Wow..so err, I just realized I seem to post new threads in here a lot (=/) but I've just heard they changed Snape's death in the movie from how it happened in the book.

I'm not happy. xD I thought the way he died in the book showed a lot about Voldemort's completely uncaring behavior towards everyone and though it was sad, loved everything about it. Apparently they changed it to be more "dramatic".

We wanted to change a bit where Snape dies. In the book, he dies on the Shrieking Shack, and we wanted to get him out from, not a conventional interior, but from that kind of box, to do it in a more dramatic atmosphere. We asked J.K. if she agreed for that to happen in there, because we hadn't really seen it before. We made a crystal house, and you can see what happens in the boat house from there - Are you listening Harry? -, but also the school is in flames...and she loved it. Besides, it's a very romantic place to die. Snape dies in a extremely good way, I gotta say." You may remember set designer Stuart Craig commented on Snape's death scene last February, commenting: "The last time I cried was a few days ago when we filmed the death of Alan Rickman's character, Snape. It's quite difficult to cry in rushes -- where we watch the previous day's work -- but he is an extraordinary actor and he dies an extremely good death.

Merg. Well, maybe I'm just being a grump about this but I hope it does turn out to be good. Though I'm sure Alan Rickman could make just about anything good. xDD

I'm actually happy about this...when I read it on Perez, I thought...GREAT SNAPE ISNT GONNA DIE.

But I kept reading and felt it would be better...I mean, if JK loves it, then it must be good.

Yeah, I'm hoping that because JK liked it, it has to be decent. But still...I WANT HIM TO DIE IN THE SHRIEKING SHACK.

Hmm. I don't - I mean - O_O

Ehhhh.

I kinda really thing that the shrieking shack is already dramatic - and significant (didn't Snape almost die trying to get INTO the shack looking for Remus?) but the movie's gotta do what it's gotta do... perhaps.
