Daniel Radcliffe eulogizes Harry Potter’s co-star, Professor Minerva as a legend

Beloved “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe who starred as the lead character in the movie adaptions of the J.K Rowling’s books with the same title is mourning the death of his co-star Dame Maggie Smith who passed away yesterday evening.

Maggie played the role of beloved Professor Minerva McGonagall in all eight of the film adaptations of the book series which spawned from 2001 to 2011.

Eulogizing the late British star, who according to family, passed away “peacefully in hospital” at the age of 89, Daniel hailed her as a incredibly kind and funny person who “could intimidate and charm in the same instant,”

“The first time I met Maggie Smith I was 9 years old and we were reading through scenes for David Copperfield, which was my first job,” Daniel, now aged 35 told Page 6 in part adding that his parents were “awestruck” over the fact that he’d get to work with her.
