An emotional farewell to Maggie Smith, the English actress who died today. It was his family who announced it: the sweetest memory with Daniel Radcliffe, the actor at his side for eight years and not only in Harry Potter.
We saw them together in eight films: he the undisciplined student with incredible potential, she the iron teacher, eager only to protect him and see him at the maximum of his possibilities. Daniel Radcliffe and Maggie Smith they played it masterfully Harry Potter and Professor Minerva McGonagall in the various adaptations based on the novels of JK Rowling. Today the actress leaves us at 89 years old, creating an unbridgeable void that nothing and no one can fill.
Winner of two Oscars and protagonist of iconic films and TV series, it is certainly for this role that a very large segment of people of all ages and all over the world have learned to love her. It’s impossible not to think of the entire cast of the series, who in recent years have seen pillars of the saga leave too soon, who for eight years were part of a unique project. On a sad day for her loved ones and many fans, we want to remember her precisely in relation to the boy wizard prodigy and their relationship. Something brought them together shortly before the incredible success of the saga which contributed to an extraordinary friendship and stratospheric success.
Maggie Smith has left us: the tender anecdote that saw her with Radcliffe before Harry Potter
Surely very few will remember this tender anecdote, today more than ever useful to make us say goodbye to Smith as she deserves. Fans of the most beloved saga in the world are suffering, but there remain eight iconic films to see and re-watch to miss the actor less. His relationship with the actor, who was very young at the time when he was chosen for The Philosopher’s Stonehas always been wonderful. Together with the other older actors, the then already veteran took him under her wing together with the other two colleagues, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. They grew up drawing from their art, which was fundamental in the many years of being on set.
Perhaps you don’t know that the two actually acted together elsewhere and in a drama produced before the creation of the iconic film saga. We are in 1999 and it is the TV adaptation of David Copperfieldbeloved novel by Charles Dickens. Radcliffe is the protagonist, while Smith plays his aunt. It aired between Christmas and Boxing Day and a few months later, the two found themselves together again on the set of Harry Potter starting a wonderful never-ending story.
