Imelda Staunton, last seen as abortion-crusader Vera Drake, is going to play the wretched frog-faced hag Dolores Umbridge in the next Harry Potter movie, which is the person I called the role to be played by after reading Order of the Phoenix a couple years ago.
Yes, I deserved back-pats. And medals. And a cookie.
Staunton will be great. It's a role to rip one's teeth into, a real capitol-B Bitch.
Miriam Margolyes (above - what a scary picture!) would've been perfect, too, but unfortunately (for her) she's already playing Professor Sprout in the films. She's probably horribly depressed she took the Sprout role, since she's hardly gotten anything to do (Sprout's not an important character) and Umbridge is a huge, juicy role - the "most hated" character in the series, she's been called.
Margolyes looks the part more than Staunton (no offense intended, Miriam! Though... yeah, it could not be considered a compliment...) and my roommate voiced concern that Staunton is too sweet-faced for the role... but she's a capitol-A Actress, so I got faith.
Now if only Goblet of Fire would come out already...
