Dame Maggie Smith is absolutely a charming woman who doesn't simply portray characters in films, or on television, instead she lives whatever role she is currently engaged in. Some of my personal favorites are her roles as Mother Superior in the Sister Act films, where she outshined everyone else. Her work in Gosford Park, The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, The First Wives Club, My House in Umbria, and countless others. She has proven not only is she a serious actress, who can portray Dramas while keeping the audience on the edge of their seats, but can hold her own in any genre she chooses. She stole hearts with her recent work in Ladies In Lavender, and cast her own spell over millions while portraying Professor Minerva McGonagall in the movie adaptations of J.K. Rowling's Best-selling series Harry Potter. It’s not often when such extraordinary things can said about just one Actress, but Maggie Smith is exception as she’s yet to deliver anything less than a star stunning performance.

I only know Maggie Smith from the fantastic Harry Potter series but I know that she has done alot of other great work. In Harry Potter, she plays a sort of boring character but the way she acts is just brilliant. I wish we saw more of her in the recent movies.

Its a pity that a lot of people know her for the most part as a character on the dribble-ish harry potter films, one of the earliest films I've seen her in was the honey pot, she made a great preformance in that movie. In fact she has done so in all her movies. I hope she continues to play characters with such a high level of talent.
