Moaning Mertle


Is the character sherly plays in harry potter (moaning mertle) really her or is it just the voice she does???

reply

It's definitely her. She plays the part and she does the squeaky voice. Watch her in other films and you'll find her quite recognisable.

thanks. so that is really how she looks like?

Holy SMoke, she did Moaning Myrtle! She's 41 today too! It was very clever of the HP4 makers to choose her, though any kid would have been good for the role. Loved her work in Tristam Shandy.

Oh man .. 41.. now all of a sudden that scene where Moaning Myrtle kept trying to sneak a peek of harry in the bathtub feels so much more perverted! "Shudder"

Yeah a kid would have been good, but for only one movie. Since Myrtle is dead, her looks can't change. If they had used a teenager for the role in COS, by the time they filmed GOF there would have been noticeable changes in the actress.

I know, i only just found out that she was almost 40 when she was trying to see harry naked in GOF. I am sooooooo gonna have nightmares tonight.
I can't believe she is that old!!

I find it "quite amusing", that the filmmakers, for the Harry Potter movies, would choose someone who could, actually, look young - and get away with it!

Moaning Myrtle cracks me up: she reminds me of my sister - who, incidently, acts very much, in the same manner, as Moaning Myrtle!
Especially, the bathtub scene, in Goblet Of Fire: that was my sister - DEAD ON!
