Rupert Grint pays tribute to Maggie Smith with sweet ‘Yule Ball’ callback


Grint expressed he’s ‘heartbroken’ over Maggie Smith’s death, calling her a ‘special’ person 

Rupert Grint paid a heartfelt tribute to his late Harry Potter co-star, Dame Maggie Smith, who passed away over the weekend at age 89.

The 36-year-old actor shared his emotions in a touching Instagram post on Saturday, a day after news of the legendary actress’s death broke on Friday, September 28.

“Heartbroken to hear about Maggie,” Grint wrote. “She was so special, always hilarious and always kind. I feel incredibly lucky to have shared a set with her and particularly lucky to have shared a dance.”

Grint and Smith worked together across all eight Harry Potter films, where her character, Professor Minerva McGonagall, frequently clashed with his character, Ron Weasley.

One of their most iconic moments on screen came during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, when McGonagall teaches Ron and his classmates how to dance for the Yule Ball, leading to a memorable — and awkward — moment for the young wizard.

In addition to his tribute, Grint included a still from this iconic scene.

I’ll miss you, Maggie. Sending all my love to her family. Rupert x,” the tribute concluded.
