Thank you @jk_rowling for this unique character and for convincing Alan Rickman to portray him - we had the perfect Severus Snape. 💚
J.K Rowling responded to the fan and remembered the time she had thought of Alan Rickman after he passed away. She revealed that Harry Potter and Cursed Child has Severus Snape's first appearance with his back to the audience. During the dress rehearsal, she saw a long black wig and her eyes filled with tears as her irrational heart believed that when he turns around, it would be Alan Rickman.
In Harry Potter & the Cursed Child, Snape makes his first appearance with his back to the audience. At the dress rehearsal I saw him in his long black wig & my eyes filled with tears because, for a split second, my irrational heart believed when Snape turned round, I'd see Alan. https://t.co/qC3xxmwz3d
