Her death has plunged the cinema, theater, and television worlds into mourning. Particularly, Harry Potter fans shared numerous emotional messages on social media about the character of Minerva McGonagall.

Following Maggie Smith's death, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe also released a farewell message.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Radcliffe stated, 'I was 9 years old when I first met Maggie Smith. I worked with her for the first time on stage in David Copperfield. My family was a fan of hers, but I didn’t know much about her. All I knew was that she held the title of 'Dame,' and when I asked her if she wanted me to address her that way, she replied, 'Don't be ridiculous.''

Daniel Radcliffe continued,

'I was nervous when I first met her, but she was such a kind person. I feel very lucky to have worked with her for another 10 years in the Harry Potter films. She was sharp-witted, quick-tongued, and incredibly funny. The word 'legend' is used very often in our industry, but if anyone deserves that title, it's definitely her.'

Daniel Radcliffe concluded his farewell to Minerva McGonagall with the words, "Thank you, Maggie."
