We told you earlier that Alan Rickman, who played Professor Snape in the Harry Potter series, died at the age of 69 after battling cancer. And now, the author of the popular books, JK Rowling, just tweeted about how sad she is to hear this news. Here’s what she said:
There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of Alan Rickman’s death. He was a magnificent actor & a wonderful man.

My thoughts are with Rima and the rest of Alan’s family. We have all lost a great talent. They have lost part of their hearts.
