Professor McGonagall was the best type of professor. While stern when she needed to be, she’d also look the other way if it meant going against the rules in the name of something important. McGonagall was as respected a teacher as there was at Hogwarts. She also was highly powerful — something beautifully illustrated during the final film. In a sense, McGonagall was the matriarch of Hogwarts. She quickly became a fan favorite. This largely stemmed from the personal interactions she had with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and those attempting to stop the dark lord from rising once again.
