Professor Sybil Trelawney won’t be played by Emma Thompson in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, reports MTV News.
The actress has instead opted to make a sequel to Nanny McPhee, the 2005 fantasy movie which she wrote and produced. Here’s what she had to say about leaving Harry Potter:
The Harry Potters are great big franchises that are something I’m not emotionally attached to or necessarily particularly creatively attached to. That’s more like doing a turn, whereas the Nanny McPhees are something I’ve written. The art is in those films, they’re very handmade, they’re something that’s very close to me. Those are the ones I really care about.
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang is the sequel she is working on. The story is set one hundred years later during wartime and follows two families of evacuees, with one from the country and the other from the city.

She will be missed. I wish the producers could work around her schedule. I’d like to see her all the way through.
