Harry Potter's Neville Remembers Alan Rickman
Matthew Lewis, who played the role of Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter movie series, talked a bit about his memories of working with the late Alan Rickman.
For over 5 years we have been living in a world without Alan Rickman. This outstanding British actor has stayed in the audience's memory especially as Professor Severus Snape from the Harry Potter film series. His eternal seriousness and mysteriousness made the character was both feared and trusted - a strange paradox.
The actor was recently mentioned during an interview on the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast with guest Matthew Lewis, a 31-year-old stage performer who played Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films. The star talked about his last conversation with Rickman while still on the set of one of the movies:
"I went to his trailer. And I just said to him, 'Hey, I know it’s your last day, and I just wanted to say this has been incredible, to have worked with you for this long. I know that we’ve not really spoken very much, but I just wanted to say it was because I terrified, but you were incredible... Thank you for allowing me to work with you for 10 years and not ever shout at me or treating any of us as anything less than your equal.' And he was like, 'Come on in.' And he put the kettle on, and we had a cup of tea and we chatted about what I was going to do in my career moving forward and what he recommended I do."
Alan Rickman still lives on in the hearts of many people. A year ago, J.K. Rowling remembered the actor and his incredible talent, calling him the perfect Severus Snape. In addition, on every anniversary of the actor's death (January 14), fans honor his memory by sharing online their emotional thoughts about him, iconic scenes featuring Snape, or original fanart in his honor.
