As HBO develops a new adaptation of the Harry Potter saga into a TV series, an actress from the films well-known to fans has just revealed that she only has 5 or 6 years to live.
Many cult Harry Potter actors have left us
Fans of the Harry Potter franchise recently discovered the new casting of the main trio who will lead the TV series adaptation of J.K. Rowling's work. A choice that seems to particularly please them, if we are to believe the feedback on social networks. Moreover, the British writer, who is involved in the project as an executive producer, did not hesitate to give her opinion on the young actors chosen when a fan asked her about it on the social network X.
While the series is banking on new faces for this adaptation of Harry Potter for television, some are still hoping to see actors from the films get a role or make an appearance. Sadly, many iconic actors from the film saga have left us.
Among them are Michael Gambon who took over the role of Albus Dumbledore after the death of Richard Harris, Alan Rickman the iconic Professor Snape, Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) and Maggie Smith who played Professor Minerva McGonagall. Today, it's another feature film actress who has just declared that she only has a few years left to live.
This Harry Potter actress makes a shocking revelation
Indeed, in an interview with the Times, actress Miriam Margolyes made a shocking confession, to say the least. Harry Potter fans know her well, as she played Pomona Sprout, the Herbology professor at Hogwarts. In 2023, the 84-year-old actress spoke about her health issues. She underwent heart surgery to replace an aortic valve with one from a cow. A method to avoid open heart surgery.
In this recent interview, the octogenarian said she was aware that she would not live much longer:
When you know you don't have much longer, and I will probably die in the next 5 or 6 years, maybe even sooner, I prefer not to stop playing.
After her hospitalization in 2023, Miriam Margolyes had already discussed the idea of dying. She explained: "When you're young, you never think about death, but now I really think about it a lot." Despite everything, the British actress isn't ready to end her career. Even though she knows that the future roles she'll be given will be very different from what she's done in the past.
Miriam Margolyes, who plays Professor Sprout, is also the Head of Hufflepuff House. We invite you to discover these 4 strangest secrets about this Hogwarts house.
