| | |  Maggie Smith to reprise McGonagall role in Deathly Hallows
In a discussion of her life's work and upcoming feature From Time to Time (co-starring Timothy Spall), actress Maggie Smith spoke about her tribulations going through breast cancer treatment last year whilst working on Half-Blood Prince. She also confirmed that she will reprise her role as Minerva McGonagall soon in Deathly Hallows. Quote:
She revealed that she made Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince — playing Professor Minerva McGonagall — during her cancer treatment. “I was hairless. I had no problem getting the wig on. I was like a boiled egg.”
Quote:
Dame Maggie is planning to “stagger through” filming the final Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows.
Photos of Dame Maggie (with a clean bill of health now), from her film can be seen in our galleries: 
 Quote:
A haunting ghost story spanning two worlds, two centuries apart. When 13 year old Tolly finds he can mysteriously travel between the two, he begins an adventure that unlocks family secrets laid buried for generations.
The film will be out later this year.  | |

I wonder how she will be able to duel and run around yelling things in DH, especially when everyone thinks Harry is dead. She seems a bit too old to do things like that now.
Anyways I can't wait to see her in the film.

She's such an amazing woman. There's no one who could play McGonagall other than her (at least not as convincingly.
