to Harry Potter fans everywhere:
Today we lost another wizard. He finally lost his Great Battle with cancer. A wizard who will be remembered, not necessarily for his kindness, but instead for his bravery.
Alan Rickman, however, was a kind, caring, and funny man. A famous quote (though some are on the fritz as to whether or not he actually said it...):
“When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter,” the quote card says. “And my family will say to me, ‘After all this time?’ And I will say, ‘Always.’”
I'm sure that many of us are very sad to say that he never got to live out this fantasy. He was beloved by his fans. And to those of us out there who are still mourning his passing, remember the wise words of Albus Dumbledore. "Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." Keep the memory of Alan Rickman happy. lumos.
