Alan Rickman Birthday: Harry Potter Fans Mournfully Unite

Alan Rickman, the actor who plays Snape in the "Harry Potter" movie series is celebrating his 66th Birthday. Although the news appeared good to some, Harry Potter fans became remorseful over the mention of the actor's name, which has served as a reminder that Harry Potter is no more.

"It was so good up until the end. He never said that quote from the last picture in any article or interview or anything public. Please don't spread it around any more [sic] than it already has been!" Leah wrote on the Crushable comment blog, refuting the bogus quote.

"It does seem too good to be true that he said something so eloquent," Jenni Maier added.
