Beloved Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes has shared that she has a limited time left to live.
At 83, Margolyes has enjoyed a remarkably successful career, featuring in various family-friendly films like Babe and Flushed Away, in addition to her acclaimed performances in prestigious roles such as Baz Luhrmann’s award-winning Romeo and Juliet and her extensive work in theater.
In a recent interview, the cherished actress provided a heartbreaking update on her health, leaving the internet feeling devastated.
“She’s an absolute legend—a wonderful person who will be a tremendous loss,” one fan commented.
Another fan wrote, “She’s incredible. An advocate for justice and inclusion, we will be losing another of the truly good ones. Her legacy will be one of remarkable warmth and wisdom. I will miss her.”
“Surely there’s something in the Wizarding World that can save her!” another fan remarked.
In 2002, Margolyes was honored with an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for her contributions to drama.
She has also received a BAFTA for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for The Age of Innocence and was awarded Best Supporting Actress at the LA Critics Circle Awards for Little Dorrit.
When reflecting on her work earlier this year, the British-Australian actress stated, “I love making people laugh. I’ve done that my entire life.”
