| | |  Imelda Staunton thought it was "fun torturing Harry Potter"
In a new interview, Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge) reveals that she enjoyed playing Umbridge, also admitting that her popularity has increased with her 12-year-old child since appearing in the new Harry Potter film. Quote:
"We had a lot of fun creating this sort of little round person, who's not very nice," she says. "I didn't want her to have any hard edges. I thought it was important for her to appear soft and warm because, of course, she is neither." One of the film's creepiest scenes involves her torturing Harry, whom she forces to write lines which appear etched in blood on the back of his hand.
"She was really was great fun to play," said Staunton, talking at Claridge's during her promotional rounds for the film. "I loved doing it and I love talking about it."

She is so UMBRIDGEish in the movie "FREEDOM WRITERS" with Hilary Swank. She was brilliant in that movie.

Hopefully this will work well in the movie. However, she doesn't look like how I imagined Umbridge.

I LOVE DOLORES!
Ya, we're pretty much best friends. Dolores Umbridge and I. Ya, we're tight.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

I agree, I thought she'd be more gaunt and scarier looking, but I think it will work in the movie because like Staunton said, she looks what she isn't and that will help with the 'predictability' element.
I've pre-booked my cinema tickets, so I'm really looking forward to watching this movie.
