The „Harry Potter“ star has revealed that she „doesn’t have long left to live“ following a shocking heart procedure.
Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes has shared a heartbreaking health update.
The beloved actress, who portrayed Professor Pomona Sprout in the hit fantasy franchise, revealed that she “doesn’t have long left to live” following a shocking heart procedure.
“When you know that you haven’t got long to live, and I’m probably going to die within the next five or six years, if not before, I’m loath to leave behind performing,” Margolyes, 84, told The Times this week, per The Mirror.
“It’s such a joy,” she added. “I yearn to play roles that don’t confine me to wheelchairs, but I’m just not strong enough.”
The tragic update comes months after Margolyes, who has also starred in TV shows like “Doctor Who” and “Call the Midwife,” received a transcatheter aortic valve replacement in 2023.
The actress underwent the procedure to avoid having to undergo future open-heart surgeries.
“I’ve got a cow’s heart now,” she joked on the “Table Manners” podcast shortly after undergoing the operation.
