Hilarious Dolores Umbridge memes take over the internet as Imelda Staunton's first look as Queen Elizabeth in The Crown goes viral 

On July 30th, Netflix released the “Season 5 first look” of Imelda Staunton (of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” fame) as the Queen. "The Crown" has replaced their cast after two seasons to portray Queen Elizabeth II’s life as the monarch of the United Kingdom.

In the first two seasons Queen Elizabeth was played by Claire Foy and by Olivia Colman in Season 3 and Season 4. Imelda Staunton will be the third iteration of Queen Elizabeth, who is expected to be in her mid to late 60s during the series.

Here’s how fans reacted to Imelda Staunton’s first look as Queen Elizabeth II in “The Crown”:

Imelda Staunton's claim to fame is her brilliant performance as the loathed “Dolores Umbridge” in Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix. Staunton’s portrayal led to Umbridge being undoubtedly the most hated character in the series.

Due to this, Imelda's first look as the Queen spawned several memes and tweets in relation to her role as Dolores.
