And if you have not registered for Ascendio yet, be sure to do do before May 1 when the registration price increases. And don’t forget to mention you were referred by Snapecast.
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?
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!

The Professor looks a bit sad as the featured May model for a recent Harry Potter calendar…
Three questions for everyone…
Why isn’t he Mr. January?\ Am I the only one who thought the picture in the corner looked like a Barbie doll box?\ Why isn’t there an entire Snape calendar?
A number of Snape fen have asked us about posting content for the Theory of Dimishing Snape talk we gave at Infinitus last month. If you are interested in having a look at our highly detailed (and somewhat scientific) analysis, we have a link to the presentation materials here . Please let us know what you think!
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 .
Dear Fellow Snape–fen,
You are cordially invited to the Sitting Room at Spinner’s End to pass the time sneering, Snape–ing, andhexing Gryffindorssocializing over libations, snacks, and greying underpants on Friday evening before the Night of a Thousand Wizards. It is our dearest hope that a few hours relaxing and Snape–ing will provide a much needed break between the stimulating formal programming of Friday afternoon and the excitement and mayhem of the Night of a Thousand Wizards.

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…
In Episode 35 , some of the Snapecasters performed a dramatic reading of the “Don’t Call Me a Coward” scene from the script forHarry 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 .

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.
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.
This pic of Snape and a glass of elf made wine was recently posted on an Alan Rickman Facebook page…
Now why couldn’t the rest of the movie been more along these lines?

Hosts: Rachael, Rose, Meagan
– Nearly two months on, we’re still recovering from Azkatraz
– Revisiting some Snapey programming including The Fully Knowable Severus Snape – Highlights from the con included the Snape meet–up , the Snarry meet–up, the Snily meet–up, and Snape cosplayers – Coming up in this show.
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.
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….
It looks like we FINALLY have our first glimpse of Spinner’s End in all its shabby glory…
Some more of the wig…
And there’s a video clip of the Trio and Ginny discussing the Advanced Potions book .
It turns out that the poster with Snape and his greasy locks blowing in the wind was legit. Click on the image below for the high res version of what Mugglenet is calling the “bad guys poster” . Man, what will it take for Snape to lose this “villain” reputation?
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.

The Snape Report – (14:57)
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…
After initially delaying the release ofHarry Potter and the Halfblood Prince8 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 .
Most of the Snapecasters have recovered from our brief affair with Rorschach and although we don’t have a new Snapecast yet, we did some Snape–ing on Spellcast a while ago when they reviewed a Snapey fic. You can listen to the episode here or direct download here .
While we’re on the topic of Spellcast, don’t forget their Azkatraz Podcast Play Sweepstakes . So submit your Snapey story ideas ASAP. If we get some crap about Dumbledore this year, Snarky will not be happy.
We loveSnape!Rorschach!

The Curse of the Halfblood Prince continues with new images of Snape released from the film!
First we have a really nice Snape wand action shot…
And then the infamous Unbreakable Vow scene…
And we have to wait HOW long to see this film?
In light of today’s announcement that the release of Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince will be pushed to July 2009, many Snape fen are wondering if the film is cursed. 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.
There’s nothing quite like Snape–ing the day away with fellow fans
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.

Breaking Snape news:Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallowswill be two films both of which will be directed by David Yates. 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 fromHarry 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.
A new study published in the Journal of General Psychology concludes what most of us in fandom already knew:Harry Potter is addictive. 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.
On February 9, 2008, Snarky was dispatched with a very important email to all folks on the Depraved Lunatic Registration list explaining keys details about SnapeFest. If you didn’t receive the email or lost it and can’t find your Remembrall, here it is…

The cast and crew from Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince is currently shooting at Gloucester Cathedral in England. 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…
He has a bit of a tummy in this one (cute!
In Episode 26, we promised that before awarding the Snapecast Snarkiest Awards to the Snarkiest chapters and books of the series we would get input from the Snape fans. Please answer the questions in the poll and let us know which chapter and book you think have the highest Snape Factor. {democracy:18}{democracy:19}
The usually tight–lipped actor spoke a little bit about our favorite Potions Master at a recent interview at the Sundance Film Festival. 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.
Although the Snapecast Express has switched to a new schedule, snapecast.com will continue to operate on a regular basis.

Despite Prophecy being an inspiration for our upcoming Canadian episode, Rose was the only Snapeologist who was able to attend the conference which was held in Toronto August 2–5. Snarky was close by her side and the two of them got some fantastic pictures…

Before the release of Epsiode 21, here are some more pictures from the Snapecasters at Sectus. This series depicts our journey to the Waterstone’s at Leicester Square in London where Potter fans from all over the world were queuing for days in anticipation ofHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. These folks were desperately in need of shampoo so Snapecast to the rescue!
Here are some crazy shots of the massive line…
The Snapecast staff is just starting to settle down from the craziness that wasHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We apologize for taking so long to post pictures from our adventures in London for the book release, but we figure they are better late than never. The pics will be coming in several batches. First up is our meetup at Potion ……
The venue was just too perfect
The weather was dreadful, but Snape fans are determined
Just a reminder that today is your last chance to vote for Snapecast (along with some other awesome Harry Potter podcasts) in this year’s Podcast Awards . We were nominated in the Entertainment category and a link to voting form can be found here .
Thanks to everyone who nominated us and who has voted for us so far. Maybe winning this will make up for Snape losing that Order of Merlin in Book 3…or maybe not.

Hello Muggles and other assorted humans and human–type things, it is I, Snarky the Owl. Thanks for picking out that name for me, by the way. One fangirl too many decides that “Snarky” is an appropriate name for an owl of my stature, and suddenly the dunderheads who keep me in peanut butter and pretzels start using it to order me around. Brilliant. Anyway, I’ve commandeered one of the dunderheads’ computers so I can bring something of utmost importance to your attention.
Snapey holiday goodness for everyone who’s been a little naughty this year.

Having a costume that was slightly too big didn’t stop Rachael from dressing up as Snape for Halloween. The Snape–ish frock she purchased was just stretchy enough to accomodate a belly, thus enabling Rachael to cosplay a version of Severus that is completely fandom–created.

And the saga continues…
Severus Snape had just settled down for an evening of pleasure reading, his well–worn copy ofHow to Betray Friends and Humiliate Peopleby D.V.S. Naipaul on his lap when a sudden noise interrupted the quiet.‘Hullooo, Professor Snape!‘Snape nearly spilled his glass of firewhiskey, Wormtail having polished off the last of the wine during another one of his pathetic late night binges.
‘Nigel,’ he said irritably to the head protruding from the grate in the fireplace, ‘it’s late.

“Pathetic,” Snape scoffed as he peered down his long nose at the parchment that had just arrived by owl.
Scribbled across it were a few terse lines from a squib acquaintence of his who was unusually tapped into Muggle exploits on something called the Interweb.

6 Days until Snapecast Episode 1
The next segment we’d like to highlight is a little something calledLove Potion Number 9 3/4.
Snape and fanfiction takes many forms. But nothing seems to capture the imagination of the fandom more than Snape paired up with someone else in a romantic or erotic entanglement. This segment looks at Snape as he
s shipped in various forms, and how he
s portrayed as a romantic/sex partner.
7 Days until Snapecast Episode 1"I was walking home from work the other day when I passed a man making a small child cry. I immediately thought of Snape and all the students he’s brought to tears over the years and I began to wonder: Are there any benefits to using humiliation as a form of classroom management
"
Let’s get introspective for a while. The next segment we’d like to highlight,This Slytherin Lifeissnapecast’s answer to This American Life , and takes the form of brief first–person testimonials, reflective essays, or journalistic non–fiction.
8 days until Snapecast Episode #1…
To make our countdown more interesting, the Snapecast staff has decided to post a little blurb about each of the segments you have to look forward to in upcoming episodes of Snapecast. We thought we’d start out with the most analytical of the bunch…Snarky Chapters.
Snarky Chapters is roundtable discussion focused on the snarkiest chapters in the Harry Potter series, in other words, the ones that feature Severus Snape.
I’ve always been a subject of ridicule. As a student, I was the focus of a never–ending succession of taunts and derogatory comments. As a teacher instructing the imbecilic spawn of my old tormentors, I received the same treatment. The only difference being that my students made sure to jeer and start their vulgar rumors where I might never catch them at it.
So it came as no surprise to me when, in the midst of my usual meal at a local pub near my summer quarters, I caught the unmistakable sound of feminine giggling and fervent whispering wafting in my direction from the booth just behind me.
You may be skeptical that anyone could fill a whole podcast with solely Snape–related material, but rest assured we’ve come up with plenty. Here’s an overview of the various segments you can expect to hear:
Snarky Chapters
Roundtable discussion of Snape–centric chapters across the series in which our panelists grapple with the development of Snape’s character, his relationship to Harry, and his role in the series.

Need we say more?
Not Another Bloody Potter Podcast!
50 points from Gryffindor for whining.
This is most certainly NOT just another bloody Potter Podcast. Snapecast is the only Harry Potter Podcast solely focused around the character of Professor Severus Snape, arguably the most interesting and most polarizing character of the series. Every month, we’ll delve into his inner psyche, analyze his motivations, interview his biggest fans and detractors, read his post, and make fun of his hygiene.
Snapecast is the only podcast that is guaranteed all Snape, all the time. Every month we grapple with deep and probing issues such as Snape’s loyalty, Snape’s pain, Snape’s snark, and of course, Snape’s fabulous fashion sense. So whether you love Snape, love to hate him, or just don’t know what to think, we invite you to listen in and enjoy the snark. Contact us: severus@snapecast.com

Welcome to the Headmaster’s Gallery. Feel free to visit often and browse. Those with sticky fingers (and tricky wands) should plan to do their pilfering elsewhere. Only the strongest of sticking charms were used to anchor these portraits. Children are advised to leave their Chocolate Frogs at home and to keep their hands in their pockets. All guests are strongly advised to please not disturb the Headmaster when he’s sleeping or risk facing his ire.
This list is a work in progress. If you have an entry to add or any comments about this list, let us know at severus@snapecast.com .\
