In a new interview
with the Daily Mail, Imelda Staunton confirms her return to the role of Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Another role that Staunton is to revive is that of the malicious Dolores Umbridge for the two-part film Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which is due out next year.
'Now, that is a great role,' she says with relish. 'It was wonderful playing this baddie dressed in pink, and to be able to play her again is a real treat.'

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One is set for a November 19, 2010 release (one year from today), with Part Two hitting theaters July 15, 2011.

She was really good as Umbridge actually so I assumed that she would be coming back for her role in the seventh film.

I think it's fantastic that they are bringing back Umbridge for the final film. She plays Umbridge so well, perfect for the character. Plus they need her in the movie when Harry and Hermione try to get the horcrux locket from her.

I am really pleased to see that the trend continues that the films work so hard to bring back all the old cast to play their roles. It gives the story real continuity. Still sad that Richard Harris was unable to make it all the way through.

the_girl_who_lived89: Umbridge had the locket in DH when they went into the ministry. She was in charge of judging all the muggle borns. Hope that rings a bell. :)
I'm so glad she's able to come back! I loathe Umbridge, but Imelda Stauton is fantastic. Imagining another woman playing her would just be weird.
So excited for DH! Also sad, though.

Although she played the role very well, she is just too good looking for the Umbridge that I have in my mind from the books. Imelda just isn't 'toady' enough for the part. Actually, I can't think of anyone who would fit the part without a lot of added facial parts. She has no 'jowls' to speak of, that and the hair bow is what made the character for me.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

I think that's splendid! She did a good job in OotP, so we can only assume she'll do great again! And TheOneWhoMustBeNamed , I too wish Harris had made it through. :(

She was awesome as Umbridge!
I am so glad that so many people are coming back. Then again it would be insane not to come back for the last movie

Yes, she is one of my favorite actors because she makes me cringe because she is so true to the Umbridge from the books.
