Fans reacting to JK Rowling's post on Alan Rickman
I spoke to sir Ian but never got the chance to thank you for speaking at his funeral. To everyone in the wider world he was a star, to us he was more. Our brother. Our mum would have been so proud of the respect he was held in. Thank you again x

Jo ... you’ve just broken my heart for the night. I remember what I was doing the day I found out Alan had passed away. I was in class, teaching grammar. Some friend texted me. I left school an hour early. Jo, you provided us with a family and Alan was very much a dear one ❤️

This thread of reactions was started when a Harry Potter fan from Italy had tweeted that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 would air and she was not ready to say goodbye to Severus Snape yet. She also thanked the author for convincing Rickman to play the part because he made the character unforgettable. Replying to her tweet, JK Rowling recalled an incident where she wished Alan Rickman was still alive. Take a look:
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
