Imelda Staunton looks like such a nice person!
She doesn't strike me as Umbridge,
but she does strike me as a good actress,
so we'll see about that.
I hope the next money will be even greater
than the 4th movie.
I wonder.. why do the director change all the time?
V. confusing.

I'm glad to hear that Staunton is "brilliant" and I hope he means her acting and not just her. I think Umbridge is the most highly anticipated character for OotP, and she could make or break the film. Whoopee!

Well, that is great then! I'm still not sure about Staunton, because that isn't how I invisioned Umbridge, (it was more like the drawing at the beginning of the chapter), but I'm sure through Movie Magic it will all come together!

So sad Dan won't be answering his fanmail personally anymore. Happy that I wrote him before there was too much volume, and actually got a personal letter from him!
