Angel Shaw is a Core Features Senior Writer with Screen Rant who knows far too much about the worlds of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.
The Harry Potter movies just wouldn't have been the same without Dame Maggie Smith , who played the perfect Professor McGonagall. As a whole, the adult cast of Warner Bros' Wizarding World films was spectacular, with actors like Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, and more holding down the fort until younger stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint could take the wheel.
Maggie Smith has famously said that Minerva McGonagall was not a challenging role for her, further reinforcing that this character simply aligned well with the actor herself. Some of Smith's most standout moments in the Harry Potter movies were those when comedy was at the forefront. Her stern exasperation as McGonagall giving dancing lessons in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was perfection, as was the rushed instructions she gave Radcliffe's Harry about opening the dance at the Yule Ball .
