It's that time of year again. Snapecast has an owl on the way to wish everyone's favorite snarky professor a happy 52nd birthday...

How will you be celebrating?

We're Back

2011-11-09T03:04:34Z

Due to a problem with blibbering-humdingers in the server (that may or may not have had anything to do with one snarky professor), snapecast.com was down for a while. We've called in an expert to take care of the infestation and are back. Stay tuned for further Snape-ing!

Snapey Stuff at Sakura Con

2011-04-30T04:17:55Z

Although many Snape fen are currently enjoying themselvess at Aeternitas, Becca and Rachael recently spotted some Snape at a non-HP convention, Sakura Con. There was not much, but we did see...

A Snapey keychain from Gum Gum...

Some Snily fanart from Nuriko Kun...

And we think this might be a silver doe/stag thing...

Hey, we see a bit of Snape in everything. ;)

Compelling Snape Pics from DH Part 2

2011-03-21T01:24:45Z

A recent video from ABC Family featured previews of Deathly Hallows Part 2, which included some haunting pictures of Snape. We took some screencaps. Be sure to click on the images for the larger size and Snape in all his glory.

So what does everyone think? Is this Snape outside the Potter's house? Are we going to get flashbacks?

You didn't think we would forget the Professor's birthday did you?

2011-01-08T22:05:06Z

The Snapeologists at Snapecast know we have been dreadfully slow about an episode in reaction to Deathly Hallows Part I, but don't lose hope yet. All good Snape fans know what special day tomorrow is and we promise we won't let you down. Be on the lookout for something epic and record breaking.

Snape DH Chat Room

2010-11-20T00:46:20Z

While you are waiting for the Snapecasters to get their act together and put out an episode about Deathly Hallows, you can squee with other Snape fen in the Deathly Hallows Snape chat room.

Mr. May

2010-09-19T04:57:19Z

The Professor looks a bit sad as the featured May model for a recent Harry Potter calendar...

Three questions for everyone...

1. Why isn't he Mr. January?
2. Am I the only one who thought the picture in the corner looked like a Barbie doll box?
3. Why isn't there an entire Snape calendar?

Theory of Diminishing Snape Presentation

2010-08-19T02:25:25Z

A number of Snape fen have asked us about posting content for the Theory of Dimishing Snape talk we gave at Infinitus last month. If you are interested in having a look at our highly detailed (and somewhat scientific) analysis, we have a link to the presentation materials here. Please let us know what you think!

Infinitus Report from Snarky

2010-07-20T22:37:15Z

The Muggles who run this podcast are still recovering from their incessant Snape-ing at Infinitus this weekend, but I thought it would be prudent to post about their adventures. I came along to the convention because Rachael told me "it was part of my contract." I was able to hoodwink the Muggles into giving me money and I procured reservations for my own hospitality parlor and king suite.

First they put this ludicrous sign up...

They also decorated my bedroom with gray underpants and a shabby nightshirt...

My bathroom became a monstrosity...

I could not even shower without a Greasy Git in my face...

Then the other Muggles started arriving...

Some of the Muggles were behaving very strangely...

Although I did enjoy eating their food...

I plan to bring a lawsuit for intentional infliction of emotional distress to an owl and am gathering evidence via this Flickr group. Please submit your photos there.

WB has Property of HBP Shirts

Someone is starting to realize that there can never be enough Snape merchandise. WB is selling Property of HBP t-shirts.

2010-06-12T06:37:38Z

Dear Fellow Snape-fen,

You are cordially invited to the Sitting Room at Spinner's End to pass the time sneering, Snape-ing, and ~~hexing Gryffindors~~ socializing over libations, snacks, and greying underpants on Friday evening before the Night of a Thousand Wizards. It is our dearest hope that a few hours relaxing and Snape-ing will provide a much needed break between the stimulating formal programming of Friday afternoon and the excitement and mayhem of the Night of a Thousand Wizards.

Where: The Sitting Room at Spinner's End (hospitality suite in the conference hotel TBA - currently unplottable)

When: 6:00-9:00pm, Friday, July 16th

What: Snape-ing, of course

We kindly ask that you R.S.V.P. via the poll located here.

Infinitus Snape Meetup Comm

Snapecast has a Snape meetup comm for Infinitus over at Livejournal. If you are going to the con and want to meet up and Snape then please come on over and join!

Snape's Death Filmed

2010-02-20T23:39:54Z

Although any good Snape fan is well aware of the fact that the professor does not actually die in the last book, Warner Brothers has announced that the Snape death scene has been filmed. At least we know he'll be in the last film! Now let's hope that the scene is longer than 2 minutes...

HBP: The Corrected Version

2010-01-15T03:44:26Z

In Episode 35, some of the Snapecasters performed a dramatic reading of the "Don't Call Me a Coward" scene from the script for Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince. Please consider this the closest thing we will get to a corrected version of the film.

You can watch it here on the Snapecast YouTube channel.

Deleted Scene #1...with more to come hopefully

2009-11-12T04:30:03Z

A big Snapey thank you to many of our listeners for providing this news tip. If you have not seen it already check out the haunting deleted scene from HBP which, in our opinion, is all about Snape.

Snape fen can only hope that there is more where this came from.

Remembering simons_flower

2009-08-12T05:32:26Z

Today the Harry Potter fandom realized a tragic loss. simons_flower--podcaster, prolific fan fic writer, Ravenclaw, mother, and master of snark--was laid to rest in a cemetery in Washington state. As a mentor to new writers, host of the Quaffle Talk podcast, and valued friend to all who knew her, simons _flower touched more lives than can be expressed in the form of a post to this blog. Although her death was sudden and much too soon, it served as an example to illustrate the love and kinship in this fandom. Sometimes pictures are more effective than words in expressing emotions and that may be the case here...

Back from Snape-ing at Azkatraz

2009-07-23T02:40:55Z

The Snapecast staff has returned from Azkatraz so be on the lookout for a recap episode shortly. In the mean time, here are a few memorable moments from the con...

Snarky was super naughty, receiving multiple arrest warrants for pooping on conference patrons, breach of employee confidentiality, tampering with mail, and other owl-related offenses...

There was also a beautiful Snape profile at the con...

Also Snape must have escaped from our hotel room because we did have a Snape-shaped hole....

If you would like to see pics from the Snapecast Meetup at The Press Club there is a Flickr group here.

Spinner's End Squee

2009-07-02T21:34:11Z

It looks like we FINALLY have our first glimpse of Spinner's End in all its shabby glory...

Some more of the wig...

And there's a video clip of the Trio and Ginny discussing the Advanced Potions book.

Windblown!Snape Confirmed

2009-06-18T07:13:18Z

It turns out that the poster with Snape and his greasy locks blowing in the wind was legit. Click on the image below for the high res version of what Mugglenet is calling the "bad guys poster". Man, what will it take for Snape to lose this "villain" reputation?
