Dame Maggie Smith Has Passed Away at 89
We are deeply saddened to report that Dame Maggie Smith, beloved actress known to Harry Potter fans for portraying Professor McGonagall, has passed away at the age of 89.
Her two sons, Toby Stephens and Chris Larkin have released a statement saying“It is with great sadness we have to announce the death of Dame Maggie Smith.”
She passed away peacefully in hospital early this morning, Friday 27th September. An intensely private person, she was with friends and family at the end. She leaves two sons and five loving grandchildren who are devastated by the loss of their extraordinary mother and grandmother. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful staff at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for their care and unstinting kindness during her final days. We thank you for all your kind messages and support and ask that you respect our privacy at this time.
Our deepest sympathies are with Smith’s family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time.
Last year, Sir Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore) passed away when I was happily exploring and unleashing my inner Potterhead at the Warner Bros. Studios in London. This year, on the same day, Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) has also passed. A very memorable day indeed, I will always remember their efforts in making the Harry Potter series so much better than it was already. They will be missed and RIP.
