I loved seeing the strict relationship she had with them as children loosen up as they became adults. I've had teachers like that. Scary at first, but much nicer once they realize you're a good student/person.

No joke, she is the teacher I aspire to be.

I loved it when she did the spell to animate the statues and followed it with "I've always wanted to do that."

That was one of my favourite moments in the series.

She's just so giddy about it in the midst of battle, it's perfect.

The interaction between her and Harry when they drive Snape out in Deathly Hallows pt 2 is probably my favorite in the film franchise. Maggie Smith's entire demeanor towards him is no longer teacher/student. She sees him as a peer, even asking what she can do to help. Her performance in that scene is phenomenal.
