Professor Snape Has Finally Revealed Why He Can't Stand Harry Potter
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, February 26, 2015
Snape went on the record to clarify why he has no time for “The Boy Who Lived”.
Professor Snape is not the biggest fan of Harry Potter, we all know that.
But he has now gone on the record to clarify exactly why.
Warner Bros. Pictures
Earlier this month, it was announced Michael Snape will be taking on the position in September.
And the soon-to-be Professor Snape was quick to give his opinions on the fictional series that continues to haunt him.
Asked by The Telegraph if he'd ever read J.K. Rowling's books, he replied: “I have to say, in absolute honesty, that I have never read a syllable of Harry Potter.
"I’m only aware of these characters from the general cultural air we breathe, and from my children and spouse, who have read the books.”
Pushed on why he hadn't decided to read up on his namesake, Snape replied: “They [the books] look a bit too long and boring."
He added: "The only interest I had – and it was mild, I have to stress – was whether Snape would turn out to be a good guy or a bad guy. But even that wouldn’t induce me to pick up a novel."
He told the newspaper: "It was nice to see so many people who are clearly fans so evidently enjoying themselves, but I could have been happily in and out in half the time.
"The catering was reasonably cheap."
The 46-year-old historian added that he was more interested in the two places in Britain called Snape than J.K. Rowling's character.

What Malcolm X’s Daughter Wants You To Know About Her Father’s Legacy
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, February 26, 2015
50 years after Malcolm X’s assassination, his daughter Ilyasah Shabazz published a young adult novel based on her father’s life. Here’s what she had to say about it.
Candlewick Press / weneeddiversebooks.org
Ilyasah Shabazz, the daughter of Civil Rights leader Malcolm X, uses the power of her words to accomplish something important to her: taking her father's legacy into her own hands and recording the history of his life. The author has published four titles: Growing Up X, a memoir about her experience growing up as Malcolm X's daughter in the wake of his death; The Diary of Malcolm X: El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz; and a children's book called Malcolm Little: The Boy Who Grew Up to Become Malcolm X. Most recently, Shabazz co-wrote X: A Novel along with Kekla Magoon and told the story of her father's life prior to becoming Malcolm X in the format of a young adult novel.
The book follows Malcolm Little's journey from his childhood in the country to his time hustling in the streets of New York and Boston. While The Autobiography of Malcolm X is told by an adult Malcolm reflecting on his life, X is told from the perspective of a young Malcolm, who grapples with his self-worth as society and the state tears his life apart. The novel focuses on the importance of family in shaping the activist and ends moments after Malcolm Little first adopts the name Malcolm X.
BuzzFeed had the chance to talk to Ilyasah Shabazz about X: A Novel and her father's legacy 50 years after he was assassinated. Here's what she had to say:

"Mein Kampf" To Be Republished In Germany For The First Time Since World War II
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, February 26, 2015
Germany’s Institute for Contemporary History will publish a new, annotated version of the controversial book.
Hidajet Delic / ASSOCIATED PRESS
The copyright for the Nazi manifesto has been held by the state of Bavaria for 70 years, which prohibited its reissue.
But that copyright expires in December, meaning a new, heavily annotated, version will be published by Germany's Institute for Contemporary History in January.
Via telegraph.co.uk
Rather than a how-to guidebook for the aspiring fascist, the new reprint, the group said this month, will instead be a vital academic tool, a 2,000-page volume packed with more criticisms and analysis than the original text.

Is Snape Actually A Hero?
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, February 26, 2015
It’s time to find out the real answer.
Severus Snape is one of the characters in the Harry Potter series who is equally loved and despised.
Warner Bros / Via blogsmeade.tumblr.com
Some would argue that by risking his life to double-cross Voldemort, he became one of the great heroes of the series.
His love and dedication to Lily make him an endearing character worthy of our empathy.
Warner Bros.
Though on the other hand, many believe that this in no way made up for the fact that he was a Death Eater in the first place.
Nor does it make it OK for him to continually torment and torture his students.
