„It Wasn’t What You’d Call Satisfying”. Harry Potter Actress, Who Played the Beloved Character, Confessed That Starring in the Series Didn’t Feel Like Like Acting for Her

As a gamer with a rich history of immersing myself in various virtual worlds, I must admit that Minerva McGonagall from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series is one of my most beloved characters. Her wisdom, dedication, and maternal care for her students have always resonated deeply with me, reminding me of the nurturing figures in my own gaming guilds.


In the beloved series Harry Potter, there are numerous memorable characters, both good and bad. One of the most adored by fans is Minerva McGonagall, who serves as the head of Gryffindor House and instructs Transmutation. This enchantress has consistently demonstrated deep care for her pupils, effectively taking on a maternal role while they reside at Hogwarts, providing them with nurturing care during their stay.

Although the world of Harry Potter and its characters hold a captivating allure for many viewers, this isn’t necessarily the case for Maggie Smith, who plays Minerva’s replacement. In an interview with the Evening Standard, Smith admitted that while she values the opportunity to be part of Harry Potter, it doesn’t elicit excessive excitement from her. Similarly, her role in Downton Abbey does not stir up extraordinary enthusiasm within her.

I appreciate the roles in both ‘Potter’ and ‘Downton’, yet they didn’t quite fulfill me as I didn’t truly connect with my performances in these projects.

Despite not sharing the same level of excitement as fans about the universe, her remarkable portrayal of Minerva left an indelible impression on viewers and earned their sympathy. The character of the Head of Gryffindor House, without a doubt, is one of the most dynamic and optimistic figures in the series.

Maggie Smith isn’t the only actor from the “Harry Potter” series who wasn’t completely satisfied with their performance. Similarly, Gary Oldman struggled somewhat with his portrayal of Sirius Black. In his own words, he felt he made a mistake in his approach to the character and could have given a more impressive performance if he had spent more time preparing for the role.
