Oscar-winning actor Dame Maggie Smith, best known for her role as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series, passed away on Friday, September 27, at the age of 89. The Harry Potter team paid tribute to the beloved actress, who had a distinguished career in film and theater. Daniel Radcliffe, who worked with Smith on his first role in David Copperfield, remembered her as "incredibly kind." He fondly recalled meeting her at the age of 9 and her laughter when he asked if he should call her "Dame." Smith's death marks the end of an era for the film industry.
