Well, I have been a very avid Harry Potter fan for several years now, (I was in the fifth grade when Sorcerer's Stone really hit it big in the US)(I'm in college now)(and I much prefer the books, but the movies are very enjoyable when separated from the books...) and I am soooo frigging excited about the half-blood prince movie, partially because I love Alan Rickman so much and this one has a lot more of him than the earlier ones. Which brings me to my question- When looking at IMDB.com, at Alan Rickmans page, they say that he is signed on for Deathly Hallows part 1, but, as I am sure you are aware by now, they are splitting that movie into two parts, and Alan Rickman is not listed for part two. I am wondering if they are going to let the first movie go all the way up until Snape dies, but thats really far into that book, and would leave the battle to consume an entire movie. Do you think he is just not signed on YET, do you think part two will be the battle for hogwarts,or do you have a completely different theory? Serious answers only, please!
