Alan Rickman had an illustrious acting career that included an assemblage of noteworthy characters, but his portrayal of Severus Snape in the Harry Potter franchise is undoubtedly one of his most iconic roles.
However, if reports on EOnline.com are to be believed, the star’s personal letters have revealed the late actor was frustrated acting in the Harry Potter films. Two years after his passing, a collection of Rickman’s personal items have been put up for auction at the ABA Rare Book Fair in London. The collection, which has been released by Neil Pearson Rare Books, includes Rickman’s scripts, photographs, letters and personal diaries.
Among the items in the collection is a letter from the producer David Heyman to Rickman, thanking him for his work on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. “Thank you for making HP2 a success. I know, at times, you are frustrated but please know that you are an integral part of the films. And you are brilliant.”
