Even in the acting business, where good relationships are important, there are stars who don’t mince words. Harry Potter actress Miriam Margolyes is one of them. Hogwarts fans know her as herbology teacher Professor Sprout, but when she’s not repotting screaming mandrakes, the Brit also likes to express her opinions loudly and funny.
Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes turned down a Marvel role despite a huge fee
The now 83-year-old Miriam Margolyes has already appeared in films such as Yentl, Little Shop of Horrors and Time of Innocence, but she is best known for wearing earmuffs Hufflepuff Head of House Pomona Sprout from Harry Potter 2 and Harry Potter 7.2.
Over the years, however, the Englishwoman has repeatedly caught the attention of Harry Potter lovers through comments in which she explained her lack of understanding of the ongoing enthusiasm for the wizarding world. She recently recommended Hogwarts fans on ABC News, “finally grown up” to become. She also complained that Arnold Schwarzenegger was her “intentionally farted in the face” have. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Miriam Margolyes too clear views on her rejected Marvel role has.

Harry Potter 2: Miriam Margolyes as Professor Sprout
Margolyes recently promoted her book Oh Miriam!: Stories from an Extraordinary Life * on the Australian news site News.com.au and talked about the MCU project that had been approached to her:
They contacted me and said, ‘We’re doing a story about witches.’ And I thought: ‘Oh God, not witches again. I already did that in Harry Potter. […] I don’t like America and I didn’t want to go to Georgia for four months. So I just said, ‘I want a million pounds [1,1 Millionen Euro]’ and they said ‘you can have half a million’. And I said, ‘No, I don’t want to do that’ and then it was over. The Professor Sprout actress turned down this Marvel role
The project the Harry Potter actress is talking about is most likely Marvel’s WandaVision spin-off Agatha: Darkhold Diaries. Miriam Margolyes laughs afterwards at her own “Greed”.
At least we can already answer the question of whether the British actress is aiming for another appearance in the Harry Potter series with her statements.
