Omigod, yes...this was a completely brilliant moment. Another good
one for film, too. :-) I think that McGonagall is one of the best
masters of the gentle art of verbal self-defense around.
She's also an excellent teacher, so there's very little Umbridge
could come up with to truly complain about - not that she was really
looking for facts. :-/ But this got the point across soooooo well.
Felinia
one of McGonagall's biggest fans
and also a Maggie Smith fan, so the casting's perfect AFAIC
