The end is here. It’s been ten years since the first Harry Potter film exploded into our lives and we’ve watched Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson), and Ron (Rupert Grint) grow up before our movie-watching eyes. Today, the conclusion to the Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, premieres and one storyline that has stretched throughout all of the films is that of Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman).

Snape was trusted by Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), but Harry never trusted him and it was Snape who cast the spell that killed the greatest wizard who ever lived. Where do Snape’s allegiances truthfully lie?  Check out this featurette that tells the story of Severus Snape:
