“‘Oh my gosh, what’s their first night of fun going to be?’ I can’t even think about it.”
Miriam Margolyes says she's “worried about Harry Potter fans” and admits she doesn't really understand the appeal of the series.
To many, Margolyes is a legend of British stage and screen, best known for her role as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films.
But in an interview with New Zealand's 1News, she spoke of her indifference to the series.
She told the channel: “I'm worried about Harry Potter fans. They should be over it by now.
“You know, I mean, it was 25 years ago, and it was for kids. I think it was for kids. But they got stuck in it.”
The actor revealed that she often gets guest requests from fans attending Harry Potter-themed weddings, which she can't understand.
She said: “I guest-starred and people said 'Oh, I'm going to have a Harry Potter themed wedding' and I thought 'Oh my gosh, what is their first fun night going to be?'” I couldn't even think about it. think. “
Margolyes did say that she thought the Wizarding World stories were “great” and that she was “grateful” for the series, but that it was “over.”
This isn't the first time the 82-year-old has spoken out about her indifference towards Harry Potter. Back in 2020, she told a fan in a cameo: “I'm not[a Harry Potter fan]. I'm not opposed to it, I'm just not interested.
“I've never seen the movie. I've never seen the books, I've never read them. I just pocketed the money when it came, and I'm very grateful for that.”
Last year, she told British Vogue that Harry Potter “doesn't matter”, adding: “I was delighted to get the role and I loved being a part of it and meeting everyone, but it's not Charles Dickens. “
