I love Maggie! I hope she is doing well and that she will successfully finish the series!

oh I hope she is alright! best of luck to a speedy recovery.

no! that is horrible! she seems like such a great lady. I hope she gets better soon.

get well soon maggie! love u !!

Oh man! darn Maggie...my uncle passed away from cancer...it's not pretty, but at least her prognosis looks good. Doubt she reads to, but best wishes to her and her family...I can't wait to see her in the seventh movie ---"Charge!" She does McG justice.

noo! maggie is so wonderful, that's terrible! but it will most likely get better..right? breast cancer is very treatable; I've had family members get it 4 times, but everyone's still here! wish you a 'get well soon'!!

get better msggie...we love you

i am incredibly impressed with her bravery. this is a true act of heroism.

Oh My Gosh! That sucks! I am so sorry for her, and I wish that she gets better ASAP. This isn't just because I want her to act more, but she is a real person. Good Luck with getting better!

We will all be sending good thoughts and energy her way! What a great actress, not only for her work in the Harry Potter series, but for all of her work. She has always been one of my favorites.

She was not named a 'Dame' because she wilts under pressure. You go, Maggie! She is a magnificant actress in whatever role she has approached and this real life demon will suffer the same fate as the bogart in the cupboard. I totally understand her desire to remain private. I just hope she knows we appreciate her past, present and future courage. God bless her.

A TRUE Gryffindor...I know the whole fandom will be sending out their best wishes to her! I really hope she gets well soon!

That's so sad. :( It's good to hear that the prognosis is good, best wishes to Maggie!!

OMG NOOO! I HOPE SHE GETS BETTER SOON!!! I

At least her prognosis is good. That really frigtened me when I saw the headline. She is a great actress and I love her roles. Good Luck Maggie!

She'll be in my prayers.

Wow, that really freaked me out when I read the headline! Its so awsome that she is being so brave about it! Im so glad the prognosis looks good! I'll be thinking about her and hope that she gets/stays well!

I hope she gets better!

OMH??? WTF???? serious? hope shes okaii... if she wnats it done privately then wtf is all this about? -----ARI LEE

Wow.. she's amazing to film while having kemo... I love her! Good luck, Maggie! I love youuu!

Aw I love you, Maggie! I hope you get well soon! [she's not reading this i know]

She is a grryfndoor wooo! Awh :/ Keep Fighting Maggie stay strong!

She's a very determined person, God bless her and i wish her a speedy recovery. It wouldn't be the same with a different McGonagall for the final 2 Potters. Especially that she doesn't do much in DH. I know she'll be ok. EXCUSE ME GUYS, but what illness did Richard Harris (the original Dumbledore) have when he was filming the 2nd (and his last) Potter movie? I know it was a kind of cancer too, not breast cancer of course... can anyone please tell me? i'd appreciate that.

stay strong maggie. ill pray 4 u!

Glad to hear she is doing okay. Keep well Maggie! I love your strength and acting ability.

Good Luck Maggie! Hope she feels better.

Get better! We love you!

aww i love her. she's so talented.

Stay strong Maggie! We love you!

Wow! She's so brave! To go on taping, without even telling the public what she was going through!!! Maybe thats why her voice seemed kind of odd during that courtyard seen in OOTP with Trealawney! Hmmmm...... Get better soon Maggie!!!! You're my favorite!

Oh I hope she'll be okay. She's a wonderful actress. Her going on with filming just shows how strong she is.

awww, I feel so bad...thats horrible! I have a friend who has had cancer for the last five years (lung cancer) so I know how horrible it is! this is just so sad! Get well soon Maggie!

I'm shocked but very affected because two friends of mine are suffering almost the same thing and its an awful sickness really hard to fight. I hope she gets well soon GOD BLESS HER...

wow, she is such a strong person. The whole fandom will be thinking of her/ praying for her.

Wow... my uncle had lung cancer for two years before he died. so i know what she's going through. GET BETTER SOON!

Dame Maggie Smith is such a strong lady, and I know she will make it through this. Our hearts are with you.
