Multi-awarded actress Maggie Smith was halfway through her cancer treatment when she made Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, starring as Professor Minerva McGonagall. 

“I was hairless. I had no problem getting the wig on. I was like a boiled egg,” she said.

The chemotherapy was, she said, “something that makes you feel much worse than the cancer itself”. “You feel horribly sick. I was holding on to railings, thinking ‘I can’t do this’,” she said.

But she insisted she will “stagger through” the final Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows. Let’s just pause and ponder on how awesome this woman is, a true Gryffindor.

 can you imagine just being in a forever 21 store and turning the corner and then BAM miley cyrus

my knees would wobble and i would fall over and hit my head on a clothes rack and fall to the floor but somehow between the rack and the floor i’d tell her that i love her

and then i’d kiss her feet and ask her to never leave me

omg i’d pee my pants and be like “can we please be best friends i love you!” and “can you buy me some clothes?”

fuckyeahcory:

“I think every girl wants their boyfriend to chase them all the way to Paris after they have a fight [like his character in the new film Monte Carlo does]. And a lot of guys want to be that guy. I really hope that I get to be that kind of guy one day. I want to get married and have children and live happily ever after. That’s important to me—I’d love to have kids one day. Just not now or in the near future.”
