Australian icon and the talented actress, Margot Robbie, famous for bringing Harley Quinn to life in The Suicide Squad, has a secret passion. In a revelation that has delighted fans, Robbie got candid about her admiration for JK Rowling’s magical book series, Harry Potter, which was later turned into films under Warner Bros.
Claiming to be a self-proclaimed Harry Potter nerd, Margot Robbie recalled incidents from her childhood that revealed her enthusiasm for the franchise. Thus, given her enduring passion for the magical world created by J.K. Rowling, Robbie seems to be the perfect fit for a potential Cursed Child movie.
Margot Robbie Expressed Her Penchant for Harry Potter
Rising to fame after sharing screen with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, to venturing into the DC Universe as Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie catapulted her fame and turned into a global icon. Thereafter, the actress turned into a quintessential part of DC Studios, as she reprised her role in Birds of Prey.
During the press tour for her 2020 DC flick, Margot Robbie appeared on The Graham Norton Show and revealed a fascinating anecdote about her life. Openly expressing her love for J.K. Rowling’s world of magic, Robbie delighted fans by claiming to be a self-proclaimed Harry Potter nerd, while sharing an image from her teenage years.
When it comes to Harry Potter, I’m a massive massive nerd… Do you know what’s particularly pathetic about this picture? A couple of things really. Number one, it’s my birthday, that’s how I chose to spend my birthday. Number two I’m drinking tea. Number three, I’m wearing glasses even though I don’t need glasses. I lied to the optometrist because I wanted to have glasses like Harry Potter.
Moreover, Margot Robbie’s connection to the Harry Potter series extends beyond her own enthusiasm. The actress revealed how her husband, Tom Ackerley, was an extra in Prisoner of Azkaban, who was pushed aside by Tom Felton’s Draco Malfoy during one scene. This particular bit truly makes Robbie and her husband, a power couple for Wizarding World fans.
The DC Star Might be Perfect for a Potential Cursed Child Movie
Learning about the stories from the actress herself, Margot Robbie’s enthusiasm for Harry Potter seems more than just a casual interest. Her enduring passion for the franchise and her husband’s connection to the films seemingly make her a perfect choice for a potential movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Although there have been no reports about Warner Bros. and JK Rowling‘s plans regarding Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and its big screen adaptation, Margot Robbie seems to be the preferable choice, if someday the project gets a green light.
Given Margot Robbie‘s penchant for the franchise, it’s only exciting to imagine The Suicide Squad star in a role connected to the Wizarding World. The actress would undoubtedly shine through in any potential performance as a character in the Cursed Child story, which follows the adventures of Harry’s youngest son Albus Severus Potter.
In the end, we can only hope that the stars align to bring this dream casting of Margot Robbie in a possible Cursed Child movie, to life.
Harry Potter movies are available on Max.
