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 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!
