Quote:
Miriam Margolyes: JK Rowling is a fabulous woman. And I just love the fact that the richest woman in Britain is a writer – what a brilliant state of affairs. But Harry Potter didn’t make me rich [Margolyes played Professor Pomona Sprout]: I was pleasantly paid, and it was just extraordinary to be a part of something that will mean generations of children know who I am.
