I am so sad about this.

Loved her in the Harry Potter movies, Downton Abbey and anything else I have seen her in.

Same - I’m very sad about this too.
She was a classy lady.
Rest in peace Professor McGonagall and the great Dowager Countess of Grantham.

She stole every scene in Downton Abbey! Adored her.

Very sad to hear this.

I just saw this and was sad to hear of her passing. The first time I ever saw her act was in the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. My parents took my brothers and me to the drive-in having no idea what the movie was about. We left halfway through but I was awed by her performance and have loved watching her performances through the years. May she RIP.

Ever seen Tea with the Dames / Nothing like a Dame?

Loved it.

Very sad. One of the ones you think will stay forever.

I loved her as Professor Mcgonagall, but she had my heart ever since she played Wendy in Hook.

May she proudly soar the skies above Neverland with Robin Williams.

She is a part of so many films and TV Shows that I love: Downton Abbey, Harry Potter, Hook, The Secret Garden, and so much more... Today is a very sad day.

“Travels with My Aunt” that she made with Lou Gosset, jr., replacing Katherine Hepburn (who made “The Madwoman of Chaillot” instead) . Mr. Gosset, to the end of his days, recalled the film as a time he worked with true professionals.

“A Room with a View”, a film where most everyone who was somebody in Brit theatre was seen; “California Suite”, N. Simon’s companion piece to “Plaza Suite” where she played an actress hoping against hope to win an Oscar, interacting with her gay husband played by Michael Caine.
“Murder by Death”- let the giggles begin!

Her later career and intro to a younger audience as a wizard and grande dame were just well earned scenery eating.

Just seeing her enter a scene had me sitting at the edge of my seat in anticipation. She was amazing and aren’t we lucky so much of her career is preserved on film? Thank you, thank you

Me too. I loved to watch her acting. She was so special. She will be missed.

One of my favorites!

Very sad about this. I remember in the next to the last Downton Abbey, she had a scene saying goodbye, with all of us thinking that would be her last movie. Then she lived to be in the next one!

You will be so missed, Dame Maggie. Thank you for the lifetime of characters you have blessed us with.

So sad. Keep the Marauders in line in heaven Professor.

Have never heard of her, but may she Rest In Peace.

Dan, really? She's a big time actress best known for her roles in Harry Potter as Professor McGonagall and Downton Abbey as the great Dowager Countess of Grantham. Maybe these images of her will help...



This is indeed a very sad day. Thank you for sharing your gift, Rest in Peace.

I loved her in the two Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movies too. She was great in everything she did.

That is so very sad, such an amazing artist, she will be missed.
