Future Casting

The only British Actress I can think of thus far to do Dolores 
Umbridge justice would be perhaps Brenda Blethyn

>   Marianne S.
 

>From what I've heard, Imelda Staunton has been cast as Dolores 
Umbridge in OotP.  She's not listed in the credits for the movie on 
IMDB (yet) but Daniel Radcliffe told an interviewer (in an online 
interview) that she'd been cast in the role.  Since the movie begins 
filming in just three months I'd be shocked if Radcliffe had been 
given the wrong information on this.  She was in the same production 
of David Copperfield that Daniel Radcliffe had done in 1999.  She 
played Mrs. Micawber.  

I don't remember which interview it was, but I know the link to it 
was on www.danielradcliffe.co.uk.  

As a side note, I still find it highly amusing that Maggie Smith had 
played Daniel Radcliffe's aunt in David Copperfield and gave him a 
bath in the movie!  LOL
