Lovely to see Google celebrating Alan Rickman. I was lucky to know him. Best memory? A weekend being taught self-hypnosis by a half Aboriginal, half Essex guru, circa 1994. Changed my life. Alan could find the 'zone', of course, without even trying. pic.twitter.com/kXvvh0hz28

On this day I want to say that Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility was just as great as Matthew Macfadyen was as Mister Darcy in Pride and Prejudice pic.twitter.com/uuVsuYGbxc

Alan Rickman Won Over His Fans With His Outstanding Portrayal Of 'Severus Snape'
Alan Rickman's portrayal of Severus Snape in the Harry Potter film series is a performance that will forever be remembered by fans worldwide. Rickman's ability to capture the complexity of Snape's character, with the mix of aloofness and vulnerability, made him one of the most intriguing characters in the entire Harry Potter series.
Snape's cold nature outside and sarcastic demeanor often made him seem like the villain of the story, while it wasn't the case. As the series progressed, we came to learn that Snape was actually a hero, dedicated to protecting Harry and the wizarding world from the clutches of one of the scariest villains 'Voldemort.'
Rickman brought depth to Snape's character which made his eventual redemption all the more powerful. Rickman's performance as Professor Snape was outstanding, and his portrayal of the character will be remembered as one of the most iconic in the history of Hollywood movies.
The Harry Potter franchise would not have been what it is without Alan Rickman's incredible performance as 'Severus Snape.'
