Several sites are reporting that actress Naomi Watts has been approached by Warner Brothers for the role of Professor Umbridge in the fifth movie.
I've come across a lot of crazy rumors in my time, but this one officially beats out "Rowan Atkinson for Voldemort" as the most laughable casting rumor I've ever heard. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Lawless | | I don't know HOW should could be Umbridge. I see a stumpy, fat woman! Older too.
But, if they can make the Beautiful, Charlize Theron, into that chick she portrayed in Monster, I guess that anything is possible.
I still can't imagine this.... | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Maja88 | | That doesn't make ANY sense. Naomi Watts=Fleur Delacour, that's more likely! | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Lawless | | I completely agree with you. I just don't understand HOW this could even be a rumor.
She isn't fitting for the part... of Dolores Umbridge, that is. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: fuscia | | It has to be a rumor. There is not enough makeup or special effects to turn her into Dolores. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: gaboman | | That's true hehehe interesting how someone would've come across that rumor though! I imagine Umbridge as being more like.... Hmm... there you go, can't even name an actor to fit...

| Posted by: Lawless | | Have you seen the movie, "Matilda" The lady who plays Trunchbull. She would be EXCELLENT to play Umbridge. 
But, she's going to play Aunt Marge. I still think that she would be much better suited as Umbridge. She's got that mean face, and can pull it off. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: gaboman | | hehehe you're right... I like the actor that played Trunchbull. If you made her like... 5 foot tall, I think she'd be perfect... | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Lawless | | That's true... she's REALLY tall, isn't she!! Well, still, she would have been good.
I think that she will be a great Aunt Marge... because, we already hate her!!! | | Reply To this Message
