J.K. Rowling Reveals Secret About Severus Snape No One Knew Except Alan Rickman

J.K. Rowling Reveals Secret About Severus Snape No One Knew Except Alan Rickman

J.K. Rowling has revealed a secret she told Alan Rickman about his famous character Severus Snape while filming Harry Potter.

In a 2010 interview with RTE, Alan mentioned that J.K. had given him a piece of information about the character that affected the way he played the role.

“She gave me one little piece of information, which I always said I would never share with anybody and never have, and never will,” Alan said. “It wasn’t a plot point, or crucial in any tangible way, but it was crucial to me as a piece of information that made me travel down that road rather than that one or that one or that one.”

When a fan asked J.K. about the secret on Twitter after Alan passed away, she opened up about what she had confided, writing, “I told Alan what lies behind the word ‘always.’”
