I was watching "Sense and Sensibility" tonight and just realized who 
might be able to play Umbridge. Imelda Staunton, who plays Charlotte 
Palmer in "S&S", and also played Mrs. Micawber in the version 
of "David Copperfield" with Daniel Radcliffe. She's quite short, I 
think, with this cheerful little voice - and although she always 
plays quite pleasant characters (at least as far as I've seen), I 
think she could pull off a very worthy Umbridge. I can just see the 
pink bows in her hair and all the little kittens.

Here are some picture links:
