As a lifelong fan of the magical world created by JK Rowling, the news of Maggie Smith’s passing has left me utterly devastated. Her portrayal of Professor McGonagall was not just an act; it was a living embodiment of wisdom, strength, and the unwavering spirit that defines Hogwarts.
This morning, it was sadly announced that Maggie Smith, most recognized for her iconic portrayal of Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter movie franchise, had passed away. Upon hearing this news, Harry Potter author JK Rowling expressed her tribute to the late British actress through a post on social media platform X, previously known as Twitter.
With a photo of Smith depicting Professor McGonagall, JK Rowling paid tribute with a brief note. In it, she sorrowfully admitted she believed the actress would never die, possibly hinting at her remarkable career, lasting for many decades and filled with memorable roles.
I had believed she would never die. Farewell, Dame Maggie Smith,” is a paraphrased version of the post shared on J.K. Rowling’s personal X account.
Somehow I thought she’d live forever.
