On this page are some of the finest picks from my channeling of young Severus Snape (played in the movies by Alec Hopkins). Many are part of a series – similar photos in the same location.
This character of a brilliant but troubled young mind is one which I feel many can identify: he is every one of us who has been bullied, outcast, or misunderstood, or lost a friend due to an interest in something a bit dark or "dodgy". In my case, I was an intellectual weirdo who was bullied – even while being a starting varsity forward, I was still an outcast! (I tried.) And yes, I had the word "freak" used about myself, too. Along with "witch" (thank you), "bitch", "icebox"... But thank Gods I had nice parents.
The Studious Severus
"Perfect. Now, if everyone will just leave me alone..."
Now, you did understand that 'leave me alone' part, right? Sev in his favorite haunt behind the tower. "My God, that is sexy!" –HS
Reshooting this one over and over (yes, I shoot all my own shots), getting into that position again and again in a span of twelve seconds, was a real workout, but fun. Poor Severus.
Whatever's going on in his wicked little mind, we probably don't want to know. Chances are it's a foul brew containing Potter, Venomous Tentacula, and maybe a few curses from one of the Dark magic tomes in the Restricted Section.
I love that snarky look. You don't notice it at first – sneaks up on you.
Every bullied kid who's longed to taste blood. Brings me right back to high school! If only I wasn't so cautious of getting arrested. As it was, I did get away with breaking all their codes. Do not screw with a Slytherin.
