Trivia: Which “Harry Potter” star is part of the Order of the British Empire?
Alan Rickman
Emma Watson
Daniel Radcliffe
Maggie Smith
The correct answer is Maggie Smith
So why is this answer correct? : Dame Margaret Natalie Smith has been in the industry since the 1950s, but is probably best known for her roles as Professor McGonagall in the “Harry Potter” films and, more recently, as Violet Crawley in the “Downton Abbey” series and movies. In 1990, Smith was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) by the queen. In 2014, she was also named a Companion of Honour (CH), which recognizes service of national importance.
