Re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and so far I like it much better the second time. Scary inquisitor lady (WTF is her name...Widdle? Blowpipe?) is made even scarier by being played by Dawn French in my head. (Wage? Fritter? Makin?)

Fucker's still too heavy, though. Are the UK/Canadian editions smaller?

You and I think alike. I'm so annoyed that they recast Dawn as the Fat Lady (as good as she was in PoA) because she was so totally Umbridge in my head from the first time I read it. Especially having heard her read the UK version of Coraline which is pretty damned creepy. (In other words, I know she can be EVIL too, not just the funny fat lady).

Aw, DAMMIT! I didn't know. I haven't seen POA yet.

She'd be awesome, though, with maybe some variant on that "Hallo! I'm the Easter Bunny!" voice.

Sorry to spoil that bit for you -- I didn't realise you hadn't seen it. She's brilliant in it but, damn, she'd have been the perfect Umbridge.

Donworryboutit - spoilers are rarely a concern for me. Except for that time with Roger FUCKING Ebert and The Crying Game. I hate him so much.

I normally don't care about spoilers either although I try to be good and not ruin things for other people in case they do care. Roger FUCKING Ebert spoils everything just by his existance -- I remember he was always giving away the endings and surprises to stuff in every movie review when I lived in Chicago. Big. Fat. Jerk.
