On January 14, 2016, we lost one of the major faces of the Harry Potter films and franchise: Alan Rickman, who played the character of Severus Snape.

Rickman, a seasoned actor who had appeared in previous films such as "Dogma" (1999), "Sweeney Todd" (2007), "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" (1991), and more, passed away from cancer, surrounded by his family and loved ones.

With Rickman's passing, the Harry Potter community and fan base is mourning the loss of a great man, role model, and actor. Hundreds of Harry Potter fans, the actors from the films, and those who were fans of Rickman's work, have shown an online outpouring of support, admiration, and love for the former "Potions Professor" across the web.

With "A Celebration of Harry Potter" coming up at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, from January 29-31, 2016, thousands of Harry Potter fans will be in attendance.

I feel that Universal should add a public memorial to Alan Rickman as part of the activities, and allow Potter fans to celebrate, and mourn, the life and loss of the man who brought Severus Snape to life on the big screen.
