Remember the young Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies? You won’t believe what actor Benedict Clarke looks like now
Benedict Clarke, who was 15 at the time, played the character in the final Harry Potter film Deathly Hallows: Part 2 which was released in 2011
IT'S ALMOST six years since the final instalment of the Harry Potter series was released and we met the young Severus Snape in a climatic flashback.
Benedict Clarke was just 15 when he landed the role in Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which hit screens in 2011.
Benedict played the young version of Alan Rickman’s character, Professor Snape, as it was revealed he used to be in love with boy wizard Harry's mum Lily Potter.
During the last scenes of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Benedict’s character comforts Harry’s mum, who's a child in the sequence, as she realises she has magical powers.
Filming of Benedict’s scenes only lasted four days and was split between the Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden and on location at Hatfield House, both in Hertfordshire.
