How very sad. She certainly played a major role in the success of Harry Potter.

Yes it was excellent @blissgirl 

Mind you, I've always thought Dame Maggie was a superb actress, whatever she appeared in.

Some of her lines in Downton Abbey were such iconic put downs. 😂

Has anyone watched "Tea with the Dames"?
