[HPFGU-Movie] Re: GOF casting

[Valerie Flowe]

Now Becki,
Oh Julie, well spotted!  Wouldn't she make a wonderful Umbridge.  I
can see her now.  Too bad she is not a Brit.  What Brit would make a
good Umbridge?  I am not that familier with all the Brittish
actresses to really be able to recomemd one.
What does everyone else think?

[from Valerie]
The best recommendation I've heard is that tiny lady that's played in some
scary movies in the 80's like Poltergeist, and comedies like Pretty in Pink.
'Course she's American, but she's peculiar looking (frog-like) like I
picture Umbridge. But I believe someone also mentioned that she had passed
away. :-(
IMO Cathy Bates is too tall. I picture Umbridge as short, squatty, bustling
around Hogwarts. I hope they find someone who's able to portray the evil
insideousness of that character. AND I hope they don't dilute her/cut alot
out, in the film.
There must be some great British actress that comes to mind...?

It's almost November...counting the weeks till HP3 comes out on DVD!
