I just happened to be watching the Gryffindor Tower deleted scene from The Prisoner of Azkaban and noticed that Sir Cadogan seemed to be getting a wee bit frisky with a certain portrait. Now I’ve never given it much thought during previous viewings but I hadn’t been on the Harry Potter Studio Tour then. Now according the the tour, the portrait of the young woman in red robes and black hair is a young McGonagall. I feel fairly sure the portrait in the deleted scene is the same one as in the still pictures I took from the tour with the difference being the missing window and cat. I mean it looks pretty damn similar, right?

Minerva McGonagall, what were you doing with that knight? and why is non portrait Minvera not scolding something about “unhand me”, lol.

Professor Minerva McGonagall/Maggie Smith related images from the Harry Potter Studio Tour.
The full size versions and indeed the rest of the pictures I took from the tour (all 273 of them) can be found here (I hope that link works). I do apologise for my somewhat iffy photography skills - I’ve never been good with a camera.
