Miriam Margolyes (born May 18, 1941) portrays Professor Pomona Sprout in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. She will reprise the role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

[edit] Early Life

Margolyes was born in Oxford, England to Joseph Margolyes, a physician, and Ruth Walters, a real estate investor. She grew up in a Jewish family and began acting in her twenties in Cambridge.

[edit] Personal Life

Margolyes keeps her private life just that - private. But she has not seen any reason to keep it a secret that she is a lesbian, or as she playfully says "deliberately never been married or had children". She took some time off of her career to take care of her ill mother and spent a quarter of a million pounds on full time care for her father.

She intends to become an Australian citizen.
