Miriam Margolyes, the sprightly 82-year-old who once wielded herbology magic as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter saga, has a message for all you grown-up Potterheads: it’s time to Accio yourselves into adulthood!

In a recent chat with New Zealand’s 1News, Miriam, bless her heart, couldn’t help but express her concern for those still clutching onto their Hogwarts dreams like a portkey to Neverland. With a twinkle in her eye, she mused, β€œHarry Potter β€” I worry about Harry Potter fans because they should be over that by now.” Ouch, Professor Sprout’s got sass!

Reminiscing about her days on the set, she couldn’t resist comparing the wizarding world fandom to her stint on the legendary British sitcom Blackadder. β€œIt was 25 years ago and it’s for children,” she quipped, as if gently swatting away a pesky Cornish Pixie.

Miriam, in her infinite wisdom, pondered aloud why grown-ups are still riding the Hogwarts Express all these years later. β€œThey get stuck in it,” she declared, shaking her head in disbelief. And don’t even get her started on those Harry Potter-themed weddings! β€œGosh, what’s their first night of fun going to be?” she wondered, her mind veering into territory even the Marauder’s Map couldn’t navigate.

Now, don’t get her wrong, Miriam isn’t tossing floo powder on your dreams. She acknowledges the magic of Harry Potter, calling it β€œwonderful” and expressing her eternal gratitude for donning those green robes. But let’s be real, as she succinctly put it: β€œit’s over.” Time to pack up your quills, stash your Chocolate Frogs, and bid farewell to the castle. But hey, at least we’ll always have Butterbeer!
