The moreHarry Potterfans, the better, for Jessie Cave.
“You know how she is — she’s just a bit funny. And I think she didn’t mean for it to be taken like that, I hope. … I really don’t like that she said that,” Cave continued of Margolyes, who played Herbology professor and head of Hogwarts' Hufflepuff house, Professor Pomona Sprout, in the movies.

Cave went on to say, “It’s just such an amazing thing thatHarry Potterhas done,” adding that the blockbuster fantasy series has “created a community” and “fan base that has aged and is still bonded through [it], and it’s passed on to younger people and younger generations, and that’s what’s so amazing.”
“She probably just doesn’t understand that [or] get that. So that’s okay, and just let her be,” Cave continued of Margolyes. “But I think it’s just very unusual, this situation.”
“They get stuck in it,” she explained. “I doCameos, and people say, ‘We’re having aHarry Potter-themed wedding,' and I think, ‘Gosh, what’s their first night of fun going to be?’ I can’t even think about it. No.”
And although theAge of Innocenceactress calledHarry Potter“wonderful” and shared that she was “grateful” for the opportunity for the role, she reiterated that “it’s over."
Harry Potteris clearly still near and dear not only to many fans' hearts but that of several of its stars, who regularly make convention appearances, including at the recent Dream It Con.
Cave even joined forces withRupert Grintto recreate one of their most famous scenes together: when Lavender gives boyfriend Ron Weasley (Grint, 35), a.k.a. her “Won-Won,” a necklace reading “My Sweetheart” forChristmas.
Grint and Cave leveraged theTikToktrend that usesSimple Plan’s song “I’m Just a Kid” to recreate past moments — in this case, the scene where Lavenderputs the necklace on a mortified Ron.
“Lavender Brown reunited with her Won-won this weekend at our#ETWWconvention! 💖⚡️🪄,” read the caption on the fun throwback clip.
