Miriam Margolyes Furious at Harry Potter Axe  9/29/06

British actress Miriam Margolyes has slammed Harry Potter movie bosses for dumping her from the next installment of the boy wizard tales.

Margolyes, who played Professor Sprout in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is so desperate to continue her role she's begging young fans to lobby franchise executives for her.

She says, "I'd love to be in another film but they just haven't asked me. I think it's a shame but the prospects of me doing another one now are remote.

"Please do campaign on my behalf though."

Margolyes isn't the only big name to be inexplicably cut from the movies - Julie Walters and Richard Griffiths have also recently been axed.
