“Harry Potter” actress Miriam Margolyes is worried about adult fans of the beloved franchise.
“They should be over that by now,” Margolyes said in a recent interview with 1News New Zealand. “You know, I mean, it was 25 years ago and it’s for kids. Yo “I think it’s for kids.”
Margolyes played Professor Pomona Sprout, who taught herbology at Hogwarts and was headmistress of Hufflepuff House. She appeared in 2002’s “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” and 2011’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.”
“They get caught up in it,” Margolyes said. “I do cameos and people say, ‘Oh, we’re having a ‘Harry Potter’-themed wedding,’ and I’m like, ‘God, what’s their first night of fun going to be?’ I can’t even think about that. No.”
Although she acknowledged that the fantastic film series is “wonderful” and that she is “very grateful,” Margolyes reiterated that “it’s over.”
In June of last year, Margolyes shared a similar sentiment with Vogue UK, saying that the “Harry Potter” franchise “doesn’t mean as much to me as it does” to fans.
“For me, ‘Harry Potter’ wasn’t important,” he said. “I was very happy to get the part and I enjoyed being in it and meeting all the people, but it’s not Charles Dickens.”
While Margolyes believes “Harry Potter” is over, Warner Bros. Discovery evidently thinks otherwise, as the company aims to launch a “Harry Potter” TV series about Max in 2026. The series, which will feature an entirely new cast , is expected to span seven seasons, adapting each novel from JK Rowling’s best-selling book series.
“We spent a lot of time with JK and his team,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said in February. “Both parties are delighted to reignite this franchise. Our conversations were great and we couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead. “We can’t wait to share a decade of new stories with fans around the world on Max.”
