Umbridge cast for OotP Movie!

[Catwoman99]

I just read that Imelda Staunton has been cast as Umbridge. I know many people were predicting her. I think she'll do good.

What do y'all think?

P.S. I haven't been on much because I just moved to a new house and am unpacking. :-)

And Evanna Lynch will play Luna I think. ohhh even though the fourth movie has just come out I can't wait to see the fifth!

I wonder how Staunton will play Umbridge. she'll do a great job of it though.

Staunton looks like she could be very good Umbridge. I'm not sure about the girl who plays Luna though she doesn't fit my picture but I guess i'll have to wait for the film to judge that.

[Catwoman99]

They also cast Bella, Tonks, and Mrs. Figg. I can't remember their names, but it should be on Mugglenet or hpana.org.

I know this isn't OotP but HBP - but can't you just see Albert Finney as Slughorn?

In case you don't know who he is:
www.imdb.com/name/nm0001215/

He was in Big Fish and did a great Churchill with Vanessa Redgrave for HBO last year.

Oh he would be great, Bonnie! His portrayl of Churchill in the Gathering Storm was absolutely brilliant!

I love Staunton so I have high expectations for her Umbridge though she doesn't come across toad like really. I had pictured the Brit actress Patricia Routledge ( Hyacinth Bucket in 'Keeping Up Appearances)



I did know a few people who had hoped that Judi would become Umbridge but I am sure she couldn't nearly kill her close friend Maggie

I think she will do the part justice.

I have not seen Imelda Staunton in any of her roles yet, but from what I've been hearing about her, I think she'll do justice to the part. I just hope those parts with Minerva and Umbridge battling it out won't be cut.

And I really want to hate Natalia Tena for getting my dream role, but I can't, because I'm so excited to see her in the movie already! I've no complaints about her so far except... *readies tweezers*
