Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe, who played the title character in the “Harry Potter” film series, shared a statement reflecting on how he first met Smith when he was a young actor.

“The first time I met Maggie Smith I was 9 years old and we were reading through scenes for David Copperfield, which was my first job,” he began. “I knew virtually nothing about her, except that my parents were impressed by the fact that I would be working with her. The other thing I knew about her was that she was a lady, so the first thing I asked her when we met was, “Would you like me to call you lady?” to which she laughed and said something like this: “Don’t be ridiculous!” I remember how nervous I was when I met her and how she immediately put me at ease.”

“She was incredibly kind to me on that shoot and then I was lucky enough to work with her on the Harry Potter films for another ten years,” Radcliffe continued. “She had a fierce intellect, a wonderfully sharp tongue, could intimidate and charm at the same time and, as anyone will tell you, was extremely funny. I will always consider myself incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work with her, and that too.” “Spend time with her on set. The word “legend” gets thrown around a lot, but if it applies to anyone in our industry, then it applies to them too. “Thanks, Maggie.”
