Snape

The British Library, United Kingdom, is organizing a series of talks titled The Hogwarts Curriculum Lectures. These talks by eminent academics and researchers in their field will explore the subjects taught at Hogwarts, a magical school created by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter universe, with a different perspective.

With one tweet, author JK Rowling apologised for killing off Professor Severus Snape in the final book of the Harry Potter series. Her apology comes on the anniversary of the fictional Battle of Hogwarts, which saw many popular characters die.

You don't need to be a witch or a wizard to fly on broomsticks. You also don't need "foolish wand-waving or silly incantations," as Professor Snape would say, to play Quidditch. Watch these six muggle skydivers play Quidditch 14000ft above ground level.

"I told Alan what lies behind the word 'Always'." J K Rowling was alluding to a scene in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows where Professor Dumbledore asks Snape if he has "grown to care for the boy (Harry Potter), after all" and Snape then shows him his Patronus, which is a doe, a reflection of Lily Evans Potter

"A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes," reads a line from a letter Alan Rickman wrote back in 2011. He was saying farewell to his Harry Potter character Severus Snape but it couldn't hold truer now for fans across the world who are mourning the actor. Mr Rickman died at the age of 69 on January 14.

Professor Snape may have scared the bejesus out of most of his Hogwarts pupils but between takes, he couldn't have been kinder. As fans raised their wands to honour Alan Rickman, his colleagues from the franchise paid tribute to their late co-star. Here are tributes from those who took Potions lessons from the Half-Blood Prince

"As an actor he was one of the first of the adults on Potter to treat me like a peer rather than a child. Working with him at such a formative age was incredibly important and I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life and career," Daniel Radcliffe wrote in a tribute to Alan Rickman on social media

In contrast to Alan Rickman's often sneering and supercilious screen persona, fellow actors lamented the death of a warm, witty and generous friend. Actor Ian McKellan said Mr Rickman and Rima Horton were always top of his "dream-list dinner guests". "Alan would by turns be hilarious and indignant and gossipy and generous"

Mr Rickman leaves behind him a legendary body of work spanning screen, TV and stage. His earliest successes came with theatre roles in productions of The Seagull and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Hollywood stardom followed soon after, with breakthrough roles as terrorist Hans Gruber in 1988 hit Die Hard

Believe it or not, you can improve your diet and still enjoy meals. Here's how ..."The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not," Mark Twain once wrote, predating the concerns...

Jimmy Fallon sent one of his writers to ask the 'Potterati' some themed questions. But here's the catch - it's the parents who need to answer the questions. The result, and we don't have a nicer way to this, could make Dumbledore turn in his grave.

The 39-year-old Snape, who founded one of Britain's leading Performance Coaching companies, said he was delighted to be joining Delhi Daredevils for the 2013 IPL season.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has had a record breaking run in the first week.

Fanatical fans are queuing up for the last movie by sporting black cloaks, witch hats, and magic wands!

Only to Harry Potter fans do the words "Mrs.Weasley", "Neville Longbottom" and "Albus Severus Potter" make a whole lot of sense.
