Miriam Margolyes’ acting career includes a BAFTA-nominated role in Martin Scorsese’s “The Age of Innocence,” “Reds,” “Mulan,” “Call the Midwife…
” movies that have made her a recognizable face across the world. Not that Margolyes cares too much for the beloved franchise.for a new profile, Margolyes acknowledged that her two “Harry Potter” movies introduced her to an entire new generation of young people but said the franchise “doesn’t mean as much to me as it does to them.”
“For me, ‘Harry Potter’ wasn’t important,” Margolyes said. “I was very glad I got the part and I enjoyed being in it and meeting all the people, but it’s not Charles Dickens.” However, Margolyes is grateful for the continued love from fans. She played Professor Sprout in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” and “Harry Potter and the Death Hallows – Part 2.”
“People come up to me and say ‘I just love you’, and want to hug me. And that is dazzling,” Margolyes said while remembering a British newspaper once calling her “a national trinket.” “That’s very witty and rather cutting actually. I’d like to be a national treasure, but I don’t know if I really am.”
