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'm glad she is better! She is a great woman and actress, I can't wait to see her in Deathly Hallows! :yes:

Frozen Cause 10-04-2009 08:39 PM

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.

I'm so happy that she is well again and that she is coming back as McGonagall!!!! I really couldn't picture anyone else playing her.

hpnaiv 10-04-2009 08:40 PM

I'm happy to hear that she's better now! :)
I love her as McGonagall!

MoviegoerKinz 10-04-2009 08:47 PM

Age is only a number, dont underestimate it like Voldemort lol. And I had no idea she had this going. Im glad she's better cuz there is nobody that can play a better McGonagall! Cant wait to see her part!

Thats good shes doing better and will return for the Hallows. I don't know what we'd do if she didn't...

Erindipity 10-04-2009 09:45 PM

I had no clue that she was battling cancer!! Bless her heart! Glad she is in remission or whatever the case is!! And YAY for McGonagall

Roselyn 10-04-2009 09:46 PM

LelanaJ 10-04-2009 09:59 PM

I'm so glad she's better, no one could replace her role. ^_^

It wouldn't be the same without her. :)

Sav!!XD 10-04-2009 10:20 PM

Wow, thats what you call dedication *gives her a big hug* Well done for fighting!

iwantorlando05 10-04-2009 10:47 PM

YES!!! I'm so excited she's coming back. McGonagall has some great moments during the battle, so it wouldn't be the same without her!! I'm so happy she's healthy again. That's one strong woman! :happy:

HBPalmosthere 10-04-2009 10:51 PM

Maggie smith is one of the best British actresses and her work is amazing glad she's fighting that horrible disease. Can't wait to see her as McGonagall again as it wouldn't be right not having her in harry potter

wormtail32 10-04-2009 10:56 PM

From the first time I saw her on Sorecers Stone, I knew she was a strong woman. :)

Patronus Charm 10-04-2009 10:57 PM

cancer is nasty business...i am very glad she is in remission.

Ginny GL 10-04-2009 11:15 PM

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