“It was 25 years ago and it’s for children,” she added.
Miriam went on to admit that she’s confused as to why adults are still such big fans of Harry Potter even after all these years.
“They get stuck in it,” Miriam explained. “I do Cameos, and people say, ‘We’re having a Harry Potter-themed wedding, and I think, ‘Gosh, what’s their first night of fun going to be?’ I can’t even think about it. No.”
Miriam did call Harry Potter “wonderful” and expressed how “grateful” she is for the opportunity to play Professor Sprout, but did reiterated that “it’s over.”
