‘Harry Potter’ actress responds to Miriam Margolyes’ criticism of adult fans: “I didn’t like what she said”

A few weeks ago, the actress Miriam Margolyeswho plays Professor Sprout in the film saga ‘Harry Potter‘, generated a controversy when criticizing adults who are still obsessed with films.

At the time, she told 1News that fans should have gotten over the franchise by now. “You know, it was 25 years ago and it’s for kids. I think it’s for children. But they get stuck in it.”.

After that, the actress suffered a series of online attacks, being labeled a frustrated and unhappy person for worrying about what the public likes or doesn’t like.

And the actress Jessie Cavewho played Lavender Brown in ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince‘, came out in defense of the public.

During her visit to Dream It Con, she was asked about the subject, to which she responded (via deadline):

“It is a shame that this was said. You know how she is – a rather funny person. I think she didn’t mean for it to be interpreted that way, at least I hope not… Because I really didn’t like what she said.”

On the other hand, Margolyes reinforced his thoughts in another interview with ABC NewsBreakfast.

When one of the presenters made a joke by wearing a Hufflepuff scarf, one of the houses in the franchise, she said:

“I’m not an unhappy person. ‘Harry Potter‘ is a fantastic saga, but if you’re already a family man, it’s time to move on. It’s time to grow up.”

When the presenters started laughing at the whole situation, she reinforced:

“I’m proud to have done this, but you’ve grown… Read [Charles] Dickens.”

In the first interview, Margolyes also recognized the importance of the series, but believes it is time to move on.

“I do cameos and people say, ‘I’m having a Harry Potter-themed wedding,’ and I think, oh my God, what’s their first night going to be like? I can’t even think about it. Harry Potter is wonderful, I’m very grateful for that. But it’s over. That’s what I think.”

Do you agree with her?
