Daniel Radcliffe Pays Tribute to Maggie Smith: ‘Harry Potter’ Co-Star Was ‘A Fierce Intellect’ With a ‘Gloriously Sharp Tongue’
Daniel Radcliffe paid tribute to his longtime "Harry Potter" co-star Maggie Smith, who died at 89 years old.
Radcliffe starred in the title role of all eight movies, while Smith appeared in every “Harry Potter” movie except “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” as Professor Minerva McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor House and the deputy headmistress at Hogwarts under Albus Dumbledore. “She was a fierce intellect, a gloriously sharp tongue, could intimidate and charm in the same instant and was, as everyone will tell you, extremely funny,” Radcliffe added. Her performance as Minerva McGonagall turned the character into one of the franchise’s most beloved supporting players and made Smith a recognizable face among a younger generation of moviegoers.
