Film “Herbal Witch” Miriam Margolyes: Adults “should have gotten over it long ago”

Film “Herbal Witch” Miriam Margolyes
Adults should “be over it long ago”

It’s been almost 25 years since “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”, the film adaptation of the first novel in the Harry Potter book series, was released in cinemas in 2001. Meanwhile, the early youthful fans have grown up – but that doesn’t stop many of them from continuing to collect whatever merchandising comes onto the market. Miriam Margolyes (82), who played Hogwarts professor Pomona Sprout in the series, finds this quite bizarre.

“It’s been 25 years and for children”

In one In a recent interview with New Zealand’s 1News, she commented on the phenomenon, concluding: “You should be over it by now. You know, I mean, it’s been 25 years, and it’s for kids. I think it’s for Children.”

For this reason, she has little understanding for adults who turn their wedding into a “Harry Potter” theme party. When she hears about things like this, she thinks to herself, “My goodness, what will their first night of fun be like? I really can’t imagine that. No.”

“Harry Potter” was “not important” to Margolyes

The British-Australian actress already had last year in an interview with British Vogue made it clear that she cares much less about the “Harry Potter” series than the fans do. There she said: “For me ‘Harry Potter’ wasn’t important. I was very happy I got the part and I enjoyed being there and meeting all the people, but it’s not Charles Dickens.”
