This is a biggie fans. A pretty iconic death scene is going to be changed dramatically from the book and we’ve got the details for you here.
WARNING: WE ARE NOT KIDDING WHEN WE TELL YOU THIS IS A PRETTY HUGE SPOILER. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW HOW THE MOVIE DIFFERS FROM THE BOOK, DON’T READ ON. IF YOU HAVEN’T EVEN READ THE BOOK, DON’T YOU DARE READ ON!
Okay, here it is.
In the final chapters of The Deathly Hallows, fans know that Severus Snape is killed at the Shrieking Shack by Voldemort’s snake, Nagini. Though the iconic death is still a go, the location and tone of the scene have been dramatically changed.
Andrew Ackland-Snow, the art director for DH, reveals that the fall of Severus will happen at the Hogwart’s Boathouse, rather than the Shack. You’ll recall if you’re a fan that the Boathouse is a crystal structure that sits on the lake near Hogwarts. The idea is to give a more “dramatic” and “romantic” feel to Severus’ death.
And before you all get to booing because they’ve drastically changed something from the book, let us just add this: J.K. Rowling specifically signed off on this. In fact, according to Andrew, she “loved” the idea.
And if she loved it, we imagine you will to.
So, are U pleased, Potterheads? Outraged? Indifferent?
