The word legend is overused but if it applies to anyone in our industry then it applies to her.
Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley in the seven films,posted on Instagramin tribute to Smith.
My favourite scene with Maggie was when we were all learning to dance for the Yule Ball.
She embodied that perfect balance of sass and loving care that McGonagall has.
She kept Gryffindors on their toes.
My deepest condolences to Maggies family at this time.
She was real, honest, funny and self-honoring.
Maggie, there were a lot of male professors and by God you held your own.
Thank you for all of your kindness.

Ill miss you Maggie.
Sending all my love to her family.

Thank you for looking after us from literally day one.
Thank you for not getting me kicked off the set when I couldnt stop giggling during your transfiguration class.
