Happy Birthday, Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman! (21 February 1946)

“It’s the actor’s old, old plea — don’t fence me in! There are qualities of the sick, the selfish, the manipulator or the looker-on in all those parts but their minds extend in wildly different areas and they each have a particular vulnerability that has to be found. You play one of those parts [‘villains’] remotely successfully and before you know it you’ve got this label around your neck. And a label is not how I see myself at all. I’m as neurotic as the next person when it comes to being asked constantly to produce qualities which actually have nothing to do with you. One longs for a director with a sense of imagination rather than being filed away under ‘blond, uptight’ or ‘dark, sulky’ or whatever. The aim is never to generalize. That’s your job [as an actor], really. It’s about seeing [a character] in three dimensions as much as possible. If you can’t see him in three dimensions — and you can’t, always, certainly in the movies — then it’s about dealing in as much ambiguity as possible, so the audience has their own relationship with the character. It’s about pulling the rug out from people’s preconceptions. See if you can write an entire article without using the words ‘villain’ or ‘bad guy’ once. I don’t see any of [my characters] as one word. It doesn’t matter what I’m playing: it’s not one word, and I think any actor would say the same.”

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Chapter Six: Gilderoy Lockhart

It was pandemonium. The pixies shot in every direction like rockets. Two of them seized Neville by the ears and lifted him into the air. Several shot straight through the window, showering the back row with broken glass. The rest proceeded to wreck the classroom more effectively than a rampaging rhino. They grabbed ink bottles and sprayed the class with them, shredded books and papers, tore pictures from the walls, up-ended the waste basket, grabbed bags and books and threw them out of the smashed window; within minutes, half the class was sheltering under desks and Neville was swinging from the iron chandelier in the ceiling.

I remember when I first met you all. Biggest bunch of misfits I ever set eyes on! You reminded me of myself a little. And here we all are, four years later.

It was only when he was back in bed that it struck Harry that Dumbledore might not have been quite truthful. But then, he thought, as he shoved Scabbers off his pillow, it had been quite a personal question.
