Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes has been admitted to hospital and has told fans she "can't come home". Miriam is well known for her role as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films and her documentaries including Miriam's Big Fat Adventure.
Miriam has been admitted to the hospital following a chest infection and has had to stay in hospital longer than expected. Miriam first told fans that she was due to undergo a £55,000 transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure on Thursday, May 5.
The procedure, often referred to as TAVI, aims to improve the blood flow in one's heart by replacing an aortic valve that doesn't open fully. Miriam said she chose to go private and have it done at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
