Ever notice that you never saw Dolores Umbridge and Margaret Thatcher in the same place?

Doesn't this explain a lot?

1. Hmmm, both tools of the hierarchy

Both British accented, cruel to the powerless, bobbed, lip-pursers? You might have something here. Though Umbridge preferred pink and Thatcher blue.

2. Was Thatcher Umbridge's muggle disguise?

Given what she thinks about muggles, it explains Thatchers policies!

6. We went on a Ghost Walk, Pub Crawl while in London a few years back

Loads of fun, literary history and beer. I asked our guide if we would go by the Theosophical Society. He became visibly uneasy, and I think I actually saw his eyes dart from side to side. As I said, you may have something.

3. "I. . .will. . .have. . .order!"

But please, don't lump Imelda Staunton in the same category at Thatcher.

Staunton only did this as an actress. Thatcher was all too real.

4. Given the loathing that people have for the character Dolores Umbridge, just from the movies,

I'd say that Imelda Staunton did an incredible job portraying her!

Thumbs up to a talented actress!

5. I agree...Imelda is brilliant...nt

7. I have no idea how she didn't get nominated for an Oscar.

She did a better Umbridge than even the book portrayed.
