Ponder the Truth of Severus Snape in New Harry Potter Featurette

Oh, the mysterious plight of Severus Snape, the dark and complex Hogwarts teacher and Harry Potter-hating wizard of J.K. Rowling's beloved YA series. As the epic showdown between good and evil comes to its dramatic conclusion this week in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, consider the conundrum that is Snape in WB's newly released character featurette.

"The Snape story is much more complicated than we might imagine," begins producer David Heyman, before director David Yates, stars Daniel Radcliffe and Alan Rickman, and Rowling herself speak on behalf of the sinister, pivotal character.

If you haven't read the books, we won't spoil anything for you here. But if you are a Potter nut and love Snape in particular, it's a lovely ode to the character on the eve of the series' conclusion. It all ends when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 sweeps into theaters this week.
