Imelda
Staunton Shocked to be Offered Ugly Harry Potter Role
4/9/07
Actress Imelda Staunton was stunned to be offered the role as Dolores
Umbridge in the latest Harry Potter film, because she had always thought
the character was "short" and "ugly".
Umbridge is Harry Potter's first female nemesis and will be seen in the
forthcoming blockbuster movie Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but Oscar nominated actress
Staunton wasn't amused when she was asked to do the part.
She explains, "I read the book, and Umbridge is described as a
short, ugly, toadlike woman. I thought, 'Oh, thanks very much.'"
