It has been over twenty-years sinceHarry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stonehit cinemas and despite some of its actors and fans moving on, it seems some just can’t leave the Wizarding World behind. Unfortunately for them, one Harry Potter star believes they should “grow up”.
Despite theHarry Potterseries being marketed for children, having it as a big staple of our childhood means that many of us grew up with it. As a result, it is not uncommon to meet die-hard fans who are now in their twenties and thirties. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with this, Harry Potterstar Miriam Margolyes believes these adult fans should move on.

Now it appears as though Margolyes is doubling down on her views despite the controversy they sparked last week when they went viral. For the actress who played Hogwarts' Professor Sprout in both 2002’sHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secretsand 2011’sHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2,she still believes the series is for children.
“I’m not unhappy about it. I just think that it’s for children,” Margolyes said on Australia’s ABCNews Breakfast. “And if your balls have dropped, then it’s time to forget about it. You know, go on to other things.”
Although she agrees that it is a “great series” and a “wonderful set offilms,” she ended with, “But it was 25 years ago. Grow up!”
