    Robbie’s death hit me hardest by far. It was the first time I cried over someone who I didn’t know personally. Completely ruined my day and couldn’t stop crying for almost an hour. Hagrid and Sirius are my favourite adult characters. I can’t think of a more pure thoughtful character. Hagrid has always reminded me of my dad. A big scary looking guy who takes people under his wing and always stands up and looks after those who need it most. Robbie brought him to life down to every little detail. There could never be a more perfect Hagrid

    It’s crazy how most of us didn’t knew them personally, but still it feels like losing somebody, since they or the characters were with us for so many years (and still are). Will never forget the day when I heard that Alan Rickman passed away, I was sitting in class and a fellow student said that without knowing who he was. That just hit different

      I found out when I was at work. I saw it on this big TV, out in the lobby, that we used to have, and I saw that Alan had passed! I knew him very well through many of his works over the years! And he carried it like Chadwick Boseman did, he, did Infinity War, Endgame, Winter Soldier, and Civil War, while having cancer ! They chose to live the best that they could, with the time they had left! Outside of Rickman's home, MANY had raised wands in his honor, like they had raised lightsabers for Carrie Fisher! I heard a while back, from Siqnourny Weaver, who was with Galaxy Quest with Alan, she said several times, that when they do the Squel to Galaxy Quest, (show or movie), that they WILL NOT re-cast Alan's character, they'll do a proper, heartfelt tribute to Alan instead, because MANY loved his character!

    Well. Ive just run through about 1/2 a box of tissues! This was a lovely tribute to one and all of these wonderful actors and actresses. While my favorite from before the HP franchise was Alan Rickman, im going to answer that he still holds his place in my heart. However. From start to finish they each in theyre own way are my favorites. I grew up in a household that watched far more British programing than American. We got to know a plethora of awesome acting legends in the HP universe beforehand. I just cherish every wonderful moment of enjoyment their talents brought me! Thanks for just a beautiful, but tearful farewell to them all. Without a doubt in my mind, they earned their wings! 😇🕊 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Then I can only imagine how terrifying he must have been when they were rolling! If an actor can scare his costars, regardless of rather the 🎥’s are rolling or not then I can only imagine what kind of actor Mr. Rickman must have been. I mean he must have been scary. Good at what he did for a living. for a living.

It's like they are forever preserved at the age you see them in that character. Although Michael Gambon is a wonderful actor, Richard Harris will always be my favorite Albus Dumbledore and I had a hard time with that change. Alan Rickman was brilliant as Severus Snape as well as so many others that did a fantastic job playing their characters.
