Helen McCrory's Harry Potter co-star Daniel Radcliffe took to his official website to pay tribute to the actress, who played the popular character of Narcissa Malfoy in the franchise.

"Really shocked and saddened by news of the death of Helen McCrory. One of my favourite actresses, she was different in every role. So beautiful, talented and versatile. She was one of the reason why Harry Potter was alive!! If she hadn't lied about Harry's death, we know what would have happened 😢 Rest in Peace #HelenMcCrory," reads Daniel Radcliffe's post.
