Francesca Gardiner talked about wanting Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape in the HBO HARRY POTTER TV series “Professor Snape requires an extraordinary actor. He has to be intimidating, dangerous, sometimes very funny, but there’s also an enormous amount that he’s concealing. You need someone who can make you feel that there’s a whole other story unfolding beneath the one you’re watching. Someone who can convey depth and complexity without necessarily saying a word. Someone with real intensity. Paapa is one of those rare actors who can do all of that.” (vanityfair.com/story/paapa-e…)

“I’m not trying to break anybody’s nothing. After this, we’re not going to burn the books. We’re not going to remove the DVDs of the films. It’s not the end of that. That all still exists.” Francesca Gardiner for @VanityFair, talking about Paapa Essiedu for the role of Severus Snape in HBO’s HARRY POTTER and the Philosopher’s Stone
