Actress Emma Watson has paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Maggie Smith, expressing how much she will miss her former Harry Potter co-star.
In a touching message Watson reminisced about their time filming together and profound impact Smith had on her both personally and professionally.
Reflecting on the Harry Potter series, Watson recalled how easy it was to communicate with Smith on set, despite the age and experience gap.
Emma shared her gratitude for having opportunity to work alongside such a talented and remarkable actress. “I was so happy to be in the same film with her,” she noted.
Watson emphasized that, despite her fame, Maggie Smith was always gracious and kind to everyone around her, especially the younger, less experienced actors.
According to Watson Smith’s warm and supportive nature stood out, making her not only a legend on screen but also an incredible presence behind the scenes.
“When I was younger I had no idea of Maggie’s legend – the woman I was fortunate enough to share space with. It is only as I’ve become an adult that l’ve come to appreciate that I shared the screen with a true definition of greatness,” Watson wrote. “She was real, honest, funny and self-honouring. Maggie, there were a lot of male professors and by God you held your own. Thank you for all of your kindness. I’ll miss you.”
