Professor McGonagall casts her last spell 

Many fans and supporters of Maggie Smith, who was known for being a British actor, are experiencing great grief due to her recent passing less than a month ago, on the 27th of September 2024, by old age.

Maggie, full name: Dame Margret Natalie Smith, has starred in many films and episodes such as Sister Act, The Last September, Downtown Abbey, Young Cassidy, Othello, the Harry Potter series and many more.

In an interview with the AP, actor Saoirse Ronan said countless people were miserable about Maggie’s death. “My wife and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dame Maggie Smith.  Daniel Radcliff quoted his side: “She was among the most talented women ever to live. She left an amazing legacy, and she’ll always be remembered.” This shows that Daniel thinks she puts a lot of effort into her films and life.

Her most famous spell in the Harry Potter series is the spell that made objects come to life, ‘Piertotum Locomotor’.

Rest in peace, and have a good cup of tea with Dumbledore.
