Ok when I first read this I though a new HP ship was being added to the basketful already mounted up. But now I can laugh at myself for thinking that. Got a bit confused. Love letters... Is this a theme for Valentines day or something. Of course you cant expect much out of Anthony Minghella. Romance is his thing with The English Patient and Cold Mountain under his belt. | |

HAHa, I think that is just..Well..lets say Mr.Rickman knows his talents. Hearing that voice read out loud Love letters:  ***** out on the floor:: JK lol but at the same time hearing Petunia..seems..not..right..tilts head in confusion  Well of coarse we knows it's just the actors but I can't help still having that image Snape, petunia..ugh.

| Snuggy!
We were watcihing PoA in class before winter break and my teacher said, "Now, I dont judge men by their voice, but if I did, I would marry Alan Rickman!" And I have to agree. He has the sexiest voice, lol, and I know he would do great reading poetry!
