Marianne S: 

Now that I see the name Imelda Staunton, I think she IS a perfect choice. I not
only remember her as Mrs. Palmer in Sense and Sensibility (love that you
pointed out the connection to the actors) but I also remember her in Shakespeare
In Love, and more recently Vera Drake, in which she was outstanding. I look 
forward to loving hating her in OotP. I'd still like to see Brenda Blethyn do 
some kind of role though... after seeing her in P&P, maybe she could be a Mrs.
Figg or something.
