Thompson isn&#8217;t the first person to be ho-hum about the series, either.

I\u2019m really sorry. I don\u2019t mean to be rude to those of you who like Harry Potter, but you know, I really came in, did a bit with glasses and hair, and then left, having been quite well paid. I\u2019m very grateful to them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I believe Emma Thompson when she says she\u2019s not trying to be \u201crude.\u201d Since her Hogwarts professor character was primarily featured in <em>Prisoner of Azkaban, <\/em>with brief screen time in<em> Order of the Phoenix <\/em>and <em>Deathly Hallows: Part 2, <\/em>it makes sense that her connection to the franchise isn\u2019t a particularly personal one. It actually gives me echoes of Harry Melling, who played Dudley Dursley. His <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/harry-potters-dudley-actor-explains-how-his-experience-working-on-the-franchise-was-unique-compared-to-his-co-stars\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:experience filming Potter was also a blip;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">experience filming Potter was also a blip<\/a> in which he filmed short scenes, then went back to school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even though Professor Trelawney didn\u2019t have a big role in the <em>Harry Potter <\/em>series, you can\u2019t fail to recognize her importance.

Emma Thompson, who\u2019s given transformative performances in the <em>Nanny McPhee<\/em> movies and <em>Sense and Sensibility, <\/em>was completely unrecognizable as the Hogwarts teacher. The way she portrayed her character\u2019s unpredictability and eccentricities with such humor made the minor character totally unforgettable &#8212; at least to me, apparently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Emma Thompson\u2019s time in <em>Harry Potter<\/em> may not have been \u201can important part\u201d of her career, but she said she did feel \u201cgrateful\u201d for the experience.
