1st?Happy birthday Mrs.Margolyes! You are a great actress! I hope to see you in the next 2 films! Plants rule!


Happy birthday to Miriam!!
She is a great actress, and is really funny both as an actress and a person! She rocks!!!

First…HAPPY B-DAY!!! second, what are the odds that the characters b day and the actresses b day are that close to each other.

Cheers! Happy Birthday, Miriam! You do a Brilliant job at portraying Professor Sprout!
Ethan: “Plants Rule!”? Ha ha! That made me laugh out loud!

I think that may is Hufflepuff month, from whichever way you look at it. Last year we were told that Tonks was a Hufflepuff around this time, weren’t we?
Happy b-day to Miriam Margoyles!
Let’s hope she is in for HBP and DH (she HAS to be there, since I want to see Proff. Sprout’s DE-derriere-kicking plants in all their glory!)
PS: Plants DO rule :P

Yes matea; by a happy coincidence, Professor Sprout’s birthday is given as 15 May, which she shares with this writer.

What a lovely coincidence that her onscreen character shares a birthday so close to her own! Happy Birthday Ms. Margolyes! Can’t wait to see you in the upcoming HBP movie and in the DH battle scenes!

Happy Birthday! You’re a great actress! Hope to see you in the next films!

my Grandma has spoken to her on the phone before, don’t ask me how it happened, but i’m pretty jealous of her. happy birthday miriam!

Happy Hufflepuff month!.... I really hope that catches on Fer_Keeper. Miriam Margolyes is SUCH a funny actress, if you’ve ever seen her in interviews or listened to her anecdotes, you’ll know what I mean- she’s just amazing


Happy Birthday, Miriam Margolyes, and many more. I have watched your performances over many years and they have always been first-rate, you are a very talented lady. I look forward to a grand finale in DH as you lead your green troops into battle.

I didn’t know this actresses name until just now, doesn’t it sound harry potter-y? i thought it was some character I’d managed to overlook. somehow. Happy birthday to her!

I may be a Gryffindor, but ‘GO, GO HUFFLEPUFF!” and Go Ms Margolyes! Raise a class and give a cheer! Your Happy Birthday, from me, down here! :D [Better late, than never…but never late is better!]
