Ooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that this rumor is true she's like exactly what I imagined. Except the fact that I thought Umbridge as a huge, "big-boneded" woman. She's a bit smaller than I thought. But I really think that she would do great. She looks familiar. I just don't remeber where I have seen her from.............. Hmmmmmmmmm

haha!!
I can't believe she was in Chicken Run!! That's really cool!!
I think she might make a good Umbrigde but she needs different hair.

Yea, ok. She DOES NOT look how I pictured Dolores Umbridge. Perhaps it's just the headshot, but there MUST be someone else...

For once, I'm hoping this is actually a rumor. It's not that I don't like her, it's just that she's definitely not who I picture Umbridge to be. To put it nicely, Staunton looks too...I don't know...sane.

Completely not what I expected but then again, makeup and special effects hasn't gotten to her yet. But its not official so maybe they'll find someone else.

They would have to use some serious make-up to make her look like the Umbridge I pictured. The shape of her face looks like it might work, though.

She looks like she could make a very good Umbridge. I don't really know her abilities as an actress, however the Harry Potter franchise has been doing a pretty good job on casting, as I'm sure a few other Muggles out there would agree...

She would be totally perfect for Umbridge. They could really make her look like Umbridge, it is weird. Anyway, it would be nice is she was cast!

She does have a mean face. From the portrait I don't see an Umbridge look but I think she'll do just fine, if she gets to be selected.

Well, just by her picture I'd say she has that sweet-yet-somehow-not look of Umbridge. They'd need to nasty her up, though. I don't hate her just by looking at her,and she's not old.
I saw her in Much Ado About Nothing, but it was a small part. Anyhow, for anyone who thinks she doesn't look the part, I have four words: Ralph Feinnes as Voldemort?

Unfortunately I haven't heard of her/ seen her movies before, and she doesn't look like how I imagine Umbridge ... but if they do cast her, then she better do a good job playing Umbridge! :p

She isnt what i expected but there is still some months to a year til we need to worry about that stuff. I do hope that they make the costume very Umbridge-like.

Wow! she's so close to what i imagined actually! she's got the perfect wide cheeks, i think the make-up department need to make her look a bit chubbier, add a double chin a few jowls and wrinkles, not so she's too much older but not nearly as good as she does now....oh and they can't forget the bow!!

But looking on pictures, she looks like mbrige! Nearly same as I picture Umbridge to be. With little make up, she would be perfect!

She looks quite a lot like the umbridge I imagined. And with a bit of make-up and smart dress, I'm sure she'll really look the part...

She doesn't really look like the Umbridge that I pictured, but if they worked to make her look like her, I'm sure she would do a great job.

I think she's too pretty to play Umbrige...but with make up you can do anything nowadays...
She looks like she would do a great job though...let's wait till WB makes it oficial.

I've never heard of her, but with the right makeup and wardrobe I think she will look like a good Umbridge. Her small squatty face is there.
