Lewis honored the late "Harry Potter" star in an emotional tribute he wrote for The Sunday Times, in which he reflected on the life of his late wife, which he tagged "brilliant."

He never got the chance to tell her how much she shaped him as a person both on and off the screen.

The 50-year-old remarked that the weekend had two things in store; grieving McCrory's death and celebrating her remarkable life as an actress and person.

In his kind words reserved for his late wife, Lewis explained that his late wife was a more lovable person than she was as an actress, stating that she had a large heart colored by generosity.

According to Lewis, another charming part of Mccrory is that she knew how to enjoy life and get the best out of it. Lewis noted that his late sweetheart had an inspiring way of making every moment count.

The duo tied the knot in 2007 after meeting on the production of "Five Gold Rings" at London's Almeida Theatre in 2003. They share two children — daughter Manon, 14, and son Gulliver, 13.

Lewis noted that the 52-year-old left their kids too early but well prepared for life. He said that their children inherited their mother's fearlessness, wit, curiosity, talent, and beauty.

Since the news of her death went viral, Mccrory has been honored by costars and friends, including Daniel Radcliffe, Helen Mirren, Jason Issacs, J.K. Rowling, Tom Felton, and Cillian Murphy.

"Harry Potter" lead actor Daniel Radcliffe remarked that McCrory was one of the best he worked with on "Harry Potter;" he noted that she was kind, generous, and fun to be with. May her soul rest in peace!
