One of the world’s most beloved inventions is the Harry Potter universe. Whether they are found in J.K. Rowling’s writings or on screen, people are drawn to her tales because of their uniqueness, action, and compelling characters.
A large portion of the film series’ enormous success on the big screen stemmed from the skill of the actors who brought the characters from the books to life.
Regretfully, several of the actors from the Potter movies have sadly gone away over time—the latest one was released more than ten years ago.
In the Harry Potter world, Dame Maggie Smith, a legendary British actress, portrayed the famous character of Professor Minerva McGonagall.
She starred in seven of the eight movies from the first run of motion pictures; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 being the only one she missed. The news of Dame Maggie’s death broke on September 27, 2024.
