She talks about old age and death as familiarly as she does about her friends or her children. She has never got over the loss of Bev, she says, and never will. “I still miss him so much it’s ridiculous. People say it gets better but it doesn’t. It just gets different, that’s all.” The other night she dreamt about him. “Even in my dream I kept saying to him, ‘You are dead. You can’t be here.’” And just a few weeks ago she found herself filming in Oxford. “That weird place that changes every three years and yet remains always the same.” She went back to her old childhood haunts and to the steps of the Ashmolean where she met him all those years ago. For a moment I thought she was going to cry, and then she burst out laughing. “You know what’s awful? What’s awful is that it is all all right.”

I constantly refer to Daniel kind of being the inspiration. He really was, man - ‘cause he’s there every day. 16 hours a day. And when he’s told that he can go home, he hangs around for morale and makes sure everyone’s in good spirits. Yeah, I mean, one day he was Maggie Smith’s P.A., I think just for the fun of being on the set. He’s such an inspiration, especially for all the kids that still call us. I had an eighth of his workload and yet, I was still finding myself getting stressed out. He was a constant reminder to be grateful.
So he’s the hero on the set, as well?
Yeah! He really was! It’s very fitting. Daniel is, basically, Harry. He is the hero, for sure. (x)

During the years of 2007-2011, Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonnagall) continued to film the final Harry Potter movies, all while battling breast cancer. During the filming of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Smith had shingles and was forced to wear a wig in order to continue filming. On the subject, Smith said, “If there’s work to do I’ll do it. I’ve still got to stagger through the last Harry Potter. The cancer was hideous. It takes the wind out of your sails and I don’t know what the future holds, if anything. You feel so ghastly, you wouldn’t mind dying a lot of the time. The last couple of years have been a write-off, though I’m beginning to feel like a person now. My energy is coming back. Shit happens. I ought to pull myself together a bit.” If anything, she’s a truly incredible and inspiring woman, and should be admired greatly.
