Alan Rickman carrying the secret of the ending all the way through the franchise... very poetically mirrors Snape's journey as a "double agent" of sorts, giving way more gravitas to the "After all this time?" - "Always" dialogue...

oh god now i'm crying again

[laila]

This left me missing Alan Rickman... this human was extraordinary

[DaRebelbabe]

James and Oliver didn't just embody the weasley twins. It was meant to be. They skipped school the day of the audition just to attend it. Sheer destiny on not only their casting but many others 😊

I love how Emma was the most hesitant one about all the fame back then but has since been in the biggest projects out of all of them

[sarahvenable]

The Daniel Radcliffe & Helena Bonham Carter moment was HILARIOUS!!!

[samalvey]

I read once that Jason Isaacs tried to smuggle the snake-headed wand of Lucius Malfoy off the set, but got caught. Honestly, I can't blame him because it is a lovely wand.

The only big revelation was about Emma thinking about leaving. The other ones we knew. In the interview between Jo and Daniel, she mentioned that she told Alan about Lilly and everything else.

[Charlezard.]

So Alan Rickman just WAS Snape.

I love the quote of his: "When I'm 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I'll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, 'After all this time? ' And I will say, 'Always'."

[trinaq]

It was so sweet to see the cast reunite and reminisce about growing up on set with each other. Plus, Emma's confession about her crush on Tom is too cute for words! 🥰

[jeridast]

Tom Felton and Emma Watson mutual respect and love is proof that platonic love does exist and should be nurtured

[ErikaDraeug]

The 'after all this time? Always' quote will go on beyond the Harry Potter fame.

[saucyguy]

Alan Rickmans "Always" ALWAYS gives me chills.

[aninhapmr]

"After all this time? "
"ALWAYS."
It gives me chills...

A harry potter directors edition would be great. All those deleted scenes would make the movies that much better I think.

[hopelovewright]

Everyone is talking about Alan. Which i admit I miss him too, same with Helen. But the part with Richard Harris and Forkes was so sweet makes me think about if he wouldve lived and continue it would've been spectacular.

[phatphan]

The Harry Potter series is so magical beyond any measures with all the perfect actings and character meanings that another remake cannot come for another 30-40 years.

[ellie]

I miss Alan Rickman what a legend he was, and that voice you know we will never hear that voice again it was unique, and I got real emotion with the list of people who were in Harry Potter but know have passed away, and I got very teary at the end because it made realize how much I miss Harry Potter

[AA-qbni]

It was so beautifully done. I love how it ended with Snape's "always" line 🙌🏼♥️

[scottsummers]

Practical effects is what makes the Harry Potter franchise timeless versus the Fantastic Beasts which is all CGI. There is also joy and magic to the HP franchise which is very lacking from the FB franchise. Those FB movies just look very sad and lifeless.
