    She's cool. She usually plays odd, funny characters. I loved her in Sense and Sensibility, and her character's husband, played by Hugh Laurie, lol. They were the oddest couple ever.

    Everyone likes her purely for playing Umbridge.
    It was a great role but Vera Drake was the one she won awards for.

    As soon as I saw she wanted to be Umbridge, I knew she would be great. And she really was! Just like the film.
