She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named: How Much I Hate Alan Rickman

It started with a spark and grew into a raging fire of hatred. Ever since I had watched the 1995 movie "Sense and Sensibility" with Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant, my awesome opinion of Severus Snape turned into a glowing ball of fury for the person known as Colonel Brandon.

Let me just say that I am a huge fan of the British actress Kate Winslet. So when I put on my bucket list "See all of Kate Winslet's movies," I decided to watch "Sense and Sensibility." Another fact at that time was that I was reading Jane Austen novels, and I was a few pages into this spectacular story of two very different sisters. So of course when I realized Alan Rickman played one of the love interests, with his wrinkled forehead and overly large nose, my jaw dropped and I quickly tried to prove the theory -- that that wasn't him -- by searching the movie.

Unfortunately, it was him. And even more sadly, he was there to stay.

When Mr. Willoughby entered the picture, I was like "Oh, yes! He's cute!" But it didn't last, and soon Marianne (Kate Winslet) had her heart broken and Brandon was all like "I love you forever" and stuff like that. So when she runs out in the rain, risking her health, and he carries her in his arms bridal style, I was trying to drench the clouding thoughts of "She's way too pretty for him! He looks so old! Gosh, why doesn't she just stick with Leo??"

Next, there was the ending, where there was the wedding. And since I didn't finish the book I told myself, "Good, it's Elinor and Edward's wedding." Then my eyes bugged open when Kate Winslet appeared in a gorgeous dress with her hair all nice and done and there was Alan Rickman right next to her with his beady eyes and old man face.

So, to summarize this up, I strongly dislike Alan Rickman. That is all.

Now, onto Harry Potter. After this rant, I have realized: no wonder Snape didn't win Lily's heart! He's been rejected by many women. I think all he needs is a nice, big hug from Sam. Of course, I love Snape! I love Harry Potter. So in actuality I am a huge Snape fan, but I just don't like some of Alan Rickman's other characters. (*Cough* Colonel Brandon.)

Obviously.

With dear hate,
