I saw "Order of the Phoenix" tonight...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Am I crazy, or did Dolores Umbridge resemble Pickles?

[Maddy McCall]

1. Looked just like her.

And sycophantic like Harriet Miers.

[supernova]

3. The resemblence was unmistakable

:rofl:

Imelda Staunton is a genius!

That idiotic plastic smile! :P :grr:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. She is fantastic in the role...

and if I'm not mistaken, the resemblance is deliberate. :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. Yes!

It was so satisfying when she was carried off by angry centaurs!

[Nevernose]

2. She's supposed to look like "a toad" n/t

n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. Is that the description in the book?

[Nevernose]

7. spoiler

According to the new one, she is. I don't usually remember that far back though, except for special circumstances.

[NewWaveChick1981]

9. Yes. The book had her as "toadlike."

When I read it a while back, a 350-lb. Rose Marie with a bad attitude came to mind. :P

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. Yes. And Fudge has some of W's characteristics.

Pompous, arrogant, and in complete denial. Oh, and Voldemort is very much like the Bush/Cheney love child. :rofl: Rowling apparently despises the current US admin. :patriot: :woohoo:

Yeah, she did a great job with Umbridge. :applause: And Pickles did indeed come to mind when I first saw her. :P

[blondeatlast]

10. Oh, yes. The movie was crawling with references to the Bush cabal. nt

[Debi]

11. The eyes!
