For the record...

And in response to a couple of appalled comments on my previous post, I never suggested Rowan Atkinson should play Snape. I just said that in this particular pic, Rowan Atkinson's hair looked like I think Snape's would if he took proper care of it. Not the same thing. :)

On the other hand, look at the sketch of Snape drawn by J.K. Rowling herself, and tell me that her version doesn't look a lot more like Atkinson than he does like Alan Rickman...?!

I've only seen the first couple episodes of Blackadder and gave up with those. Didn't care for it.

If it was Blackadder I, in which he is a hideous buffoon and most of the comedy seems to be slapstick, I don't blame you. But some of the later ones -- I'm especially fond of Blackadder III, which is set during the Regency -- are enormously witty and clever. Mind you, they are also enormously rude in parts, alas, but that's typical of many British comedies, it seems...

It was Blackadder I. Didn't realize the subsequent series were different. Perhaps I'll give the later ones a whirl.
