Big Death Scene change in HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS Part 2 and J.K. Rowling Approves

There's been a big change to a death scene in the final Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I will warn you now... this is major spoiler territory. The site I found it on actually spoiled it in the damned title of their article. So this big bit of news has been killed for me, and there's no more surprise for me.

If you're a fan of the Harry Potter films and have not read the books, then you might not want to read on, but if you've read the books, and you don't mind knowing about the big change, go ahead and read.

The art director for the Harry Potter film series, Andrew Ackland-Snow, recently did an interview with Cine Premiere Mexico in which he revealed new information which states that the death of Severus Snape has changed, and that J.K. Rowling approved it.

We wanted to change a bit where Snape dies. In the book, he dies on the Shrieking Shack, and we wanted to get him out from, not a conventional interior, but from that kind of box, to do it in a more dramatic atmosphere. We asked J.K. if she agreed for that to happen in there, because we hadn't really seen it before. We made a crystal house, and you can see what happens in the boat house from there - Are you listening Harry? -, but also the school is in flames...and she loved it. Besides, it's a very romantic place to die. Snape dies in a extremely good way, I gotta say.

See, my big thing is I didn't even know Snape dies! That right there is a huge spoiler for me, and I'm sad I won't get the experience of surprise as it unfolds on the big screen. Oh well, it goes along with the territory of reading through a ton of news like this every day... it's the risk I take in being a movie blogger. 

What do you all think of the change that's been made to Snape's death though?
