Omg...I just wanted to slap the living he...ck out of that woman at the end of her little tirade/speech. UGH! GO DA!


Posted by Topdogpenny May 22nd 2007

i love her!! she is perfect!! wow i soo can't wait now . . . . :D:D:D x

I hated her...In the BEST way possible! She's excellent! Her little giggle and talk of not making progress for the sake of progress, cripes! She's so irritating! I want to see this movie really bad now! :D And for once, I could actually understand what everyone said for the most part. Maybe it's just me, but when I watch a Harry Potter movie, they talk so fast and rushed I can barely make out a word (like at the end of GoF when Moody was growling at Harry about why he made it throuhg the three tasks so easily...I couldn't understand a word).

Wow. I must agree with alot of you. She is perfect for Umbridge. She really does make me feel like smacking her...but as much as that sounds like a bad thing, it really isn't. That's EXACTLY how I felt when I read anything about her. This is probably the first time in the movies that I actually felt the same feelings as when I read the books. Glad to see they're finally starting to get the movies right.


Posted by dumbledores_bredrin May 22nd 2007

its very good!! and thats almost exactly what Umbridge says in the book too, but no one pays attention 2 her in the book!!


Posted by K8y May 22nd 2007

I hate her! She is so annoying... WHICH IS PERFECT!! lol. That scene is probably the most perfect interpretation possible! Faithful to the book, satisfyingly irritating, and perfect reactions from Fred, George and the Trio. In a word, "Perfect!"


Posted by Leominor May 22nd 2007

yay...me likey!!

chills


Posted by dimples_xo May 22nd 2007

i just love when directors actually go by the book. the dialogue was almost word for word. i'm glad. you can tell the movie will be good. and this was my favorite book of the series. :)


Posted by Landman May 22nd 2007

That clip was perfect. She does Umbridge perfectly. I'm re-reading OTP to get ready for the movie now. :-)


Posted by Ellie_Snowmantle May 22nd 2007

Imelda Staunton has that irritating hatred of Umbridge down to a tee. That was brilliantly done, and now I can't wait to see it! It looks better and better every time I see more previews.


Posted by AndrewW May 22nd 2007

WILL NOT WATCH WILL NOT WATCH....so tempting....Serisously clips from the movie just ruin it. I don't think there should be any clips shown (besides trailers) before the movie is in theaters. There's a whole scene that you would already know in the middle of the movie.


Posted by lennyseberet May 22nd 2007

Ugh! Imelda Staunton is so good, it makes me GAG! I can't believe that anyone could protray umbridge so vividly! It's awesome, but terrible at the same time!


Posted by Weazley_is_MY_King May 22nd 2007

ugggh . . she's awful!! (not Imelda, i love her. I mean umbridge herself). *shudder* *cringe* :D SOOO EXCITED!!!


Posted by Willowpuff May 22nd 2007

There's no Imax 3-D screens near me. HEEEEELP!!!!!!!! !!!


Posted by SianaBlack May 22nd 2007

OMG that looks perfect! i cant wait!


Posted by Witchy_Woman May 22nd 2007

I wish I could've seen McGonagall and Snape's faces more clearly. I'm sure they were like "WTF?"


Posted by pottermom77 May 22nd 2007

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!! This summer is going to be sooo AWESOME!!!


Posted by iheartMalfoy May 22nd 2007

AHHHHH, SHE ANNOYS THE HECK OUTTA ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (IN A GOOD WAY THOUGH, OFCOURSE)


Posted by hlopez May 22nd 2007

Freaking amazing!


Posted by weasleychick92 May 22nd 2007

That was sooo cool! Imelda Stauton will truly be the perfect Umbridge. Her giggle was exactly what I imagined. So was the speech, lol.


Posted by PotionsMistress May 22nd 2007

wow, the more i see her, the more annoying she gets,...i didnt know it was possible for her to get MORE annoying! haha. i sort of saw her a bit older and shorter, but i think this will work just fine.... i think its funny that they represented her as old but putting some Alex Skolnick hair on her (and if you dont know what that means, it's black hair with one big gray bit in front) makes me smile.....they need to show more Snape stuff *nods*


Posted by to_the_stage93 May 22nd 2007

I'm trying not to watch all these video clips, because I want to be surprised when I see the movie. I feel like by the time the movie comes out, all of us are going to have seen half of it already!


Posted by dracos_star May 22nd 2007

Oh my goodness that was pure. awsome. ness!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness i'm soooooo excited! Imelda does like the BEST job anyone could have done portraying Umbridge!


Posted by sayWACKattack May 23rd 2007

she nails this.


Posted by Aussie_Witch May 23rd 2007

SHE'S EVIL!!!!!!!!


Posted by Nimue May 23rd 2007

Perfect. The actress is teeth-grindingly sweet. She's going to be perfect. I wouldn't be surprised if she pulls of the best performance of the lot, based on that performance. Word-for-word from the book and excellent delivery; dead on character.


Posted by MrsGeorgeWeasley May 23rd 2007

Oh man. I hate Umbridge. Throughout the entire clip, I was like, "SHUT UP!! I DON'T LIKE YOU!!" but, I guess that's exactly what they're looking for. :D


Posted by ohsomagical_em May 23rd 2007

aaaaah she sounds like my piano teacher.....she is totally right for Umbridge!


Posted by mrs_black May 23rd 2007

Posted by Arwen17evenstar May 23rd 2007

Ohhh she's good, I just wanna kill her. Imelda Staunton is very talented actress.


Posted by DaProngs May 23rd 2007

Sorry to disagree, but Imelda stauton is FAR too nice, too good looking, too tall and does not wear a pink cardigan!
