Harry Potter star blasts Miriam Margolyes’ ‘terrible’ comments about fans
Harry Potter fans weren’t impressed when Miriam Margolyes said they should be ‘over it’ and now another star of the franchise has hit back in defence of adult Potterheads.
Jessie Cave, who played Lavender Brown in the films and was Ron’s first girlfriend in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, has slammed Miriam’s comments as ‘terrible.’
Miriam, who appeared as Professor Sprout in the films, suggested adults shouldn’t still be watching the Harry Potter collection as it’s ‘for children.’
At a Harry Potter fan convention in Paris at the weekend, when asked about Miriam’s sentiments, Jessie replied, ‘It’s such a shame that happened,’ before explaining to the audience how Miriam is naturally funny, and she hoped the comedian didn’t mean for her words to be taken too seriously.
