Harry Potter's Severus Snape aka Alan Rickman's personal diaries is all set to be published as a book in 2022. Alan who is known for the Harry Potter film franchise, Die Hard, and Love Actually has 27 volumes of handwritten diaries, spanning more than 25 years of his life and career, according to Guardian, which will be edited down to a single book.
The popular film and stage actor, best known for playing Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series, wrote about everything from his thoughts on acting to insights on friendships and politics in his journals.
For the uninformed, Alan died in 2016 at the age of 69 following a battle with cancer, and he had begun writing these diaries in the early 1990s to publish them. Publisher Canongate has acquired the rights to the book, reportedly titled The Diaries of Alan Rickman.
It will be edited by Alan Taylor, editor of the Scottish Review of Books, who also put together The Country Diaries, a collection of pastoral journalist from Beatrix Potter, Dorothy Wordsworth, John Fowles and more. Alan's wife Rima Horton said she is looking forward to the book.
Speaking about the same, his wife said, "I'm delighted that Canongate will be publishing Alan’s diaries and couldn’t have wished for a finer appointment of an editor than Alan Taylor. The diaries reveal not just Alan Rickman the actor but the real Alan – his sense of humour, his sharp observation, his craftsmanship and his devotion to the arts."
Meanwhile, editor Alan Taylor said that Alan's diaries were "anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid".
"They make compulsive reading and offer a peerless insight into the daily life of a remarkable actor, who was as beloved in the US as he surely was in the UK," he said.
He continued writing these diaries until his death.
