To all Harry Potter fans... your opinions on this TERRIBLE news please:?

I've watched the trailer several times on Youtube so I was anticipating the movie, especially seeing Alan Rickman again playing Severus Snape. Guess I'll just have to reread the book, making my own mental movie-mine is always better than WB's anyways. Try visualizing all the spoken parts with your memories of the actors and the set in mind. It could help you get over your disappointment.
