The Prince's Tale (Severus and Lily extended movie version) 

Yes....history did repeat itself after all.

Read the book would ya? It says Dumbledore is not as worthy as Harry Potter to be master of death.

No, Dumbleore isn't a master of Death. Dumbledore represents Death, the one who supposedly gave the brothers the hallows in the Tale of the Three Brothers.

No, read the book. When James Potter gave Dumbledore his invisibility cloak, he was shocked, excited and then he borrowed and examined the cloak from James. Dumbledore think that is just a story and the three brothers made the three deathly hallow themselves. Fucking hell...

Read a few interviews of JKR, or watch them if you prefer. Dumbledore represents Death, the character in the Tale of the Three Brothers. These three above are the "brothers", and Dumbledore is "Death". Yes, I've read the books, but I've also gone deeper into them. I wouldn't be surprised if the did make the hallows themselves, though with everything that goes on in the Wizarding World, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a guy with the last name of Death who was a powerful wizard and made these three things, then everything else played out and the tale was romanticized.

Z7TomC7Z One of the best parts of the books

dai m Serverus snape loves Lily Evans. He wishes for Dumbledoor to protect her from Voldemort. But it failed and she dies. After that he devotes his life to protecting her son "The boy who lived" (aka Harry Potter) For 17 years he acts like he hates Harry. In reality he watches him from afar saving him countless times. Protecting the by who has Her eyes but looks like his dad wich makes it especially hard on Snape because in his school days James Potter(Harry Potter father) Not only bullied Snape but also stole the love of his life Lily. They discover Harry is the chosen one. The only one who can defeat Voldemort. But he harry needs to die in the end aswell. Dumbledore tells this to Snape. Snape then goes. "So we raised the boy so he could die at the proper moment, You have been raising him like a pig for slaughter" Dumbledore replies with "Dont tell me now you have grown to care for the boy" Snape Shows his spell te patronus wich has an animal kind of shape. And its the same animal as Lily her patronus. They say if you love someyone alot you get the same patronus. So dembledore says "Lily? after all this time?" Asking Snape if he still loved her after all this time. he replied with Always

dai m It explains Snape's motive from the very beginning: he wanted to protect Harry because that was how he could give justice and avenge Lily's death. Snape felt guilty of Lily's death because he was the one who shared the prophecy to Voldemort, not knowing until later that it included Lily's child. He hated himself for the rest of his life and the only way he could bring at least a little bit of peace within himself is to do the what Lily would've wanted; to ensure Harry's safety. His patronus (silver doe just like Lily's) revealed the ultimate reason for his actions; his love for Lily. Dumbledore was shocked to have found out that even after 20 years, Lily was still the sole reason for everything Snape has done. Just like us and every other character in the series, Dumbledore also underestimated Snape's capacity to love/how much he loved Lily. Dumbledore couldn't belive that Snape's purpose of living for the past 20 years was all for Lily.

wow wtf, didn't remember that was like this in the book :'( in the movies, they made Dumbledore a coldblood that didn't care much about Harry in this scene, he never had tears...

Yes, so much weren't explained in the movies, please read it. It tells a story about the history and psychology of humankind, even if it's about some fictional wizards and witches. :)

nah. i love(d) him from the beginning to the end and i think many others too.

Agree.Snape was the most popular character in HP since book 1.I always loved that fucking awesome character

i've always loved him since from the beggining. i've never hate him.

Realy. He was the best person I meet in Harru Potter. He protect the boy only for he's lover lily

Been gifted a statue of Snape making a potion and Dumbledore swinging his wand when I was a kid, wasn't happy though as my cousins had Harry Potter, Hermione, Ron and I much preferred those at the time... Now I'm grateful as they turned out to be my 2 favourite characters in the hp series, also the only two who really made an impact on me watching the movies.

my thoughts exactly

Wonderfully said. Thank you.

James Sandoval he's exactly itachi uchiha of harry potter universe

great writing, just as what GRRM did with Jaime's character

Nah, Lily loves more I would say. Snape was obsessed with Lily and the thought of redemption. Not saying he didn't love her. But there are other characters who could love more than him, if it is possible to quantify love.

I get it

I'm not crying. My eyes are urinating.

"Well, it may have escaped your notice, but life isn't fair."

His life was no more or less tragic than Harry's, but they both made different choices and Harry ended up being happy in the end while Snape was always alone. Life isn't black and white, and neither are human beings. Snape took the best thing to happen to him - Lily - and he pushed her away, he let his ideologies cloud him from true happiness. Probably, his dysfunctional parents and their constant fighting are to blame. But the choices he made were his own. Everyone gets what they have coming to them.

You know what is sadder that snape didn t have a second chance even that he desserved he just died withouth love or recognition. Maybe he choose his own way but he deserved a second chance. He was a Broken man

No that is not true. Snape's fate was in part due to his mistakes but also because he got dealt a shit hand. He had terrible parents, he fell in love with the woman who would one day conceive a child that would destroy Voldemort, he suffered from depression due to bullying, His choices were his own but he did not manifest his fate, other people did.

You're wrong :p The best happened to him: Lily. And she was his strength all the time, forever. That's how we humans are. :) One of J.K. Rowling's best moments in writing.

Much more powerful in the book, I must say. Then again, had the movie had a better director, maybe... Oh, well.. The music helped.

Damn, still brings a tear to my eye.

I just cried while listening to this score and reading this

Thank you

True, as sad as the "Prince's Tale" made me I was always really happy that Harry got to see those memories. He didn't have to die undercover. And Harry ended up having Snape honored as a Hero. Thankfully.

This is why Harry chose to name his son Albus Severus Potter. Two of the most devoted wizards whom harry could never forget

"Is this why we become agents? To play games, to chase after secrets that are rarely worth all the blood spilled on their behalf...To end up stabbed in the back, just when you thought you'd won, bleeding out in some nameless backstreet...With most people never even knowing who you were, or what you did, or why it mattered?" Simon R. Green Thankfully, with Snape they learned knew who he was and why it mattered.

OsiAnonymous I felt sad for him regardless. No one deserves to go out like that. Also, his dual nature was always apparent. He always seemed like a dick but his dickishness seemed to serve a higher purpose.

I knew there was love in him when he turned to Harry and said, "You have your mother's eyes." He's been told that by many people but the circumstances in which Severus said it made it very touching.

I have always liked Severus.

@@FirstLast-kb7kn He saw the eyes and face of the son he could as had n the wife he pups have needed an wanted if weren’t so obsessed oh the dark arts and dark magic.

I never read the books. But as soon as I realized that Snape was the one that saved harry from the enchanted broom in the first film I found myself to always root for the guy as a secret guardian, always protecting Harry from under covers and couldn't wrap my mind on him killing Dumbledore in the half blood prince until this scene came and I was relieved to see I wasn't wrong, although I was still less than right as he was much more than I thought.

High Cat Me too

High Cat This scene is definitely the most heartbreaking. The fact that we thought he was an anti-hero/villain all along, especially in the last few films makes it so sad. He has such an emotional story we had no idea about, all revealed in a mere 7 or so minutes.

High Cat for all those years, snape was hated by almost every single one. But that one chapter in the book/that 5 minute scene in the movie changed everything forever.

me too, it was the only moment out of the entire series that made me shed a tear, uncontrollably :'( the whole scene was so powerful, so well done. It made me go from liking the last movie, to loving it.

Same, it's brilliant.

Agreed lol

"Anything" means that he will and actually did any kind of stuf to protect her/them. "Always" means that he is dedicated to love and/or to protect her for ever. So i personally think that "always" is more profound, but everyone has his/her personal answer and opinion about the topic..

actually, in the book, he asked Voldemort only keep Lily alive. He asked Lily in change of Harry, literally.

+Victoria Moura i think that we discuss a different topic here. But i do believe that youre correct. Personally, i recall that he loved her and dispited james. Maybe he wanted to save lily in exchange with harrys life bc he might thought that harry was just an offspring of james so he might hated him already.

Victoria Moura No. Voldemort was already targeting and going to kill Harry, so he couldn't have 'offered' Harry in 'exchange'. He simply asked for Lily's life.

Nicholas hooper and alexandre desplat are the geniuses behind it.

Check out The Imitation Game then!

Imagine what could have been if John Williams was still writing the music for the movies....

Williams set the scene. Hooper, Doyle, Desplat made it better somehow.

I love the the buildup from 6:00 onwards and how it intensifies. Very iconic

Jay Honeck JK wouldn't let them choose anyone else to play snape from the very start. She always had pictured him as snape and he was flawless

Jay Honeck he's the best

Jay Honeck I wholeheartedly agree

I started reading HP after COS, and could not picture anyone else when I think of his character. Worst casting ever was the 2nd Dumbledore, for some reason I always picture Sean Connery lol.

Hello Hal... Sing a song...

Nope

Rose A572 um you do know what had happened to him right?

Neville Longbottom: Am I a joke to ?

Yes he was.

Harry too ❤️

Sirius: (pointing at your heart), he is here, you see.

It's the part of the scene where I felt chills and got all teary. This piece really contributes to the scene.

Even before I would say.... 4:35

The Boy Must Die? Yes... Yes the boy must die.

It's when everything snaps into place and makes sense... Very emotional scene.

Way too soon. And he still looked very young for his age. Some people look older in their mid-fifties than he had at nearly seventy just before he died.

Salutes Alan Rickman

I think all the wizarding world was confounded by Abraxas Malfoy as a way to gain power. Lucius maintained the confundus, and that's why Snape ruined his life and never recovered. It would also explain why the court of opinion about Harry was on a roller coaster, and why Dumbledore made his bad decisions.

No no no, he was a horrible man. He joined a terrorist group who aimed to kill muggleborns. He got upset when Lily didn't return his feelings. He stopped being friends with her, what, 5th or 6th year? I'm not exactly sure. He also tried to give Voldemort Harry and James in exchange for Lily. Then, he was an absolute dick to him in school, not to mention Neville's boggart. So no, he didn't deserve full happiness.

Christy Plyler He was instrumental in Voldemort's demise by taking the greatest risks a man in his position could, ultimately dying to fulfill this purpose. That alone speaks of bravery and greatness out of this world. He never sold James and Harry for Lily, he asks Dumbledore and enslaves himself to him to protect all of them. About the rest you pointed out, I'll say as much as this: every great, amazing person has made mistakes and followed a dark path. It's only natural, for only that way we learn the righteous path and follow it by our own conviction, and not because we're told so.

Christy Plyler He, technically, never stopped being friends with Lily, SHE stopped being friends with him. He's known for the phrase "Always" as in he Always loved Lily, Always cared for her, and Always tried to protect her. He wasn't originally going to join the Death Eaters but after his best and longest friend turned her back on him and basically said he WAS a Death Eater he felt he had no other options. After all if the woman you love won't see good in you what's the point? On to you're next point, "he got upset when Lily didn't return his feelings" well first of all he never actually confessed to Lily so either you're refering to him being upset that she BROKE OFF their 6+ years of friendship, or to him being upset that Lily started dating James. The same James that had been BULLYING Severus for years, that he owed a life debt to despite the fact that his life was only in danger due to Sirius-who was JAMES' friend. His anger was a little understandable. He did offer Voldemort Harry and James if he would spare Lily's life and while that may not be noble it was undoubtedly human, and not *evil*. Snape was desperate to save the woman that he loved, to save his oldest and dearest friend, if that meant giving up the man who constantly tormented him and their son (whom he had likely never seen and thus had no attachment to) so be it. He was a HORRBLE Teacher, that much is true but that didn't make him a horrible *man* and it should be stated that his "being a dick" was part of his cover, he was constantly trying to protect Harry from Book 1 all the way to 7, he always said he "hated Harry" because of his father, but in the 7th book we find out that Severus "Always" saw Lily in Harry, and thus didn't in fact hate him. He was brought to tears by the idea that "Lily Potter's son" would have to die to defeat Voldemort. As for Neville's bogart...how does fearing one's teacher make said teacher a Horrible Man? In the end Snape called Lily "mudblood" ONCE (and out of male pride more so than anything) and that caused his life to spiral out of control, despite this he still gave EVERYTHING he had to save Lily, and she still died! He could have called it quits but decided to continue with his spying all in the hopes of saving her son, who-after 16 years-he learns must die himself. So, yes, I think Snape deserved a little happiness.

Min-lee MacDonald I think that it can be seen both ways. As in : he resented Harry because he made him think of James, plus of his failure regarding Lily, and that he just turned bitter because of it, and that he was a bastard. However, I'm more for the idea that he was just a man who was brought up in an abusive household, and who was despised by muggleborns and pureblood for opposite reasons, and that he just wasn't able to fit in all of this. The fact that he was bullied by people who were supposed to be good certainly didn't help. And regarding Harry, he still kept his promise and protected him until the very end, even he he wasn't kind to him (I think that's a mix of him needing to keep his DE cover, plus being resentful of James, and just being bitter because he had an awful life)

Old good Snape we all hate

I saw this post a while back and liked it but I came back just now and I realised I accidentally disliked it lmao

I was hoping that he was going to say "You have your mother's eyes" in the films. I was suprised that JK didn't include that part in the books, I think she had just written for Snape "Take them" meaning his liquid silver memories (or tears). When I watched the film I said it out loud, then he said it. I was so happy, but sad at the same time.

Read the books. They depict Snape in far more depth (and for that matter, every character in the series) than the movies do. You're missing out on some great moments if you haven't.

emlmm88 But that's the joy of watching the movies first before novels. When you know everything that'll happen in the movie which has less lore than the books, you expect and know everything that'll happen. At least that's what happens to me. I'm much more of a visual person myself too. Not knowing what would happen though, and watching the action without the text was heart ripping. But on another positive note about watching a series before reading it is that as you've said. You get even more knowledge about the character in the books than when you watch it! :) So maybe at some point I will, because it's making me really want to!

That's awesome you grasped the whole story. When I saw DH Part 2 I met some people standing on line who hadn't read the books and were al excited. We talked about HP a lot and then afterwards I ran into them (still tear-stained). They said they'd loved it but they had one question--why did Snape and Lily stop being friends? DHP2 left that out, or should I say they failed to hearken back to Snape's worst memory to make it clear that's why their friendship ended. Still a lovely sequence though. "Look at me..."

Yea I mean there are advantages and disadvantages to both and I really think that for this particular series, the movies hold up totally on their own and many of the main moments (like Snapes death) I actually think are executed better in the films. Still, this is a universe that you need to really sink your teeth into to get completely, and for that I would definitely recommend reading the novels. I read all seven in 4 days once. That's how riveting they can be.

Actually you can try the audiobooks if novels don't suit you, it's quite understandable to prefer watching before reading. And yes... definitely recommend books, not just because of Snape but also entire treatment of 'What really happen to Ariana Dumbledore'... which is also tragic. But the Prince's Tale is likely the best chapter... and as someone once mention (and I totally agree) J.K. wrote a better love story in just 1 chapter, than Stephenie Meyer in an entire series (and frankly better than most teen romances for that matter).

Well said.

The author said Lily would have give Servers a chance, but he LIKED DARK MAGIC too much. So he was not "friend zone"

+Aayushi Dhiman I think you are ignoring a lot of things about Severus. He is an interesting character, but don't ignore the negative aspects to him. He was infatuated with dark magic (which was the primary reason for why the Marauders bullied him), he spent his time with people who wanted to kill mud bloods, joined Voldemort, only betrayed Voldemort once Lily died if that had not happened he would still be a loyal to Voldemort.

Mr33500 The reasons he became a bully and a death eater are stated above in the first comment. JKR explained in the books the reasons WHY he became so cruel toward Harry. He was a product of his environment and never received love except from lily. It doesn't excuse what he did, but at least we have an idea of what led him to be so shady.

Aayushi Dhiman the best thing in Harry Potter is that almost nobody is perfect just humans. With defects And good things for example dumbledore wasn t just a widsom old man or snape wasn t so bad just another bitter profesor.

Started to cry from 5:48 to the end because that ecene where he finds Lily dead

Same here this music gets me every time.

+Elizabeth Gallardo that is my favorite part

Same here.. I felt so so sorry... I always saw him with bad eyes :(

CHAVODEL8 I never really hated him but saw him as this sort of comedic character. His bullying reached ridiculous points, so I'm glad I can say I always felt some kind of liking for him. When he killed Dumbledore though, I guess that's when I may have hated him, but obviously that hatred didn't last very long, huh...

+CHAVODEL8 I think that chapter was the best chapter of all 7 books... It was so touching. This same with the movies. I have never cried so much on any other scene of HP

Wonderful observation!

I believe in the boathouse there was the gryffindor scarf

Natalia Alienovna Romanova Snape should be in Gryffindor in first place too bad he joined the Dark Lord afterwards

I love the music this is m'y favorite:thé whole saga !!!

Natalia Alienovna Romanova I didn't notice the scarf, thank you. Snape was as brave as a real Gryffindor, but don't forget the most important point: he didn't want to be a Gryffindor, he hated that House. He wanted to be in Slytherin, and the Sorting Hat allowed his desire, as it did with Harry.

I think this too. We in the TV says alan rickman die, I'd sad

At the funeral in the crematorium. I do not think he has a grave. I do not know what the rules are in England regarding the burial of the dead, but it was somewhere that his ashes were handed over to Rima Horton. So his wife. Oh my God, that drives me even after almost three years, the goose bumps on the body. And no positive goose bumps. Unfortunately, I have failed to watch the films immediately in the original (I'm from Germany, here are the only synchronized on television). If I had seen the original version before, I'm sure that I had speculated on seeing Alan Rickman live in the theater. From today's perspective could I would probably go for a ticket at nothing. Unfortunately too late!

*casts protronas* After all this time Always Gets me every time

Think about it. He casts the Patronus as a direct response to Dumbledore's ridicule. This is the very Patronus which helps Harry to find the Sword of Gryffindor. So yes, Snape absolutely does care for Harry, to the extent that he pains himself to think of the only woman who ever made him happy, in order to produce the Patronus which could lead Harry to a means to protect himself and to destroy the Horcruxes. Effectively, Snape casting the Patronus is a big "f*ck you" to Dumbledore. "Don't tell me you've grown to care for the boy." Snape's inner monologue is saying, "Yes, I do care. So much it hurts. So much that I think of his mother every day of my life. So much that I'll put myself through that torture a thousand times more if it means he survives." Snape cared very deeply for Harry. People don't realise that.

@Roisin that’s what I see in there too ✨ he would never admit it yet his actions show it. In that very moment Severus drops the facade and shows his heart 🖤 I felt since the 1st movie that he would show us by the very last that he always cared and protected Harry

I remember already crying during Dumbledore's revelation to Snape that Harry was a horcrux, but when the powerful musical buildup ushered in the reprise of "Dumbledore's Farewell", I couldn't hold myself together... so beautifully done. Visually and emotionally. Artistically (and as another on here said) it really was like Alexandre Desplat put his conducting baton down and stepped back humbly, taking a final bow, saying "I can't top that... my work here is done."

STOP- 🤣🤣

"Pity those who live without love..." Damn you so much, now I can't stop thinking about it haha :')

+Joseph Wagner Snape is not simple tragic hero, he is an anti hero. There is a subtle difference between the two, yet very crucial to understand character's arch. Both tragic and anti heroes are faced with a choice that would determine the rest of their lives. Now the difference is that tragic hero is doomed no matter what he decides to do, while anti hero choses poorly. And that is exactly what happened to Snape. He made wrong choice somewhere in his childhood which put him on different path than Lilly's and has ultimately severed the bond between them. And even though he kept loving her for the rest of his life, he was bound to suffer from the consequences of his one early mistake. He was trying to redeem himself ever since and he ultimately has achieved it in public opinion, yet I do not think he saw it that way in his final moments.

Deo Deodath I know the difference in literary terms, but I said he was a "tragic character", not a tragic hero. Snape's story *is* tragic.

Joseph Wagner I know what you mean, yet just want to point out that when you say that character is tragic, it does not mean that his story is. It's a language thing :) Snape's story is tragic, you are spot on, but at the same time, he has very interesting redemption arch, subtly inserted among the lines.

I also felt bad for Draco in that scene. They both had to watch someone they knew get tortured and killed and eaten by a snake right in front of them.

Me too I can literally remember them off by heart nearly

He did bad only with the greater good in mind. The kind Stannis himself did to protect his realm. I find my fav characters from both the series - Stannis and Snape - to be very similar in this regard.

Builty Gishop well said

ChronicWTFSyndrome Voldemort was never able to see into snapes mind properly, the reason he was mean was so that if Voldemort looked into the minds of his students he would see that Snape is mean. That, and he was extremely bitter to the whole world and already hated Harry because he was a potter was why he was so mean

Which is a quotation from elsewhere. Not a Martin original, FWIW.

Sabrina Hutt I’m happy that the bullied part of Snape is reasonable in the movie and it’s undrestand able. Snape is much true in the movie in book there is lack of logic about his acts.

this was composed by Alexandre Desplat and Nicholas Hooper

Well, you're mostly right. Snape was a tortured and brokenhearted man, but he was anything but kind for most of his adult life, he was in every way...a bully. Snape was an incredibly biased man who viewed all of the Gryffindor students (particularly Harry) as outlets for his negative feelings. He favored the Slytherins and saw presumably saw much of his younger self in Draco when he should have seen his younger self in Harry. Instead, he could only see a reincarnation of the boy who bullied him in his childhood and took every opportunity to spite him. It was a grudge he held onto until his last few moments of life, when something made him see Harry in another light.

darkruler64 While I do agree that he treated Harry badly as a revenge for James being a bully to him, he favored Slytherins because he was Head of this house... McGonagall favored Gryffindor too, or are we forgetting how she had the Quidditch rules changed for Harry because she wanted her house to win the cup, for instance? He did not see his younger self in Draco. Young Snape was poor, timid, and a target for bullies like James Potter and Sirius Black. Draco was much closer to being James or Sirius than to being young Severus. Snape favored Draco from book 1 to 5 because 1) Draco is a prominent member of his house and 2) Draco is his godson, most likely Snape has been a family friend to the Malfoys for years. Plus Dumbledore and him likely always knew Voldemort would come back to life, and then Snape would have to be the spy again... the lie is more convincing, imo, if Snape keeps close ties to the Malfoys. In book 6, he "favors" him because he is supposed to help him succeed in killing Dumbledore (he made a Vow to Narcissa, and Dumbledore wanted him to make sure Draco wouldn't kill anyone else by accident in attempting to murder him), that's about it.

Very under rated comment

Could I ask, before you viewed the memories, what did you think it was?

@@GemGames3 I didn't know for sure I assumed there was something between Snape and Lily But I never imagined it went as deep as what Snape went through for her to protect Harry To be able to risk so much for someone you love so deeply That's real love

@@thomasbaron5367 I remember as this scene was playing, my Dad turned to me and said "So is Snape Harrys real father then?" I almost laughed but given how the memories were cut and edited I could see how he would think that, I highly recommend reading the book chapter of this part though, theres a lot more to their story than what the movie skimmed over, including why Snape and Lily didn't grow closer than friends and which involved themes of choice and peer pressure from their respective houses, The overall idea of the story is there though in the film.

"When the falsk was full to the brim, and Snape looked as though there was no blood left in him, his grip on Harry's robes slackened. - Look...at....me...- he whispered. The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pari seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank, and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more." In the book Snape died looking into Lily's eyes all the time. I have great respect for actors, but the rest... There are many changes, small and large, that make me think that these films are ok and acceptable, but I know that I will probably read the books for the rest of my life.

"And what will you give me in return, Severus?" "In - in return?" Snape gaped at Dumbledore, and Harry expected him to protest, but after a long moment he said, "Anything" (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; Chapter 33, pg. 678)

I'll be blunt, I don't think he ever actually liked Dumbledore. Begrudging respect? sure. But liking him? not really. He certaintly didn't hate him, though. At least, up until the end.

And when you think about it, dumbledore planned snape to die which is kinda harsh

@Sangala Rachana I think Dumbledores plan was to get killes by Snape VOLUNTARILY. So when Snape kills him, he wouldn´t have defeated him, therefore no one would be master of the elder wand. Dumbledore never wanted Harry to go after the deathly hallows, at least in the books. But of course, Draco kind of screwed up.

Well, he kinds was mean too. When he insulted Hermione's teeth, at 13 years old... that was cruel and uncalled for. But he redeemed himself.

Rach A Yeah... I wonder if a bit of his resentment towards Hermione stems from the fact that she, in many ways, is like Lily, and she was hanging with Harry, James Potter's son and lookalike. I mean, Lily too was a gifted student, a know-it-all, a Gryffindor and Muggle-born.

Kysfallen That's a great theory and really fits. Could well explain his attitude.

+Paola Quezada same.

I'M CRYING.

for what

*when the time comes...

and Voldemort himself must do it. Yes.... that is essential.

That would imply that their love story is AWFUL, which it certainly isn't.

Agreed, though I like the Twilight series, I thought all of the other characters, including the Vampires who were called to witness, were FAR more interesting than Edward and Bella

Snily WIPES THE FLOOR WITH TWILIGHT AND I SAY THAT AS SOMEONE WHO CAN TOLERATE TWILIGHT

Snily is my favorite ship

um... but... every love story is better than twilight... and does anyone else just look up hp vs. twilight?

William Bear damn thats good

AlWAYS

Angel_ Dusk Meanwhile, snape cries clutching a dead Lilly on the screen :'(

+Antonio Almeida I laughed so hard in the movie theatre when Dumbledore died. Everyone in the room was quiet.

AizenSamaKing X SO IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS BOTHERED BY THAT?? YESS!! 😂

worse cause this is Dumbledores music scene being used here . !

Sadder for Snape because he died with everyone thinking he was a bad guy.... until Harry cleared his name. Severus snape was the only part in all 8 movies I cried for, and I mean bawled my eyes out. Such a brave man.

*when you realize that Harry Potter, even in the "current generation" is still going incredibly strong*

*gatekeeping ... *cough cough**

No she didn't, that was a fake rumor that circulated the Internet. Rowling didn't confirm jack.

@@loganbigmo There is an interview where Rowling confirmed Lilly would have developed romantic feelings for him, had he turned away from the Dark Arts.

@@scarol17 Have you actually read or watched this interview, or is it just something you read about or heard about on the Internet from other people?

@@loganbigmo It's on leaky cauldron. org (a site endorsed by JK Rowling), which transcribed one of her Bloomsbury interviews. The exact words are: "Jaclyn: Did lily ever have feelings back for snape J.K. Rowling: Yes. She might even have grown to love him romantically (she certainly loved him as a friend) if he had not loved Dark Magic so much, and been drawn to such loathesome people and acts."

@@scarol17 MIGHT have is not the same as WOULD have. There's a key difference there.

Pretty sure there're no such thing

Slytherin's heir A Snape hater

:'O D':

No, Snape IS a hero. Forever.

Slytherin's heir someone may get triggered because you are he who shall not be named and you kinda killed Snape sooooo

i remember reading that chapter for the first time and being shocked. then i felt the dread of finally knowing the truth. i didnt ever not like Snape but i didnt like him either. he was always in between for me but after that chapter and especially after seeing it on the big screen that sealed my love for Snape as my favorite character.

SAME! I remember reading that chapter during 'reading hour' in my 10th grade English class and was so shocked by Snape's past affections, so appalled by Harry's dad being a dick, so torn of how I could ever look at Snape the same again, I forgot I was even in class and just went 'WHATTTTTTT?????!'

Tonya Threadgill Severus was so in love for Lily... But when he learn that Lily and James was in love together he hate Harry and his father (James) all his life... And when he find Lily when she was dead... He became cold and naughty... But I never understand why does he goes with the man who killed the women of his life... Because he doesn't love anyone since Lily die...

@Patrick Belot Maybe because he wanted to save Harry? As snape said harry had his mothers eyes, so snape saw lily in him...and he didnt want to let this murder happen again.... If he works together with Voldi, he knows what he plans and can help harry to avoid it or so... and when he would leave voldi-poldi snape would be killed BEFORE he could save harry... maybe that's why but i dont know it's just a theory

Lily W Oh Yes it's possible...

Um, Thanks?

You have gain my respect
