As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of Harry Potter, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of loss with the passing of Dame Maggie Smith. Known to millions as Professor Minerva McGonagall, her portrayal was not just a character, it was an integral part of the Hogwarts experience for so many.
Actress Maggie Smith, known for her role as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series, passed away on Friday at the age of 89.
Chris Larkin and Toby Stephens, sons of Smith, shared the news that their mother passed away tranquilly at a hospital in London, according to a statement from their representative.
With deep regret, we must share the news that Dame Maggie Smith has passed away. This occurred peacefully in a hospital early on Friday, September 27th. A very private individual, she was surrounded by friends and family when she took her last breath. In a statement, it was revealed that she leaves behind two sons and five adoring grandchildren who are heartbroken by the loss of their remarkable mother and grandmother. We would like to extend our gratitude to the exceptional staff at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for their compassionate care during her final days.
For over seven decades, Smith has been active in her career, starting out in 1934 when she began acting as a teenager on stage at the Oxford Playhouse. Her first appearance on Broadway came later. She received critical acclaim for her work in British theater, participating in productions with both the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
In 1965, Smith received an Oscar nomination for her performance as Desdemona in the movie version of Othello. Then, only four years after that, she clinched the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1969 drama film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
1990 was a pretty special year for me, as I was honored with both a Tony Award and a title of Dame by none other than Queen Elizabeth II. The Tony came from my captivating performance in the play “Lettice and Lovage,” while the Damehood recognized my contributions to the arts. Quite an unforgettable year, wouldn’t you agree?
During her later years, from 2001 to 2011, she took on the role of Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series. Smith gained significant recognition for her portrayal of Violet Crawley over six seasons of Downton Abbey. This role earned her a total of three Emmy Awards.
Smith is survived by her two sons and five grandchildren.
