I generally don't comment on this list, but I dropped in and must
say some of the casting suggestions are quite amusing, but I love
this game, which is what it is really.
Anyway what about Barbara Leigh-Hunt for Umbridge? I guess she's too
old (I don't think we know *how* old Dolores is though), but I think
she has a sufficently droopy look even if she isn't the "squatest"
person. I'm thinking particulary of her in "Pride and Prejudice"
(the one with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) where she played Lady
Catherine de Bourgh--

Although here is another good picture of her as Lady Cumnor
in "Wives and Daughters"--

Who can take solace in the fact that as crazy as this idea might be
nothing could be as crazy as Hugh Grant playing Kingsley
Shacklebolt. Whoever wrote that I must say that it was a great joke!
