“Well she got me the job at Potter, practically, so for anyone who doesn’t know that story, I basically owe everything to Maggie Smith because I worked with her on David Copperfield and then she came on to Potter as McGonagall and said to the director, ‘You need to audition this boy.’ So I kind of owe her everything, so to Maggie I just say my fairy godmother.” — Daniel Radcliffe (on the first thing that comes to mind about Maggie)
“Daniel was so lovely to work with. I’m so glad I insisted they see him for the part.” — Maggie Smith (on being part of the Harry Potter films)
I just found out that Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) filmed the Harry Potter movies while battling cancer. During the last movie she had shingles and had to wear a wig. What an amazingly brave and truly inspiring woman.

Maggie: Well how many films take 10 years? That’s what stands out. Then you’re with this character for longer than you are with any other character ever. So thats… that’s the legacy.
