie out of the two.  They could have cut out a lot of the camping bit in the first and combined the 2.  

-    I still like the books better, but I think they did an ok to good job with the movies.  Most of their casting was really spot on.  The editing in some of them are kinda crazy.  This one's editing was better, but there were some random scenes that I was like "what just happened?"

-    It is kinda sad, but kind of a relief that the Harry Potter series has come to end in both book and movies.  I enjoyed anticipating the next book, and I feel like Harry and the gang are long time friends of mine.  I'm glad it is over though.  It was time for something new...like The Hunger Games!
