John Snape of HP

One of the key characters in the sixth Half-Blood Prince is Professor Snape.So John can no longer be as laid-back as the first few films.

Not only did he have to get the script in advance, and play with Snape at home.You have to go to the crew in advance to communicate with director Yates.

That's right - the director of the Harry Potter crew has finally been settled, and there is no need to switch back and forth, giving John a headache.

Because John has never been the main character, but has always felt as a supporting role, so he has never experienced the treatment of the protagonist.Going to the crew again this time, it can be regarded as an eye-opener:

Because I went early, the outdoor background of Hogwarts was still being built.A group of craftsmen climbed up and down, using plaster and wood to create various exquisite stone corridors.

Yates and David were already waiting for him here, and there were more than a dozen people standing far away, all looking at them eagerly and covertly.

"Long time no see, Snape," Yates said first.

——It's not that he and John are unfamiliar with each other to call their surnames, it's obviously making fun of his surname.

"Come on, David, I'm not in costume yet." John smiled helplessly back at him.

He stepped forward to shake hands with Yates, then looked at David next to him—the two embraced immediately.

"Long time no see, David."

"You too, don't you dare to leave the house recently?"

The three laughed.

Yes, don't be confused by this title.The man John embraced was the David he had known for a long time.The producer of the seven Harry Potter films, full name David Heyman.

John Yates, whose full name was also David Yates, shook hands.In order to show intimacy, he can't always call people's last names.In this way, the two people always get confused, just like Hermione and Trelawney, both named Emma.

From here on, they are differentiated by their surnames.

"What do they do?" John followed Yates and Heyman into the studio.Going around the stone corridor, there is a long row of rooms ahead.As they walked, a dozen people followed from a distance, and John noticed.

"Don't worry about them, you'll know later. We'll meet Daniel, Emma, ​​and Rupert in a while." Yates confessed, "Today, you should familiarize yourself with the lines first. You will mainly play against Daniel, and then you will kill him." Dumbledore's few paragraphs are not easy to grasp, you should find out more."

"I see." John agreed, and he looked nervously at a man behind him who had been carrying a camera.

This man seems to be shooting all the time.Is it going to be used as a tidbit in the future?

——John has the truth.

Yates and Heyman took him into the room and left, and the dozen or so people did not follow.There were only four of them in the room.

"John!" Emma's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Which part shall we talk about first?"

Although the other two young men did not speak, they obviously gave him the right to choose.

——This is all the changes brought about by the exposure of Snape's identity.Usually they are on good terms with each other, but they have never seen such a warm look in their eyes.

John flipped through the script and pointed to a section where all four were present.

That was when Harry just came to school this year, was trampled bloody by Malfoy on the train, and then just arrived in the hall.

"Then I will play Dumbledore first? Then you will divide the roles." John pondered for a while and said, "We are very happy to welcome a new teacher this year, Professor Slughorn. It is a former colleague of mine. , he agreed to return to his old job as Potions teacher."

"Potions class?!" Ron and Hermione immediately said in unison, and they turned their heads to stare at Harry together, "But you said—"

"In the meantime, Professor Snape will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts," John said.

"No!" Harry shouted immediately, and he stared at John unacceptably, as if hating him to the bone.

There was a smug look of joy on Snape's stern face, which made him look even more hateful.

"Alright, there's something good about this." Harry gritted his teeth and said, "Snape should be gone in less than a year--Quirrell's life was involved, and I sincerely hope that there will be another murder case." .”

"Wait, Daniel—" Emma suddenly looked at the boy beside her, "You don't look like you hate Professor Snape at all."

John agreed: "You look at me with anger, but not enough hate."

Daniel also broke away from the angry expression.He looked a bit troubled and murmured, "Yeah, I don't hate you enough."

"Think about it, at this moment you hate Snape because of Sirius' death, and you think that if Snape hadn't laughed at him, he wouldn't have gone to the Ministry of Magic to die." Rupert tried to analyze his emotions .

"It makes me feel like an asshole," Daniel grumbled.

"Please, you don't know those things about Professor Snape yet, so forget about them." Emma put her hands on her hips.

It seems that the three of them have gotten used to this kind of mutual analysis and reminder help.

"Then let's do it again." Daniel adjusted his state for a long time, and looked at John with even more resentment.

……

Everyone practiced for a while, and Daniel offered to practice the scene where they killed Dumbledore and ran away.

He led John out of the room and back to the unfinished stone corridor.

The master who was building this section walked away understandingly and watched them practice.

Daniel pulled out his wand and held it in his hand, standing where he was.John kept a distance from him, adjusting his expression to be numb and heavy.He imagined himself to be Severus at that time.

"Quickly imprison!" Daniel shouted angrily.

With a quick wave of his arm, John blocked the spell.

"Fight back! You coward!" Harry yelled at him, but his tone was involuntarily weakened.He paused, then mustered up his momentum and shouted, "Fight back!"

——Daniel, who knew the truth, accused Snape of being a coward because of this, and he himself had no confidence.

John stood there looking at him expressionlessly, without interrupting the scene.

Daniel gasped violently from shouting, he glared at John, tried to make himself look like he was overwhelmed by grief and hatred, and then suddenly fell back, fell to the ground and struggled, which was pretending that he was killed by Bella. The spell hit.

"No! He is the prey of the Dark Lord!" John turned his head, as if frowning at the virtual Bella, and looked at the lunatic with cold eyes.

He stared there for a long time, as if Bella had finally compromised in the stalemate, lifted the spell and left.

Then John turned his head again, glanced at Harry who was still struggling desperately on the ground, and turned to leave.

Harry struggled to stand up, raised his wand abruptly, and shouted out of breath, "Shen Feng Wu Ying!"

Almost at the same time as he was reciting the spell, John turned around abruptly and swiftly, with a flick of his wand, pointed at Harry and whispered: "Bones to pieces!"

As soon as he finished reading, his eyes suddenly became clear, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"John? You read it wrong. It's disarming you." Daniel came out of the scene in confusion.John doesn't usually make the mistake of mispronouncing his lines.

"Sorry." John forced a smile at him, his face ugly.

Should he be grateful that the wand he is using now is a prop wand issued by the crew?Otherwise he should have sent Daniel to the ICU or the morgue by now!

This was all an instinctive reaction left after Severus trained him to fight before, and he could still control it well.Ever since what happened to Voldemort, he's been a bit out of control.

Like just now, with a flick of his wand, he silently added an armor to protect himself, trying to block Harry's sharp attack.Send another blow to pieces and try to fight back... These two steps have not gone through the brain at all, it is an instinctive reaction after being stimulated.

If it weren't for his instinct, he would have been killed by Voldemort when he came up in the alley, but now...he should remember that it was an act.

"Let's do it again." John nodded to Daniel, dismissing his distracting thoughts.

This time he will concentrate and dare not cast another spell.

……

"What do you think?" Charlie asked.

"Isn't this obvious? John must go with us to promote this time." Yates replied.

The two of them stood far away, watching the scene between John and Daniel on the stone corridor down the hill.

"Is this part recorded? It can be used as a sideshow later." Yates said to the side with a smile.

The man next to him holding the camera nodded silently. He had been taking precautions to capture all the actions of the two people in the confrontation.

"Let's go, we should go see how Harris is doing in practice." Yates took Charlie away.

Harris, who played Dumbledore, was in a certain room right now, playing against Draco, who was temporarily playing the role of Harry.

After a tiring day of practice, George drove to pick John up in the evening.

Immersed in that kind of self-loathing, grief, and pain all day, but he had to pretend to be cold and hostile, which made John feel very depressed.

He sat on the back seat, clasping his temples with his hands, resting his elbows heavily on his legs, and kept this position motionless.

George saw it in the rearview mirror, with a hesitant expression on his face.

He wanted to comfort something, but there was no way.After all, John has written the ending, and now he can only shoot the movie according to it.In his opinion, this is still John's own fault.If he hadn't written the ending so badly, he wouldn't feel sorry for Snape now.

John didn't want to explain anything.

Only then did he discover that some things cannot be understood by writing them out.

Just like although he knew these things about Severus, he also wrote them down.Distressed is distressed, but in fact he didn't feel the pain personally.

In the whole day of practice now, he wondered how painful it must have been for Severus to be so emotionally uncomfortable?

He didn't understand until now.
