The world came to a standstill as soon as the news broke out about the death of British actor Alan Rickman, but better known by JK Rowling's Harry Potter character Professor Severus Snape. While tributes pour in, one of the best ways to relate to him is a letter he wrote in 2011, after the last recording he did as Prof. Snape for Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Who knew, this letter would become an emotional goodbye he bid before his departure!
Here is the letter, as it appeared in Empire Magazine.
"I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time. On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma, and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes. Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands. It is an ancient need to be told in stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo."
There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of Alan Rickman's death. He was a magnificent actor & a wonderful man.

My thoughts are with Rima and the rest of Alan's family. We have all lost a great talent. They have lost part of their hearts.
We are numb and speechless! Alan Sir, you will always remain in our hearts!
