Evanna Lynch, who played the lovable Luna Lovegood throughout Harry Potter, recalled how she remembered his style of acting, how they were all scared of him, but how fascinating it would be to see Severus Snape in a bib.

"Alan was a Method actor, so we were all pretty much terrified of him on set.…the memory that sticks out to me was we were allowed to bring guests…….Alan Rickman, pretty much every day of filming, he had a whole troop of little children [visiting]. It was the most bizarre scene to see Snape in this black robe, usually with, like, a bib on — we had to wear these bibs so we didn’t ruin our costume — surrounded by all these happy little children who were just chatting away to him."

Oliver Phelps, who played Weasley twin George, recalled how he showed Rickman how to use an iPod. He also shared how approachable he was, and how extraordinary it was to see him transform from Snape into Rickman, and vice versa.

"I remember being next to him in the hair and makeup room, and I ended up showing Alan Rickman how to work an iPod, which was not what I thought I’d ever do in my life.He was a very approachable guy once you saw past Snape’s wig."

Warwick Davis, who played Professor Flitwick, shared the time he spotted Rickman as Snape, trying to be super sneaky and listen to his iPod that he tucked under his wig and down his robes.

"I could just see, sneaking behind his wig and down into his robes, the white wire of some iPod headphones.…..I started to wonder, what does Alan Rickman as Professor Snape listen to on his iPod?I never did ask him, and I wish I had. I’d love to have known."

Chris Columbus, the director of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, revealed that it was intimidating meeting the man from Die Hard, yet that was not who he was. That Rickman was, one of the kindest, and warmest men you will ever meet with a great sense of humor.

"….it’s the guy from Die Hard……..when he smiled, he just became the warmest, nicest human being in the world. A guy with a great sense of humor."
