That does sound like something Mcgonagall would say

(Prime of Miss Jean Brodie). Maggie Smith looked and sounded so much like my mother that I was sure she was born in Scotland (Glasgow in my mother’s case). Only reinforced when I saw her as in Harry Potter. And all this time she was a girl from Ilford!

The first role I ever saw Maggie Smith in - was "The Prime of Miss Jean Brody" in 1969 - when I was 20 yrs old. She was stunningly brilliant. It was the first British movie I'd seen that wasn't a comedy ("Carry On" movies) - and the difference from a typical Hollywood movie was jarring. She was not cookie-cutter Barbie Doll. She looked just like the rest of we ordinary folks - and so we were not spectators, watching a performance. We identified with her and the other actors. It/She was incredible !!

I loved reading your comment, for I had the same experience at approximately the same age. I loved the Carry On movies as I learned a different, broader form of humor. But the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie was truly an enlightening experience. Although the movie went on to win Miss Smith a considerable amount of awards, critics never got the thrust of this movie. As sweet and as beautiful as Jean was, she was a tremendously seductive yet dangerous person. She placed her students in harms way via notions of idealism romanticism rather than teaching established facts. She fancied herself as knowing better than most so she had to enlighten her students to her notion of reality. I can still hear Brodie crying out "assassin" to Sandy at the end. Someone had to put a stop to Brodie. If only there were more Sandy's in today's world.

I have loved her ever she said; "Come give us a Squinch." ❤

She has played so many lovely characters a nun granny Wendy McGonagall and many more

Perfection in that role. A consummate British actress, with lifelong performances that are so loved. Harry was the icing on the cake.
