I just watched Sense and Sensibility (again - for the umpteenth time!) with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. I absolutely love it. But, despite all the times I’ve watched it I learned something new. As I watched Mr. and Mrs. Palmer played by Hugh Laurie  and Imelda Straunton, I suddenly realized who they were ( or who they had become)  - Dr. Gregory House from the House TV series and Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. How could I have missed that??? They are wonderful in all their roles.
