Miriam Margolis, an actor known among the millennia for her performance as a professor Sprit in the Harry Potter films, was asked to join Well -received minisers in 2024 "Agatha All Together", " Playing the role of the centuries -old, witch with divination, Lilia Calderu. She declined the role (which ended up in Patty Lucon) for two fun reasons: she is sick of stories that include witches, and does not like the United States

"They just contacted me and said we were making a story about witches," Margolis explained to NewsUs Corp Australia News.com.au In 2024.

After being said that "Agatha all the time" was for witches, the project became even less appealing to Margolis when he learned that the recording would take place in Atlanta, Georgiador. "Of course, it was a little disappointing because I don't like America," she noted. "And I didn't want to be in the Georgialar four months, so I just said," Well, I want a million pounds, "and they said," Well, you can have half a million, "and I said" no, I don't want to do it. " (...) I think it's really a story of my greed. "

She did not explain much about why she does not like the United States, but the flight time makes Margolis reluctance to visit the Georgialarist pretty cute. The actor may be British, but currently lives in Australia (where he is now a citizen). The flight from Australia to Atlanta lasts at least 20 hours, so it's a kind of trip you would only make if you were really excited about what you were planning to do when you landed. For "Agatha all together", the excitement just wasn't there for her.

In a separate interview of 2024 with Australia at ABC Newsume BreakfastMargolis has made it clear that her contempt for the Harry Potter franchise has less than the films and more to the random adult that surrounds them. "I'm not happy with that. I just think it's for kids," she admitted. "If your balls have fallen, then it's time to forget about it. You know, keep up with other things." She then clarified that she thought those films were "a wonderful set of movies", but added: "It was 25 years ago. Growing!"

In an interview for July 2025 for Podcast "gay old time"Margolis also expressed discomfort with Anti-Trans told and activism by the author "Harry Potter" JK Rowling (Although it is unclear whether this discomfort has contributed to its general contempt for adults "Potter" by accident). "I think her opinion is too cruel," Margolis said. Lesbian actor opened: "I really feel support for this small group of people who are trance, and if I want to use pronouns, I think it's the right thing to do. (...) If you can make people happy, do it."

Margolis's criticism of Rowling is particularly noticeable because he had previously seemed to support the author. In 2020, she openly sympathized with Rowling, and in 2022, she declared it "JK Rowling's viticulture is wrong." However, by 2024, she defended her colleagues' Harry Potter "colleagues Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe for publicly disagree with Rowling's views. As Margolis said The telegraph That year:

"They have grown up and have opinions. Well, why can't they give their opinions?
