She looks good for the part. How awful would it be to be considered toadlike, though?

I always thought Wendy Peters who plays Cillia in corrie would be good cos she is evil to little Chesney (bless him)   but yeah Imelda looks okay,I dont think Ive seen anything she has been in like but Im going to treat this as a rumour for now. -Helen

Well, that she might do a good job.  But isn't Umbridge supposed to look like a great fat toad?    And, b-lo-o-d-y h-e-l-l, Staunton is a stick!!!!

I almost hope she does get the role now...she looks great for the part! I totally agree. I could really see her as Umbridge. | |

I was looking at more pictures of her and now I really hope it is true. I can already see the black ribbon resting on her hair...
It is also notable that Imelda stands at an even 5 feet. Perfect? In this news mod and fan fiction writer's opinion, yes.

With that smile, seriously, I can picture the bow, the false sweet voice and girlish giggly (irritating) laugh, I think she'd be great!

I don't think I would like her to play Umbridge. Because I knew her personally, I mean I work at the Ministry, I've seen her around and talked to her before, and that women does not fit her at all.

I think she would be really good as Umbridge. She could really do the part well...well look wise anyway if they did her hair and makeup right and all. Although this is just a rumour, so it might not be definite. Still if it is her, that's great.
