Harry Potter Actor Says Adult Fans Of The Series Need To “Grow Up”
Miriam Margolyes, who played Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, has a message for adult fans of the Harry Potter series–grow up. Speaking to Australia’s ABC News, Margolyes doubled down on her previous comments about Harry Potter, saying people should just move on to something else.
“I’m not unhappy about it. I just think it’s for children. And if your balls have dropped, then it’s time to forget about it,” she said. “You know, go on to other things. No. Seriously. It’s a great series. It’s a wonderful set of films. I’m proud I was in it. But it was 25 years ago! You know, grow up!”
Margolyes was asked about this in response to her previous comments about the series that went viral when she said she worries for adult Harry Potter fans because “they should be over that by now.”
