Daniel Radcliffe, who worked with Smith for over a decade, fondly recalled their first encounter during the filming of David Copperfield when he was just nine.

He remembered her as “incredibly kind,” despite being intimidated at first by her legendary status. Radcliffe praised her intellect, wit, and humour, saying he felt “amazingly lucky” to have worked with her, describing her as a true “legend” in the industry.

Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger, shared her reflections on Instagram, expressing how she had only realised later in life the greatness of the woman she worked alongside.

Watson remembered Smith as “real, honest, funny, and self-honouring,” noting how Smith stood out among male professors in the Harry Potter universe.

Bonnie Wright, who portrayed Ginny Weasley, paid tribute to Smith on Instagram, calling her the “dearly loved and revered head of Gryffindor house” and expressing that she would be greatly missed by the Harry Potter community.
