Dame Maggie Smith has been honoured in a heart-shattering way at Harry Potter theme park after fans found out about her death. It was announced that the legendary actress died at the age of 89 on Friday. Those who found out the news while at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter paused for a moment and held wands up to the sky to honour the actress.
A social media post shows a clip of super fans standing outside the replica of the iconic castle. The caption read: "Wands up..
. RIP Dame Maggie Smith. There’s no McGonagall without you.
Rest in peace. You were the greatest Professor Hogwarts ever had. Thank you for bringing to life so many of our favorite characters growing up.

RIP Dame Maggie Smith. There’s no McGonagall without you. Rest in peace.
You were the greatest Professor Hogwarts ever had. Thank you for bringing to life so many of our favorite characters growing up. From Mrs.
Medlock in The Secret Garden, Thetis in Clash of The Totans, Granny Wendy in Hook, Mother Superior in Sister Act, our Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey, & of course McGonagall. "It was exactly a year ago today that Michael Gambon, aka Professor Dumbledore, passed away as well. It’s v strange feeling so upset over someone you haven’t met IRL.
A Harry Potter movie marathon will now invoke so many more emotions...
especially the 'I’ve Always Wanted To Use That Spell!' Thank you @universalorlando for allowing those in the park tonight to stand together &.
