Miriam Margolyes has been admitted to hospital with a chest infection and said she "can't come home."
The 81-year-old Harry Potter star said she must stay in hospital longer than expected. The actress, who plays Professor Sprout in the popular film series, told fans she was due to undergo a transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure on May 5.
The procedures, often referred to as TAVI, aims to improve the blood flow to the heart by replacing an aortic valve that doesn't open fully. Miriam said she chose to go private for the £55,000 operation at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
