“Harry Potter” star Miriam Margolyes is worried about adult fans of the cherished franchise.
“They ought to be over that by now,” Margolyes stated in a current interview with New Zealand’s 1News. “You understand, I suggest, it was 25 years earlier, and it’s for kids.Ibelieve it’s for kids.”
Margolyes played Professor Pomona Sprout, who taught herbology at Hogwarts and was head of the 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 stuck in it,” Margolyes stated. “I do Cameos, and individuals state, ‘Oh, we’re having a “Harry Potter”-themed wedding event,’ and I believe, ‘Gosh, what’s their opening night of enjoyable going to be?’ I can’t even think of it. No.”
She acknowledged that the dream movie series is “fantastic” and that she’s “extremely grateful to it,” Margolyes restated that “it’s over.”

While Margolyes believes “Harry Potter” is over, Warner Bros. Discovery obviously believes otherwise, as the business is intending to launch a “Harry Potter” television series on Max in 2026. The series– which will include a brand new cast– is anticipated to cover 7 seasons, adjusting each book in J.K. Rowling’s very popular book series.

Our discussions were excellent, and we could not be more ecstatic about what’s ahead. We can’t wait to share a years of brand-new stories with fans all over the world on Max.”
