Daniel Radcliffe has claimed that Alan Rickman deserves award nominations for his portrayal as Severus Snape in the final Harry Potter film.
The acclaimed British actor has appeared as the Hogwarts professor turned headmaster in all eight films of the series based on JK Rowling's best-selling novels.
Radcliffe recently described Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 as being "pretty spectacular", while acknowledging Rickman's "stunning" final outing as Snape as being "quite possibly the film performance of his career".
"The performance that I found most moving was Alan Rickman," Radcliffe said. "I've said this in interviews a lot recently, and I'll keep saying it, because I do think it's the film performance of his career.
"I think he should get nominations for 'Best Supporting Actor', because I just think... it's so touching and heart-wrenching and beautiful what he does. I'm really thrilled to share the screen with him."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 opens in cinemas next Friday, July 15.
