| | |  Philosopher's Stone Fat Lady actress passes away
Elizabeth Spriggs, who played the Fat Lady Gryffindor common room entrance portrait in Philosopher's Stone, recently passed away. Aged 78 the actress had excelled in her lifetime on both screen and stage. Quote:
Acting for Elizabeth Spriggs could be a painful experience: "You have to be open to new ideas. It's a little like an open wound, never healing ... It's vital to be constantly stretched ... I hated most of my disciplining, but it taught me more than technique."
Quote:
This was a career path, however, that brought her no fulfilment: "I felt as if I was dying inside. The desire to act was like a weight within me, and I knew if I didn't do anything it would destroy me."
Our condolences go out to her family and friends, in particular her husband and daughter. | |

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

That's terrible news. I guess she had already played her part of the Fat Lady though. And in DH there wouldn't have been a lot of acting for her. R.I.P | |
