Some sad news for us today as well, Dame Maggie Smith, who plays Professor Mcgonagall in the Harry Potter films, is battling breast cancer.  The Daily Mail says:

Dame Maggie is said to have insisted on going ahead with filming the latest installment of the hit [Potter] series last month even though she was undergoing radiation therapy at the time.

“She is dealing with it in her typically brave and understated way,” one of her friends told the Mandrake column. “She has had a tumour removed and subsequently completed a course of chemotherapy. This was precautionary and the prognosis looks good. The last thing she wants to do is to make a fuss about it.

Good Luck Maggie! You will make it through.
Thanks ComingSoon
