Miriam Margolyes Says Adult ‘Harry Potter’ Fans Worry Her: “They Should Be Over That By Now”


Miriam Margolyes has some opinions about Harry Potter fans who have continued to stan the J.K. Rowland-created world into their adulthood.

Margolyes recently made headlines after she accused Little Shop of Horrors co-star Steve Martin of horrible treatment on the film set. “I was hit all day by doors opening in my face; repeatedly punched, slapped and knocked down by an unlovely and unapologetic Steve Martin – perhaps he was method acting – and came home grumpy with a splitting headache,” Margolyes wrote in her memoir Oh Miriam: Stories From An Extraordinary Life. Following the accusations, Martin released a statement saying he was “surprised” by Margolyes’ account of their working relationship, adding, “My memory is that we had a good communication as professional actors.”
