J.K. Rowling, otherwise known as the lady who wrote those books about the wizard school, has an annual tradition, started in 2015, where she apologizes for a particularly unjust death that has saddened die-hard Harry Potter fans.
Regardless of where you stand on Snape Revisionism, his death was one of the most significant.
Both deaths were tragic, and yet fit with Potter’s theme of victory through self-sacrifice.
Cautioning fans not to go off the rails, and no doubt knowing full well that they absolutely would, Rowling tweeted that she was very sorry for killing off Severus Snape.
