Harry Potter alum Jessie Cave is sharing her thoughts on her former co-star Miriam Margolyes’ comments that people who are still superfans of the franchise “should be over that by now.”
Cave, who played Lavender Brown in three films based on J.K. Rowling’s book saga, was asked about Margolyes’ statements during a recent appearance at Dream It Con. She starred in Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, parts one and two.
“It’s such a shame that that happened,” she said. “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.”
Cave added, “I really don’t like that she said that.”

Jessie Cave has shared her thoughts after Harry Potter co-star Miriam Margolyes divided opinions after saying adult fans of the Jk Rowling book saga-based films worried her.
Cave appeared at Dream it Con and was asked about Margolyes’ comments about fans, who are now adults, needing to outgrow the franchise.
“It’s such a shame that that happened,” she said. “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.
She then added, “I really don’t like that she said that.”
Cave played the role of Lavender Brown in three films, starting with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in 2009 and followed by the last two films, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Margolyes caused uproar among Harry Potter fans when she appeared on a New Zealand show dissing adult fans of the fantasy saga.

While it may have been almost a decade and a half since the last film in the iconic Harry Potter franchise was released for the big screen, the legacy of the cinematic experiences as well as the literary excellence achieved by author J.K. Rowling will always be dearly remembered by the fans.
Even though many who grew up watching the movies or reading books may now be full-fledged adults, they still haven’t forgotten their experiences with these pieces of popular culture.

Harry Potter star Jessie Cave is expecto-ing her fourth child. The British actress who is best known for playing Ron Weasley-crazed Gryffindor Lavender Brown in the popular film series, took to Instagram Friday, Dec. 3 to confirm that a fourth witch or wizard will be joining her family of five with partner and comedian Alfie Brown. The happy couple, who have been dating for seven years, share Donnie, 7, Margot, 4 and Abraham, 14 months, and from the looks of these images, complete with a pink flower crown for the queen she is, it's safe to say the 34-year-old mom is ecstatic about the new addition.

Jessie Cave can't believe how far her family has come. One year ago this week, the Harry Potter star welcomed her third child, a baby boy named Abraham "Bam" Benjamin after what she described as a "slightly extreme" birth. Two months later, the actress' newborn was hospitalized with Covid-19 and released days later. On Thursday, Oct. 21, Jessie, who played the lovelorn Lavender Brown in three of the Harry Potter films, marked her son's first birthday with a personal post that reflected on the family's unforgettable year. "Happy birthday tiny Tennessee," she wrote on Instagram when sharing her son's nickname. "It's been lovely...

Turns out Jessie Cave's time at Hogwarts wasn't so magical after all. The actor, who played Lavender Brown—the Gryffindor who famously cast a love spell on Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise—has lingering trauma from her experience. "I was not a right fit for the industry at that time," she told The Guardian. "Lavender Brown is conventionally pretty, no glasses, small. By the time I went back to do the last film, I had gained a bit of weight and I wasn't that person any more." The treatment she received was so bad—she recounted an anonymous costume director "grabbing" her stomach—that she is now "terrified" when she goes into a costume...

As a compulsive diary writer – she has kept one since she was eight – Jessie Cave knows that, unless it gets written down, life gets forgotten. She is glad, then, that she wrote her debut novel, Sunset, because the way she felt at the time “would have just gone, and then you’re in a different place and you don’t remember”. This book, says Cave, was “absolutely the only thing I could write during that period”.
In March 2019, her younger brother Ben died in an accident aged 27. Her book was written in the aftermath, that manic feeling that sometimes comes with grief pushing her on. It went straight to No 1 on the Times’ bestseller list after being published in June.

In an interview with the U.K. newspaper The Independent, published on Wednesday, June 30, the 34-year-old actress and writer recalled struggling emotionally and feeling that she was treated differently after she put on several pounds after making her debut at age 20 as Lavender Brown in the 2009 movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

"Nothing's gone to plan, which I guess everyone can relate to this year, but it was a really, really scary start because he was in the neonatal unit after a really, really sudden quick labor.

"Where's all this coming from?" Cleopatra has unveiled an official trailer for an indie romantic drama titled Modern Life is Rubbish, which played at the Edinburgh and Hawaii Film Festivals last year. The film is about a young couple on the verge of breaking-up. Brought together by their shared love of music, initially it was "opposites attract", but this didn't work for them long-term. Making the difficult decision to separate, they must split their prized music library. "But the sound track that defined their relationship keeps pulling them back together." Aww. Modern Life is Rubbish stars Freya Mavor and Josh Whitehouse as Natalie and Liam, with a cast including Tom Riley, Ian Hart, and Jessie Cave. This seems like a very smart, emotionally devastating look at modern love - and how complex it is. I also quite like the poster - see below. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for...

Even though fairy tales themselves have often been dark throughout the years, the translation to film from book form has almost exclusively been directed towards young audiences. Occasionally we get more adult themed fairy tales, but they tend to be few and far between. Lost a bit in the Tribeca shuffle for me was the release last weekend of the new movie from Matteo Garrone, the fantasy film of sorts Tale of Tales. It’s a real unique flick, having debuted last year at the Cannes Film Festival before finally now in theatrical release, as of the weekend. It’s interesting enough that I wanted to make a quick mention of it, as it’s really something else. The film is, more or less, a collection of a few fairy tales, just given a different spin than usual. There’s three main ones, including the obsessive quest of the Queen...

This crowdpleasing winner of the Queer Palm at Cannes--where it closed the Directors' Fortnight--centers on the true UK story of a group of eager, streetwise, Lgbt youngsters who in 1984 rallied to support the underserved National Union of Mineworkers, taking their little-campaign-that-could (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners) from the grassroots level in a small Welsh village to national fame. Warchus' first film in 15 years after 1998's commercially unsuccessful "Simpatico" boasts an impressive glut of rising stars including Joseph Gilgun, Jessie Cave, Freddie Fox, Liz White, Andrew Scott, Russell Tovey and, of course, adorable 22-year-old George MacKay who plays young Joe, the film's in-the-closet, fish-out-of-water hero who lives outside London and is a stranger in this strange land of the city. Across-the-pond regulars include Bill Nighy, Paddy Considine, Imelda Staunton, and a scene-stealing Dominic West as a tortured but life-loving artist living with...

Why E4’s crime mystery Glue, starting on the 15th of September, is more than just ‘Skins on tractors’…
Despite the obvious connections - it features a group of hedonistic, shagging, pilled-up youths and was created by former Skins writer Jack Thorne - E4’s Glue is a different beast to the channel’s flagship teen show. It’s an eight-part whodunit that repurposes the rural setting of TV’s cosy vet dramas and twee countryside tales into something poetic, dangerous, and sometimes quite beautiful.
Filmed around the village of Hungerford, Berkshire, Glue tells its story against a backdrop of barley fields, grain silos and paddocks. Don’t think that its depiction of rural life is bucolic though. In Glue’s working agricultural world, calves are slaughtered, machinery is treacherous, and stables house million pound investments, not race horses. Glue’s young protagonists aren’t part of a pastoral idyll...

Glue, the highly-anticipated new drama series created and written by BAFTA-winning writer Jack Thorne, comes to E4 on Monday 15th September at 10:00pm.
Set in a small village called Overton, it's about the murder of a boy, and how it affects his friends and the community that they live in.
Yasmine Paige plays Ruth Rosen, a 20 year old provisional police officer from a Romany background. She and her Romany mum are estranged from the travelling community, but that doesn’t stop Ruth. Not much does. Not being a young single mum, or the fact that she lives in the same village as a group of friends who no longer talk to her. She’s made of stronger stuff, or at least she thinks she is. Yasmine (represented by Curtis Brown), starred in the critically-acclaimed Submarine, and was named as a Screen International Star of Tomorrow in 2010.

Andrew Scott and Imelda Staunton appear in a new clip from Pride.
Matthew Warchus's widely acclaimed comedy-drama follows a group of gay and lesbian activists who band together to raise money for the families of miners during the 1984 strike.

Viacom International Media Networks has announced multi-camera sitcom development projects Operation Slut and Medics for Comedy Central.
An agreement has been signed with Tom Edge to adapt Operation Slut, while a pilot for Medics has been green lit to shoot next month.
"Medics is a laugh-out-loud sitcom that perfectly combines adolescent humour with fast-paced drama while Operation Slut is a hilarious satire of modern-day relationships - both of which sit perfectly within our channel portfolio," said by Jill Offman, managing director of Comedy Central UK and senior vice president of international content at Comedy Central.
Operation Slut was originally written by Taii K. Austin (Underemployed, Nurse Jackie, Scrubs, Ugly Betty) and will be adapted by British writer Edge (Pramface, Threesome, The Midnight Beast) for international broadcast.
The show is about 30-year-old marriage-focused "neurotic do-gooder" Ivy who on being proposed to is not ready to settle down, and instead embarks on...

The new adaptation of Great Expectations is something of a Harry Potter reunion. It's directed by Mike Newell, who made Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and in key roles it has four of the regulars from the series. First, there's a feral Ralph Fiennes as the escaped convict, Magwitch, who seizes upon the young Pip (Toby Irvine) on the Kentish marshes. Then there's Helena Bonham Carter, doing her usual queenly wafting as Miss Havisham, and looking a lot more curvaceous than the walking corpse described by Dickens. When grown Pip (played by Toby's big brother, Jeremy Irvine from War Horse) is plonked into London's high society, there's Robbie Coltrane as Jaggers the lawyer, while Jessie Cave (Ron Weasley's pre-Hermione girlfriend) plays Biddy, who is left behind in Kent.

Today we have poster and 47 hi-res photos from the upcoming adaptation of Great Expectations!
The newest version stars Helena Bonham Carter as the infamous Miss Havisham, Ralph Fiennes as Magwitch, Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown) as Biddy, Robbie Coltrane as Mr. Jaggers and newcomer Jeremy Irvine, fresh from his lead role in Spielberg’s War Horse, as Pip.
Charles Dickens‘ classic centers on the character of Pip, a young boy of meager means who nevertheless befriends a creepy old rich lady named Miss Havisham, falls in love with her beautiful but twisted young ward Estella (Holliday Grainger), and eventually becomes a young gentleman with a bursting pocketbook and a wealth of potential due to the generosity of an anonymous benefactor (identity withheld).
The Mike Newell-directed film does not yet have a release date.

Last night, Sky Movies invited us along to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London for a rather fabulous evening in the Great Hall. Sky have this week launched a brand new section to their ever increasing catalogue of movies which boasts all 8 Harry Potter movies in one place and on demand whenever you feel the need to watch one. Sky do seem to be snapping up as many epic franchise as possible with both James Bond and now Potter all in the last few months. Our guess is that Star Wars is next although that may well be fun negotiation on how it will work after Disney have snapped up Lucasfilm!

J.K. Rowling's next book needs to come out Immediately because the Harry Potter cast is being severely missed over here. And no, we don't have all the time in the world to just fly on over to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter every time we get sentimental to drink some butterbeer and buy yet another wand. But to hold us over for the time being, at least a new blooper reel was just released showing off Rupert Grint's adorable giggles.

We finally get our first look at Holliday Grainger, one of Screenterrier's favourite British rising stars, as Estella, alongside Jeremy Irvine as Pip.
The new film adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, directed by Mike Newell, is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. It was over a year ago that Screenterrier reported on the casting of Holliday Grainger as Estella, the love interest and emotional torturer of the orphan Pip, who is played by young War Horse star Jeremy Irvine.
Holly (represented by Troika) stars as Lucrezia Borgia in Neil Jordan’s TV series The Borgias. She has also had recent roles in Cary Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre and in Bel Ami opposite Robert Pattinson.
Producer Elizabeth Karlsen of Number 9 Films commented "She is just an incredibly fine actor and has the beauty that is needed for Estella as well as an extraordinary technical ability.

Former Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave on the film's fans and how they inspired her Edinburgh fringe debut show, Bookworm
Jessie Cave is fretting about her house. "It isn't waterproof!" Behind her huge, plastic-framed specs, her eyes are round. She is referring to the painted cardboard edifice in the shape of a house that she's made to help convince Edinburgh fringe punters to see her new one-woman show, Bookworm, based on the launch of a fictional book club.
The 25-year-old actress from west London is best known for her turn as Ron Weasley-obsessed Gryffindor student Lavender Brown in the last three Harry Potter films, but other projects include a comedy video series where she encourages Simon Amstell to use Twitter, and her website, Pindippy.com, which is rapidly gaining a cult following.
Bookworm began as a riff on the cheerfully obsessed Harry Potter fans she has met over the years.

Jessie Cave has said that Mike Newell's adaptation of Great Expectations is nothing like the recent BBC TV version. Cave plays Biddy in the new reworking of Charles Dickens's novel, which reunites her with Harry Potter colleagues Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham-Carter. "The Harry Potter thing for Great Expectations was utterly irrelevant," Cave told Digital Spy. "People like Helena Bonham-Carter and Ralph Fiennes, they won't remember you. So even if you were like, 'Hey, I was Lavender Brown', they'll be like, 'Er...'." She added: "You make a connection on a day-to-day basis. We were in a make-up trailer and it was just me, Helena and Ralph, and that would never have happened on Harry Potter because comparatively it's a tiny production. (more)...

Orlando, Florida — The books are long finished, the movies are now over, but all it takes is one step inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida, to know that "Potter" is forever.
Still, despite the ever-flowing butterbeer and copious amounts of "Potter"-based roller-coaster rides, there's always room for improvement, even at the Wizarding World. After all, the "Potter" universe is just too grand to fit every single element into one theme park. With that in mind, when MTV News traveled down to Orlando to cover the red-carpet celebration of the "Deathly Hallows Part 2" DVD release, we asked the cast and crew to weigh in on which features of J.K. Rowling's imaginative world they'd like to see included in future park updates.
