Her character on the show is an absolute snarky delight, and nobody delivers a one-line zinger better!

I would say that the spotlight of Downton Abbey pales in comparison to that of the Harry Potter franchise. As wildly popular as Downton is I don’t think it will endure through generations the way I expect Harry Potter will.
