Raising my Wand (Day 15)

This week has been one filled with tragedy. Earlier in the week we sadly lost David Bowie, the man who taught everybody out there that it really is okay to be different and then yesterday we lost Alan Rickman, one of the greatest actors to ever live.

Although Alan Rickman was made popular for many roles such as that in Die Hard and Love Actually, to me he will always be remembered as Professor Snape.

Growing up, Harry Potter has always been a huge part of my life, it's taught me the importance of friendship, loyalty and bravery. However ultimately the character who taught me the most was Professor Snape. Snape was never considered the ''good guy''. He was the evil baddy that tried to send Harry flying off of his broom. In the end though (and spoiler alert, just in case you have never watched Harry Potter) he turns out to be Harry's protector. Snape taught me that sometimes you have got to be bad to be good. That not everyone can like your decisions but that does not matter, as long as you are doing what's right.

Alan Rickman played the role perfectly. He truly made me believe in the power of bad comes good and I think it takes a special person to truly play a role like he did.

Today I decided to wear my golden snitch in honor of him.

So we must all raise our wands to Alan Rickman, forever and 'always'!

Talk to you tomorrow, Chloe xx
