The loss of Dame Maggie Smith is felt by many, including Harry Potter fans. She has won two Oscars in her lifetime and is especially known for her role in the Harry Potter movies.
Her two sons, Toby Stevens and Chris Larkin announced the news she had passed away at the age of 89. They spoke about her appreciating her privacy, and were asking for the same while they got through such a devastating loss.
After the announcement of her death, fans of Harry Potter realized she died on the same day, although one year later as Sir Michael Gambon.
Gambon is known for playing the part of Professor Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter franchise. They shared many scenes together in the movies and both will be sorely missed.
