Alec Hopkins Biography
Alec Hopkins is a British actor. He will be playing the part of Young Severus Snape in the fifth film adaptation of Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He is, as of September 2006, twenty years old.
Alec was a member of Shining Lights Youth Theatre directed by Pete Watt, and was very favourably reviewed for his role in Arabian Nights. [1]
His photograph can be found at MuggleNet.com. On 6 September 2006, Hopkins conducted an interview with Newbury Today, and revealed that he chatted with Alan Rickman, who plays the adult version of Snape, and that he watched Rickman on set to get an idea of how he acted.
Alec will only be in one scene of the movie, known as "Snape's Worst Memory" in which Snape is tormented by the Marauders (consisting of James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew). Lily Evans comes to his rescue, and his humiliation at being rescued by a female muggleborn is so great that he calls her a mudblood. The memory is revealed when Harry stumbles across Snape's pensieve after an Occlumency lesson.
