I'm so glad to find out this is a fairly popular suggestion!  
Something clicked into place during the Oscars last night, and I 
thought, Wow, Imelda Staunton would be great as Umbridge.  And, you 
know, she sort of fits with the group of actors that is already in 
the cast (She's worked with Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Emma 
Thompson, Zoe Wanamaker, Gemma Jones, and Dan Radcliff to name a 
few).  

I would bet on a relatively unknown actress to fill the role of 
Tonks.  Probably someone who has done some television.  

I stand by my casting of Anna Chancellor as Bellatrix, until proven 
wrong by Warner Brothers.

I also want to say that I am not surprised PoA did not take the Oscar 
for Visual Effects. Buckbeak was great, the dementors superb, but 
didja see that werewolf?  And only nominated in two categories.  I 
hope it incentivizes WB to make better movies out of this material.  
I did think it might have a chance at Best Score, and since I have 
not heard the music for Finding Neverland I can't really comment on 
whether HP was robbed or not in that category.  I did think the PoA  
score was particularly good, though.
