I don't know very much about this actress. You'd have to be a real witch (pardon the pun) to play Umbridge!

She needs to be fatter, meaner and bittersweet. If she does gets the part, fillions of fans will hate her.

I think she'll do a marvelous job, though I did picture Umbridge to be....er... heavier. Oh well.

Uh... isn't she a bit too young?... I mean, comparing to the the other teachers.... - Other than that, it might work...--she is talented and they have good make-up artists...

Well, she sure doesn't look like what is described in the book. I think the folks at Warner Brother have lost touch with reality.

Okay...I hope this is just a rumor....She doesn't look anything like I imagined Umbridge, even if you think with special effects.

MMM, completely not what I expected. I mean i thought they would cast someone... well... not pretty. And she's not bad looking. I guess makeup can change that. She's still not what I expected.

She doesn't look like I imagined her to. To me Umbridge looks more stircter, but at lest Warner Bros. found someone to portray the part.

at first I didnt think she was right for the part. Thought she didnt have the look. Then I did a search for her pics on google and in a few of them she really has the look of that evil little witch.

Well I have never heard of her but I am sure that she will make a great Unbridge. I will wait for an official word from WB first.

She isn't quite what I imagined but I think it will work fine if she is cast. Umbridge is so foul yet I'm really looking forward to her parts in the OoTP movie!

I did a background check, like most of the Harry Potter fanatic's do! And I guess she's okay! She does look like a toad though! So I guess her apperance does fit the part!

She's not exactly what I pictured but she would work. Whoever they get she's got to look sickly sweet but have a rancid attitude.

I think that she looks like the Umbridge that I imagined to be, she seems ok for the movie, but I don't remember ever seen her before.
