Actress's Age Reveal for Moaning Myrtle
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Shirley Henderson, who played Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter, revealed she was 37 when she first portrayed the 14-year-old ghost. Despite the age difference, she was cast due to her resemblance to the character. Henderson, now 60, initially wasnt a Harry Potter fan but was encouraged by her sister. She attended the audition dressed as a schoolgirl, helping her secure the role. Meanwhile, HBOs new Harry Potter series faces backlash over a narrator and increased security due to author J.K. Rowlings views.
