Alan Rickman's 'Harry Potter' cast-mates have been showing their tribute for the actor, who played Professor Snape, on social media, but it looks like some fans have taken offence at a particular tweet from Emma Watson.

The 25-year-old actress' tweet was an image of Rickman with a quote from the late actor imposed over it. The quote read, "There is nothing wrong with a man being a feminist, I think it is to our mutual advantage," reports New.com.au.

Despite the sentiment behind the message, some Twitter users have criticised the Watson, famous for playing Hermione Granger in the Potter films, for pushing her own feminist agenda.

Tweets like, "Emma, you are a repugnant human being using his death to push your agenda. Go f**k yourself, t**t," have flooded the micro-blogging site.
