[Movie] Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Film

While Order of the Phoenix wasn't my favorite Harry Potter book, Professor Umbridge still remains as one of the few characters in fictional literature that I completely and utterly DESPISE. She is just a totally reprehensible and irredeemable character that you can't help but hate.

Having said that - she doesn't look quite like how I imagined her (i.e ugly, bitter hateful old shrew of a woman in nose pinching glasses ^_^). But that frilly pink froo froo nonsense that they call an outfit is just enough to already get under my skin so we'll see....

I'm not familiar with Imelda Staunton at all but I figure that if she can channel Umbridge correctly then they'll have the perfect villianess on thier hands.

Luna Lovegood I pictured as being a bit daffier in looks also, but they NAILED my vision of (what I'm assuming) is Professor Trelawney. She looks like a straight up cuckoo bird.

Judging by that last shot - Daniel Radcliffe is looking a lot older too, which I guess kind of fits since Harry starts to show his age around book 5.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It will. Without spoiling anything for you I remember HP 5 causing a bit of an uproar when it came out due to events surrounding two of the characters and Harry's subtle personality changes (ie getting older, grumpier, and more teenagery in a sense). Plus as I'm sure you've already heard Prof. Umbridge is one of the most notorious characters in the series for having only had a major role in one book so there you go.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To be honest it's been so freaking long that I don't remember it. I'll have to go back and rewatch.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
