A highly collectible autographed photograph dedicated to Imelda Staunton, the legendary actress who played Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter saga.

The double original silver marker autograph is particularly precious: the personal signature "Imelda Staunton" on the bottom right and the character's name "Dolores!" on the left, with the dedication "To Jim". Format 25x20 cm, Excellent condition. A rare collectible for Potterheads.

The Actress: Imelda Staunton

Dame Imelda Mary Philomena Bernadette Staunton (London, January 9, 1956) is a British actress of Irish descent, one of the most awarded performers on the contemporary English theater and film scene. Trained at the prestigious RADA in London, she has worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre, winning four Laurence Olivier Awards throughout her career, an absolute record for an actress in the history of English theater. International cinematic recognition came in 2004 with Mike Leigh's Vera Drake, a role for which she won the Volpi Cup in Venice, the BAFTA for Best Actress, and an Academy Award nomination. In 2007, she was chosen as the first and only candidate by the Harry Potter producers for the role of Dolores Umbridge, because she was considered the only one capable of truly making the character hateful, a mission accomplished in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010). Among her other films: Shakespeare in Love (1998), Maleficent (2014), Pride (2014), and Downton Abbey (2019, 2022). From 2022 to 2023, she played Queen Elizabeth II in the final seasons of The Crown.
