| | |  Professor Umbridge has been cast!
It was previously rumoured that Imelda Staunton was to play Professor Umbridge in ' Order of the Phoenix'.
The actress appeared on ' This Morning' earlier today and confirmed that she will play the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor in the fifth film. She said that she has not yet received a script but that she is definitely going to be in the film.
The news is also confirmed on the shows website: Quote: Harry Potter
Imelda plays Professor Dolores Umbridge, the special assistant from the Ministry of Magic who ends up torturing the famous boy wizard at Hogwarts. Umbridge is meant to teach Defence Against The Dark Arts to Hogwarts students, but she has a hidden agenda - namely to spy on the school's head, Albus Dumbledore, and Harry. Fans of the fifth Harry Potter book, The Order Of The Phoenix, in which Professor Umbridge is introduced, love to loathe her. Described by author J. K. Rowling as a short, squat woman bearing an uncanny resemblance to a toad, she's a much-celebrated hate figure.
Note: This would have been up MUCH earlier if SS hadn’t died on us. Sorry for the apparent ‘lateness’. The irony being we were actually one of the first sites to know about it. *grumbles and kicks the server*  | |

Yeah she does look good for the role. I think she'll play a good Professor Umbridge. She was nominated for leading role at the 77th academy awards, so yes of course she's a good actress. Of course she'll probably have to wear alot of make-up since we know Umbridge wasn't the loveliest of them all.

Kool! Who the heck is Imelda Stauton? Everyone tells me that she plays as Rita Skeeter, but my mom says she's not. I'm confused  !

No that's Miranda Richardson. Click the link on Imelda's name and you'll see a list of all the films she's done.

I'm sure she's gonna be perfect. She looks really pretty though so they'll probably have to put a lot of make-up on her to make her look ugly.

Not what I pictured. I pictured the lady who played Mimi (Kathy Kinney) on "The Drew Carey Show".

I think that she looks good for the part. It would kind of suck to be considered toadlike, though.

she looks like she could be made up very well to be umbridge. i don't think she "looks" like umbridge right now, but she has the face shape that could be done easy. =) =) =) now THAT is gonna be a really good movie!!! (as if they aren't all)

Cool news! I agree with what's been said before...they're now giving us suspense for the 5th movie, which we don't really need right now; we're already caught up too much with the 4th movie! lol
Imelda looks like a good actress with a very long acting history, so she should be good.

| Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
I think she will do well as Umbridge.
