I keep seeing Umbridge looking and acting a lot like Lady Gertrude - played 
by Celia Imrie -from the BBC production of Gormahghast (which also starred 
the performers playing Madame Hooch, Uncle Vernon, and Aunt Petunia - and 
the irrepressible Jonathan Rhys-Myers who keeps getting mentioned on this 
list though we haven't yet found a character for him to play (dammit!)

Some good Imperial Toad pictures of her are here:
