Maggie Smith’s Death Inspires ‘Harry Potter’-Themed Tributes

Maggie Smith may be gone, but she’ll live on forever in the Wizarding World … ’cause “Harry Potter” fans have been tributing her ever since her death was announced yesterday.

The legendary actress — who played Professor McGonagall is seven of the eight films — inspired several “Harry Potter” related tributes with one of the largest taking place outside Hogwarts … the replica at Universal Orlando, that is.

Check out the clip … a group of fans congregated outside the castle — which houses a popular ride in the theme park — wands raised to the sky. It’s an homage to the sixth ‘HP’ movie after Professor Dumbledore dies to ward off the darkness … led by Maggie, of course.

High society also paid tribute to the late star … with the team behind the Broadway hit “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child handing out flyers to patrons featuring Maggie dressed as Professor McGonagall.

Even controversial author J.K. Rowling — who penned the hit series — got in on the tributes … sharing a photo of the late star and saying she always felt like Smith would go on living forever.

Smith’s sons — Toby Stephens and Chris Larkin — announced their mother’s passing in a statement … saying she passed away peacfully early Friday morning.
