Alan Rickman has said that the end of the Harry Potter films is "a cause for celebration".
The 65-year-old, who plays Severus Snape in the movies, insisted that JK Rowling's story reached a satisfying conclusion and that the end of the series is not a bad thing.
"The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end," he told the Los Angeles Times.
"The ending of this story was quite popular and beautifully judged by Jo Rowling and [director] David Yates, so it's not a cause for sadness; it's a cause for celebration that it was rounded off so well."
Rickman went on to say that the films played a large part in his life for years.
"It was a punctuation mark in my life every year because I would be doing other things but always come back to that and I was always aware of my place in the story even as others around me were not," he said.
Rickman is currently starring on Broadway in the musical comedy Seminar.
In May, the actor praised Rowling in a letter he penned shortly after finishing his work on the Harry Potter films.
