This year has hardly started and we’re saying goodbye to yet another fan favorite. Actor, Alan Rickman, who many will remember him the most as Professor Severus Snape from the Harry Potter films, has passed away at the age of 69.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Alan was surrounded his beloved ones while he passed. The cause of death was a bout with cancer that the actor had been battling for quite some time.
