Happy Birthday Professor

Rachael — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:22:51 +0000

It’s that time of year again. Snapecast has an owl on the way to wish everyone’s favorite snarky professor a happy 52nd birthday…

How will you be celebrating?

We’re Back!

Rachael — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 03:03:14 +0000

Due to a problem with blibbering-humdingers in the server (that may or may not have had anything to do with one snarky professor), snapecast.com was down for a while. We’ve called in an expert to take care of the infestation and are back. Stay tuned for further Snape-ing!

Mr. May

Rachael — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 04:54:41 +0000

The Professor looks a bit sad as the featured May model for a recent Harry Potter calendar…

Three questions for everyone…

1. Why isn’t he Mr. January?
2. Am I the only one who thought the picture in the corner looked like a Barbie doll box?
3. Why isn’t there an entire Snape calendar?

Infinitus Report from Snarky

Rachael — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 22:48:35 +0000

The Muggles who run this podcast are still recovering from their incessant Snape-ing at Infinitus this weekend, but I thought it would be prudent to post about their adventures. I came along to the convention because Rachael told me “it was part of my contract.” I was able to hoodwink the Muggles into giving me money and I procured reservations for my own hospitality parlor and king suite.

The rest of the details for the event are posted here. I plan to bring a lawsuit for intentional infliction of emotional distress to an owl and am gathering evidence via this Flickr group. Please post any pics from the meetup there.

Snape’s Death Filmed

Rachael — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:39:02 +0000

Although any good Snape fan is well aware of the fact that the professor does not actually die in the last book, Warner Brothers has announced that the Snape death scene has been filmed. At least we know he’ll be in the last film! Now let’s hope that the scene is longer than 2 minutes…

HBP: The Corrected Version

Rachael — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:41:15 +0000

In Episode 35, some of the Snapecasters performed a dramatic reading of the “Don’t Call Me a Coward” scene from the script for Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince. Please consider this the closest thing we will get to a corrected version of the film.

You can watch it here on the Snapecast YouTube channel.

Rickman Interview With Snape Content

Rachael — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:51:41 +0000

Clips from a December 7, 2009 interview with Alan Rickman at the Hudson Society have recently surfaced. A link with the all three the videos is here. Here is a short summary of the content from a Snape fan perspective…

Video 1 (located here): Rickman talks about the importance of story telling and discusses what happens when it is mixed with commercialism.

Video 2 (located here): Rickman responds “I don’t know” to a question about what attracted him to his character in Harry Potter. His teaser for the upcoming Harry Potter film: “It’s the last one.” Not exactly true since Deathly Hollows will be a two parter. There is a bit of discussion about the different directors in the series as well.

Video 3 (located here): Rickman mentions a few scenes with just Ralph Fiennes. Will we see Snape and Voldemort strolling around the Malfoy Mansion together with the white peacocks? There is also mention of a scene with 300 kids. Headmaster Snape?

This interview definitely offers fodder about how much Snape there will be in Deathly Hollows. Will we even get a death scene?

Deleted Scene #1…with more to come hopefully

Snapecast — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:27:50 +0000

A big Snapey thank you to many of our listeners for providing this news tip. If you have not seen it already check out the haunting deleted scene from HBP which, in our opinion, is all about Snape.

Snape fen can only hope that there is more where this came from.

Snape and his elf made wine

Snapecast — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 02:16:04 +0000

Remembering simons_flower

Rachael — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 05:30:20 +0000

Today the Harry Potter fandom realized a tragic loss. simons_flower–podcaster, prolific fan fic writer, Ravenclaw, mother, and master of snark–was laid to rest in a cemetery in Washington state. As a mentor to new writers, host of the Quaffle Talk podcast, and valued friend to all who knew her, simons _flower touched more lives than can be expressed in the form of a post to this blog. Although her death was sudden and much too soon, it served as an example to illustrate the love and kinship in this fandom. Sometimes pictures are more effective than words in expressing emotions and that may be the case here…

Back from Snape-ing at Azkatraz

Snapecast — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 02:39:38 +0000

The Snapecast staff has returned from Azkatraz so be on the lookout for a recap episode shortly. In the mean time, here are a few memorable moments from the con…

Snarky was super naughty, receiving multiple arrest warrants for pooping on conference patrons, breach of employee confidentiality, tampering with mail, and other owl-related offenses…

There was also a beautiful Snape profile at the con…

Also Snape must have escaped from our hotel room because we did have a Snape-shaped hole….

Another Snape poster…poor quality but promising

Snapecast — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:54:27 +0000

UHP has posted 6 new HBP posters and one of them features Snape. The picture is blurry, but it has some potential.

And I do think it is slightly different than this one. In the blurred pic, the robe and hair are swishing in a semi-dramatic fashion.

“It’s Over”

Snapecast — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 02:38:31 +0000

Although the Professor is only featured for a few seconds in the latest HBP trailer, he certainly makes an impact. In addition to the scenes from previous trailers, the latest tease from the WB features Snape hurling hexes at Harry and darkly uttering the words “it’s over” in a way that only Snape can do. We’ve captured a few screencaps which are available below. Click on the link for the larger versions…

Look at that technique. Snape definitely has some hardcore dueling experience.

I would not want to be Harry here…well then again…

…or maybe not

The scene that is giving all the Snape fans the chills.

Snape-ing one day early isn’t necessarilly a good thing

Snapecast — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 02:08:42 +0000

After initially delaying the release of Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince 8 months, Warner Brothers is now giving us one extra day of Snape-ing and releasing the film on July 15, 2009. Unfortunately this may cause some stress for Azkatraz convention goers, many of whom planned their travel around a midnight release on July 17, 2009. HPEF has yet to make a decision to change show times or convention schedules, but they are keeping everyone in the loop.

Snape has expressed extreme displeasure with this situation as it will inevitably inflict an extra day of lunacy upon him. First Warner Brothers ruined his summer vacation plans and now the increase in fangirling that comes with every movie (especially this one) will start one day early. Looks like it’s time to break of the fire whiskey.

Snape fans will most certainly be financially impacted by this announcement as those of us who have already bought tickets to the July 17 midnight showing will have to purchase tickets for the new earlier release date. How could we imagine seeing Harry Potter and Severus Snape two days later than everyone else?

Thanks to Coz X for this tip!
