Snape: A Definitive Reading
Snape: A Definitive Reading | Lorrie Kim
15 posts | 8 read | 14 to read
The Harry Potter series may be named after the Boy Who Lived, but if you want to know the story, keep your eyes fixed on Severus Snape. This hook-nosed, greasy-haired, grumpy character is one of J.K. Rowling's enduring gifts to English literature. He's the archetypal ill-tempered teacher: acerbic, yet horribly, deliciously funny. When he's in a scene, you can't take your eyes off him. Snape is always the story. - From the Introduction In this examination of J.K. Rowling's most enigmatic character, Lorrie Kim shows us how to sort through the illusions and lies to the man who dared to spy on Voldemort. In his final moments, he asks Harry, and the reader, to "Look at me." This book does just that.

Look what's arrived! No not the dog he lives here. Turns out the Snape book is like a diary of how Snape was feeling during the times of the books. There are quotes from the original books and then a diary of why Snape said what he did, acted hoe he did and how he felt to each moment. His fear also of being exposed to Voldemort as a spy. This looks so so good. Also the latest book by Jamie Littler for his Frostheart series. @Cupcake12 #dogsoflitsy

Cupcake12 The Frostheart series is on TBR. Enjoy x 3y

He‘s the archetypal ill-tempered teacher: acerbic, yet horribly, deliciously funny. Snape is always the story. - From the Introduction. In this examination of J.K. Rowling's most enigmatic character, Lorrie Kim shows us how to sort through the illusions and lies to the man who dared to spy on Voldemort and without whom, Harry's story would have turned out very differently. In his final moments, he asks Harry (and the reader) to "Look at me"

hannah-leeloo @TheWolfbehindTheEyes @CymbaX13 @Cupcake12 and every other Harry Potter lover this is highly recommended!! 3y
Susanita Alan Rickman was perfect casting! 3y

This book was interesting. It was fun to look at Snape step by step through the books and through the story. I‘ve always enjoyed his story. So this was interesting. I had been expecting a fan fiction backstory on Snape so this was not what I thought I was getting but it was decent to read. #harrypotter

This book is not what I was expecting. It‘s sort of interesting but not what I was hoping for. Not even really sure why I‘m continuing to read it. In theory I know I don‘t have to finish it just because I started it and yet I feel compelled to keep reading. #harrypotter #severussnape #potter

julesG Shouldn't it be "How to Disapparate with Snape"? 6y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, I was too caught up in the swishyness to notice (but now that you‘ve pointed it out!!! Yes) 6y

A most mysterious envelope was in my letterbox today.
Occasionally, in the grips of insomnia, I aimlessly browse Etsy (or eBay or book depository or society6) and I guess this was the result... 😂😂😂

I bought a pack of 4, and I have to say - they're all hilarious!

BookFreakOut That's too cute! 😂 8y

Happy birthday Snape. You are one of the best misunderstood villains in fiction. Your anger and hate was totally understandable, and your love and sacrifice made all the difference. ❤️ and the quote "Even after all this time" "Always" is one of the most romantic and heartbreaking ones I've read.
