Harry Potter, Alan Rickman loathed Emma Watson’s acting. Here’s the reason

Alan Rickman he is remembered today as one of the greatest British actors of our time. Lending the face to the professor Severus Snape in the saga of Harry Potter, the London interpreter has left an immense legacy to his audience; a legacy that, more than six years after her death, can today be explored not only through her films, but also through her personal diaries, published in October 2022 under the title Madly Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman.

His writings cover a period of eleven years, from 2000 to 2011, thus including the entire production of the saga of harry potter, of which he was the protagonist, with background, personal observations, reflections and curiosities from the set. One of the most interesting passages is the one that reveals the deep and sincere bond that united Rickman and Daniel Radcliffe, interpreter of the young protagonist. In fact, the actor wrote that he admired his colleague’s sensitivity, intelligence and talent, which he has substantially seen grow over the years.

On the contrary, Rickman had been very critical of Emma Watson, the face of Hermione Granger, especially due to her lackluster acting. In a passage from 2003, therefore placeable during the filming of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

the actor writes in his diaries that the young woman seemed to have a lot of difficulties on the set: “These guys need to be directed. They don’t know their lines and Emma’s diction sometimes seems that of an Albanian.’

However, Rickman also added that the actress has managed to make great strides over the years, admitting that even he himself has learned a lot alongside her on set. He described the young colleague as an intelligent and talented person, despite the fact that her approach to acting has often been frustrating, to the point of even leading him to quarrel with the director Alfonso Cuarón, who opposes her not always very kind remarks.

Alan Rickman, we remember, died at the age of 69 on January 14, 2016, after battling prostate cancer for 11 years. What do you think of this behind-the-scenes story from the Harry Potter set? Let us know, as always, in the comments.
