I am not yet sold on Umbridge. Maybe it's the amount of time given over to the rebellion, rather than her evilness, but she doesn't come across as scary.

Okay okay okay, so. That actress who plays Umbridge, Imelda What's-her-face, was in this movie I saw the other day, Freedom Writers, and she played this batshit school principal. It was so bizarre -- she'd do this thing where her voice was all calm and then she'd start talking faster and breathing harder and her voice would get all pitchy and her pupils would get reeeeaaallly small and BASICALLY, she was insane.

Which has convinced me that she'll do Umbridge all right, assuming the writers have done Umbridge justice, or whatever. Which, um, okay. Nevermind.

I think I love the whole LOOK AT ME thing. For a minute I thought it was our first sight of CAPSLOCK!HARRY FROM THE END OF THE BOOK, but now, yeah -- it's Occlumency.

I suck because I thought the explosions were cool. XDXDXD There's one bit where they show Harry, like, casting some spell or hitting something, and then they cut to another scene where all of the decrees shatter, and I was all WHOO! YEAH!

But HAHAHA at Harry's angry fist-on-wall-banging. *points and laughs*

*vomits all over movie!DD*

WHY is Voldemort wearing a JAMIE FOXX suit?

*pushes him in front of the Express*

*smooches you*

The crux of the situation, non? I have no worries about Staunton. I never have worries about any of the adult actors. It's just, in the book I loathed her, obviously, and I think I kind of like Staunton!Umbridge. She's sort of coming across as a bit badass. Much though I love the kissing bit (♥) don't you think book!Umbridge would have been more likely to just stand in front of the kissing people saying hem, hem until they noticed? And then you'd be all HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN STANDING THERE? And then she'd sweetly threaten you with explusion, and then make a decree banning fornication. This Umbridge has got too much style. Also, at worst I think she'd come across as a bit annoying, rather than batshit crazy. Oh well, though. We shall see.

And still, the kissing. ♥

I was just like WB do you think that we are going to think that those two scenes are connected? HMMM?

*points and laughs with you*

*hopes it will / hopes it will not be as funny as "HE WAS THEIR FRIEND!*

*cries over Dumbledore*

Oh, who are we kidding. That last scene is going to suck.

*smooches V and pushed you under the train*

By this, I mean "she'll". Obv, Umbridge should be batshit crazy.
