How are we supposed to survive the winter without our Snapey fix?

The official movie web site reflects the change and a rationalization for the move can be found here.

But there is a silver lining on this pair of graying underpants: the new release date coincides with Azkatraz, HPEF’s 2009 conference in San Fransisco. The organizers have arranged tickets at a nearby IMAX for the first midnight showing. For more information check out the announcement here or join the Azkatraz LJ community.

to get those snarky juices flowing! As you may have noticed, we
here at Snapecast are still riding high on the energy and excitement
of all the Snapey events this summer. And it appears that we’re not
alone; many Snapefans are experiencing fresh bursts of inspiration
and creativity when it comes to our favourite Greasy Git.

Snapecast would like to invite our listeners to share some of that
inspiration by sending us a This Slytherin Life or Detention
Intervention segment. More than a year after the publication of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, how do you feel about Snape?
What has changed? What hasn’t?

Unfortunately the previews do not include an appearance by the title character, Severus Snape. Poor Sevy.

Because Warner Brothers won’t give us our Snapey fix, Snapecast will be putting out a special “Happy Birthday Harry” episode featuring audio from the live Snapecast at Portus. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes featuring audio from SnapeFest and full coverage of the upcoming HBP film.

See the full story here.

This is mixed news for Snape fans. Although more film time almost gurantees more Snape, Mr. Yates is also the one who robbed us of our much anticipated graying underpants footage from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This news will certainly inspire very much speculation about how much Snape will be in and how much Snape will be left out of the final films.

Shall we start petitioning that the entire second film consist of The Prince’s Tale and Snape’s death scene now?

Ten percent of the 4,000 Potter fans who were polled online for the study qualified as addicted based on metrics of craving scales typically employed for cigarette withdrawal.

We all know that Snape fans have it rougher than the average HP fan. If quitting Harry is like deciding so stop smoking, then Snape withdrawal is akin to kicking a heroin habit. Many of us Snape fans are twitching and rummaging about in the dark corners of Knockturn alley dustbins, looking for scraps of pre-DH snark. Pssst, how many galleons do you want for that hit of AmbiguousGreySnape?

If you didn’t receive the email or lost it and can’t find your Remembrall, here it is…

The Livejournal community hbpmoviespics posted a number of shots of the actors and set…but we only care about the ones featuring Snape.

Our favorite has to be Snape on his cell phone…

But there are also some great shots of a super annoyed looking professor…

Unfortunately msot of what he said was to explain why he doesn’t like to talk about Professor Snape…

EW: Okay, I think your wranglers are giving me the signal, but I have to say, even before I got to the end of the Harry Potter books

AR: Before you go any further, I never, ever talk about that character. Number one, because it’s not fair on kids who haven’t read to the end. And for me to say anything
there’s a bit of it that just should be left innocent. It’s real storytelling, what she’s done, and I’m part of that. So I just never talk about it.

It’s nice to know that someone likes to keep Severus mysterious.

A short while ago, Snapecast received an unexpected and unsolicited offer from the Potions Master. He has agreed to make a brief appearance on our show and answer questions submitted by our listeners. Folks, this is your one opportunity to get the truth from the man who knows.

Because communications beyond the veil are difficult, we are asking that you submit your questions in .ogg or .mp3 format. These can all be recorded using Audacity. Remember where to contact us…

We look forward to hearing your questions…even if the Professor isn’t very enthusiastic about answering them.
