- Miriam Margolyes, the 84-year-old actor known for playing Professor Sprout in Harry Potter, has earned £570,000 from the personalised video message platform Cameo since joining in 2020.

- Margolyes revealed on Romesh Ranganathan's podcast that the earnings allow her to "spend rather more freely" than she would have been able to otherwise.

- The actor also reflected on the enduring impact of Harry Potter on people's childhoods, acknowledging its importance for her career despite not being her most significant acting role.
