Cool, glad that Dan thinks that she's good. He thinks Umbridge is good (?). OKay, well, that's odd. At least we have some hope that th e person playing her will do a good job.

I dont know if im going to watch the next film, all the movies seem to have squashed my imagination. Although Dan is hot, so might go just for him :)

Nice to hear from Dan again! And it's good that Yates and Staunton are doing really well, we wouldn't want this film to be messed up! I can't wait to see Imelda Staunton's portrayal of Umbridge, I bet she is fantastic, like all the other DADA actors...*cough cough*David Thewlis*cough cough*! ;)

It's great to hear that the new people on board are every bit as great as their predecessors. I'm really looking forward to David Yates' take on the series, despite the fact that the fifth is my least favourite book. Staunton should be excellent as well, given her performances in other films.
