"Why is it when something happens, it is always you three?" "Believe me Professor, I've been asking myself the same question for six years." The Golden Trio summed up in two sentences.

Voldemort: Time to die, Minerva McGonagall: *glares at him* Voldemort: I am so sorry, Professor McGonagall: 50 points from slytherin!

"IS THAT A STUDENT?!?!" "Technically it's a ferret." He ain't lying

They couldn’t have gone for a better McGonagall than Maggie Smith

Mcgonagall: “Did you scream at Umbridge?” Harry: “Yes professor.” Mcgonagall: “And you called her a liar.?” Harry: “Yes professor.” Mcgonagall: “Have a biscuit Potter.”

“WE DO *NOT* USE TRANSFIGURATION AS A PUNISHMENT!!!” “Perhaps I should transfigure you or Potter into a pocket watch so at least one of you will be on time.”

I'm currently re-reading book 5 and I literally laugh out loud at the sassy interactions between McGonagall and Umbridge. I forgot how savage McGonagall actually is.

-“Sounds that you are questioning my authority in my own classroom, Minerva” -“Not at all, dOlOrEs” *savage*

I have the highest respect for Dame Maggie Smith. She was battling cancer during the filming of Deathly Hallows, but the fact that you couldn't even tell, shows how badass she is. She owned the role of McGonagall.

The real question is: when _wasn't_ she a boss ass witch

“I’ve always wanted to use that spell” Literally my favourite part of the movie

McGonagall was strict, yet fair and warm-hearted. The best kind of teacher you can have.

"I've always wanted to use that spell" *giggles like a 3 year old*

Of all the deaths in Harry Potter, I am forever grateful that Professor McGonagall is not one of them

I love the look on Severus' face when Minerva steps out in front of Harry. He instantly knew he was in trouble. It also had hints of showing he likely didn't want to fight her not only because of her skills as a witch but also due to their years as friends and colleagues. Alan Rickman truly was an amazing actor when he can convey all that in a two second look.

Minerva McGonagall... By far the most underrated character of the entire Harry Potter series. She tried to stop Harry from being put with the Durseleys, and continuously watched out for Harry and all his friends for the rest of their schooling and sometimes beyond. She punished fairly and taught well, and she was one of the few to stand up against Umbridge. Like, I honestly don't know why she isn't consistently praised and adored like Snape or Dumbledore are. 🤷🏼‍♀️

“They are supposed to be out of bed you blithering idiot!” Omg I can’t 😂

“Potter? Take Weasley with you. He looks far too happy over there.”

It’s a crime Maggie Smith as McGonagall was not in more scenes. She’s perfect for the role!

“Potter has as much chance of becoming an auror as dumbledore coming back to the school!!!!” “A very good chance then.”

*"His name is Voldemort. You mine as well use it, he's going to try to kill you etheir way."* - *the badass witch in Hogwarts*

Dolores: takes a step up- "Minerva" McGonagall: takes a step up- "Dolores"

Here's one book exclusive quip that I love. Minerva: “Did you scream at Umbridge?” Harry: “Yes, professor.” Minerva: “And you called her a liar?” Harry: “Yes, professor.” Minerva: “... Have a biscuit Potter.”

Minerva: “now, place your right hand on my waist” Ron: “Whe-“

Snaps: **pulls out wands** Students: **gasps** damnnn Snape’s mad McGonagall: **pushes Harry out of the way and pulls out wand** Students: **moves out the way** EVERYONE GET OUT THE WAY MCGONGALL’S MAD

Despite the fact that Minerva thought Trelawny was absurd as a teacher, it’s so noble of her to comfort and help her in a time of need

Her “BOOM” when talking about blowing up the bridge is seriously under appreciated 😂

"Take Weasley with you, he looks far too happy." Second best line after animating the statues- still gives me goosebumps!

Umbridge: hem hem Umbridge: hem hem Umbridge: hem hem. McGonagall: would you like a cough drop, Dolores?

* Snape points wand at Harry * no one moves * McGonagall steps in front of Harry * everyone moves towards the wall *

McGonagall and Flitwick were probably the only teachers at Hogwarts actually capable of the fundamentals of teaching. And McGonagall for me is one of the most badass characters in all of the series.

"Hogwarts is the most safest place in the wizard world" Meanwhile, Hogwarts is the place all the stuff happens at 😅😐

**Snape pulls out his wand** "Oh crap..." **McGonagall pulls out her wand** **EVERYONE PARTS LIKE THE FUCKING RED SEA**

"Believe me, professor, I've been asking myself the same question for six years" LOL RON- I CAN'T-

“And his name is VOLDEMORT! He’s going to try and kill you anyway Filius, you may as well use it!” That is by far my favorite McGonagall line from the films

The most underrated character in this entire series... book 5 was great for her, but book 7 had my favorite scenes... her being the one to scream out when Voldemort declared Harry dead, and the fact that she took great pride having Harry in her house, not because of his fame, but because she genuinely cared about him, in sort of that stern grandmother way. Forever salute you Minerva.

and given the fact that Maggie Smith was dealing with cancer and shingles during the times from Half blood prince to Deathly Hallows part 2 makes her even more epic. Maggie Smith has my complete respect.

"Technically it's a ferret". Among the best lines of the film series.

I really love McGonagall for that scene when Umbrige want to chase Trelawney away. Minerwa didn't even like Sybill, but she acted so kind and warm for her. That's lovely.

You can just see Snape regret all his life decisions when McGonagall steps in front of Harry and points her wand at him.

i feel like even if voldemort wanted to kill her, she would just glare at him & he would apologize and walk away lmao

Let's be real here, McGonagall is *always* boss.

I swear, McGonagall is just that one teacher you don’t want to cross. She’s respectable, and shows she deserves it.

6:50 "Hogwarts is threatened. man the boundaries protect us, do your duty to our school" I have a feeling it was meant to be more serious and strict in the script, but her just being so happy about the line I love

McGonagall: Five points will be taken from Gryffindor *Realizes shes the Gryffindor guardian* McGonagall: *_fIVe pOINtS wILl bE AWaRdED tO eACH oF yOU_*

I always wanted to use that spell!!! -professor McGonagall

I love how she totally breaks her character in "I've always wanted to use that spell"

When she shoots all those spells at snape and he runs and she yells "COWARD!!" After him is so damn badass 😂

"You can't cancel quidditch" "Silence"

Neville: Blow it up! Boom! McGonagall: BOOM! Neville: Wicked! But how are we gonna do that? McGonagal: Why don't you ask Mr Finnagan as I recall he has a particular proclivity with pyrotechnics I'm dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Three times that McGonagall became headmistress 2nd year after Dumbledore went away: a student gets taken away 6th year for a day after Dumbledore's death : performs her best and longest friend's funeral 7th year after flying off snape : leads the school to the greatest war in history

I really dig the fact that all Harry potter fans can unite on the love we have for both maggie and professor McGonagall.

Minerva: Is that a student?! Mad-Eye: Well Technically it is a ferret.

Filch: “Students out of bed! Students in the corridor!” McGonagall: “They’re supposed to be out of bed, you blithering idiot!” Classic insult. Professor McGonagall is a badass... long live Maggie Smith. 🖤🌹

0:23 - explaining what houses are (Sorcerers Stone) 0:54 - yelling at umbringe (order of the Phoenix) 1:18 - Turing animals into goblets (chamber of secrets) 1:34 - troll in bathroom defeated (Sorcerers Stone) 2:06 moody turned Draco in a ferret (goblet of fire) 3:00 umbridge trying to fire mrs trewlarney (I know I spelt her name wrong also, order of the Phoenix 3:25 “why is it when something bad happpens you 3 are always there?

(Dealthy hallows part 2)

I absolutely love how when Snape pulls out his wands the students are worrried, but when Mcgonagall pulls out her wand they panic and rush out the way.

"professor Moody, what are you doing!?" "teaching" killed me

Professor McGonagall is like the mom of Hogwarts.

Everyone: Voldemort KZfaq subtitles: folder Mart 😂😂😂

My favourite scene with Mcgonagall is when she says “I’ve always wanted to use that spell” she says it like she’s young again, and she gets so excited it quite amusing, I think her confidence is tested in deathly hallows 2, given she’s the only strong standing teacher left 🙌🏻

awww can we appreciate how cute McGonagall is: "I've always wanted to use that spell!" but honestly she is a Boss Witch ^.^

Minerva: 5 Points will be awarded to Gryffindor for saving the school from a troll. Snape: 50 Points to Slytherin for existing.

"I've been asking myself the same question for six years" Poor Ron

The way Professor Mcgongall said”BOOM” at the end had me!🤣

Snape's look at McGonagall as she stands to face him... You can read 'I don't want to fight you'.

*Snape pulls out wand* audible gasps *Professor McGonagall pulls out wand* RUN, RUN FOR YOU DAMN LIVES!

I love the Minerva's only interaction with Mr. Dursley is giving him a stern glance.

i always loved her the most. she really did seem like she cared most about the students and the general nature of attending Hogwarts. Fun, learning, and adventure.

It amazes me that this woman was going through cancer treatments later on in the series and she still managed to act her ASS off. She is an amazing talent and I'm so glad she was the one to play such an important character.

She's so badass. So badass she was an adult in Fantastic Beasts 2 which was set in 1927, despite her being born in 1935.

The Battle between McGonagall and Snape always actually makes me emotional and sends shivers down my spine. McGonagall staring down Snape, someone she thought she could trust, and sending powerful spells his way in an attempt to kill him. And Snape, someone she actually can trust, defending himself, taking out the carrows in the process

“… For sheer dumb luck.” Gets me every time 😂

Professor McGonagall: “Any rule breaking, you will lose points.” Potter, Granger, and Weasley in second year: breaks half of the rules*

You forgot "Have a biscuit, Potter."

“babbling bumbling band of baboons'' 'particular proclivity for pyrotechnics'

"Professor what are you doing?!" "TEACHING" "Is that a- is that a student?!" "Technically it's a ferret" Lol

5:57 "To blow it up? Boom?" *_BOOM_*

"'Hem, hem,' said Professor Umbridge. 'Yes?' said Professor McGonagall, turning round, her eyebrows so close together they seemed to form one long, severe line. 'I was just wondering, Professor, whether you received my note telling you of the date and time of your inspec - ' 'Obviously I received it, or I would have asked you what you are doing in my classroom,' said Professor McGonagall, turning her back firmly on Professor Umbridge. Many of the students exchanged looks of glee. 'As I was saying: today, we shall be practicing the altogether more difficult Vanishment of mice. Now, the Vanishing Spell - ' 'Hem, hem.' 'I wonder,' said Professor McGonagall in cold fury, turning on Professor Umbridge, 'how you expect to gain an idea of my usual teaching methods if you continue to interrupt me? You see, I do not generally permit people to talk when I am talking.' Professor Umbridge looked as though she had just been slapped in the face. She did not speak, but straightened the parchment on her clipboard and began scribbling furiously." - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The thing about McGonagall is that even though she was strict, she still deeply cared about her students. She just wanted to make sure they follow the rules. Of course, a lot of rules keep us safe, so those rules would be even more important in a school of magic. Even though she is a stickler for the rules, she doesn't go with political corruption, and is against harming students.

If you look closely when Snape was fighting McGonagall, while he was deflecting her spells he directed them at the death eaters behind him, since he was actually on Hogwarts' side all along.

Prof.mcgonagoll= what are you doing? Mad Eye: teaching SAVAGE

The way she speaks in alliteration is probably my favourite part of her character idk why. "A particular proclivity for pyrotechnics". Everything she says just flows beautifully.

Dame Maggie Smith will forever be remembered as the most wonderful and remarkable actress. Her talent knows no bounds, showcasing an incredible range that is truly amazing. Her portrayal of Professor Minerva McGonagall left an indelible mark on an entire generation, creating a beloved character that will always be cherished in our memories.

I had tears of pride in my eyes when I read Deathly Hallows and she took on Voldemort with Kingsley and Horace, knowing she’d probably die. Bravest witch of her time.

Death: It's time for you to go, Minerva. Minerva: *glares at him* Death: Uh, never mind, enjoy your 150th birthday Shamelessly stolen from a post I saw once

McGonagall is the definition of savage

The moment where she giggles like a little girl saying that she always wanted to use that spell, has to be one of my favourite scenes from the entire series, even the stone soldiers jumping down and marching, and her little speach to the soldiers as they march on... goosebumps always appear when I see that scene.

That last scene was just epic! It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.

Professed: Why is it that when something happens, it's always you three? Ron:We've been asking ourselfs the same question for six years 😂😂😂

McGonagall is older than Dolores and calls her medieval. See, boomers can learn too

They should have included that "have a biscuit , Potter !" Scene in movies .

snape: Stands to fight with wand out children: Well shit. minerva: Grabs wand and gets ready for a fight children: FUCK. MOVE OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY. BEAST IS OUT. HIDE BITCHES HIDE!!!

I love how Umbridge and McGonagall did the whole “climbing the stairs to be taller than the other” thing. That was great directing.

My favorite scene is when Uxbridge was sitting in on Transfiguration and grading McGonagall. "I wonder how you expcet to gain an idea of my usual teaching methods if you continue to interrupt me? You see, I do not generally permit people to talk when I am talking." Savage. I wish that scene was in the movie so bad

Voldemort might not have feared McGonagall like Dumbledore but believe me, he knew she wasn't somebody he was just going to defeat. She is still the most powerful after Dumbledore and Voldemort.

The proper response: "Why is it always you three" Ron and Hermione point at Harry.

*When snape gets out his wand* Students: he ain't going to do shi-- *Mcgonogall gets out her wand* Students: RUN! SHE'S ANGRY, SAVE YOURSELVES!

“Forgive me, but it sounds like you’re questioning my authority in my own class room…MINERVA.” “Not at all, DOLORES. Merely your medieval methods!” I love their jabs at each other 🤣

the mumble-whisper "he might have mentioned it" always makes me laugh hard
