Tom Felton has just took to social media to honour the late Helen McCrory.
The pair played the mother-son duo in the “Harry Potter” movies – where Felton portrayed Draco Malfoy, while McCrory was Narcissa Malfoy. She had died yesterday, following a battle with cancer.
The 33-year-old actor wrote, “So sad to say farewell so suddenly – I never took the chance to tell her, but she helped shape me as a person so much – on & off screen. She was always relentlessly herself- razor sharp wit – silver tongued – kind & warm hearted – she suffered no fools yet had time for everyone – thank you for lighting the way forward & holding my hand when I needed it xx.”
Lead actor Daniel Radcliffe called the late “Peaky Blinders” star one of the “coolest” people he had ever met. “I truly couldn’t believe this news when I heard it. Helen was one of the most incredible actors I got to work with on the ‘Harry Potter’ films,” his statement read. “She was effortlessly commanding and captivating as an actor, as well as being kind, generous and incredibly good fun as a person.”
“Also, as it happens, she’s one of the absolute coolest people I’ve ever met, in that I can’t ever imagine her being flustered or nervous, she always seemed totally assured of who she was and what she was doing,” Radcliffe, 31, added. “She was a supreme talent and a wonderful person and will be very greatly missed.”
I’m devastated to learn of the death of Helen McCrory, an extraordinary actress and a wonderful woman who’s left us far too soon. My deepest condolences to her family, especially her husband and children. Simply heartbreaking news.
