Dolores Umbridge: the horrible woman who is the most cruel and hated character in the Harry Potter series. Here are 100 reasons as to why I hate Dolores Umbridge.


1) She believes in extremely harsh, severe, and cruel punishments.

2)Too much pink.

3) She's just doesn't make sense. Like, how she tells everyone to raise their hands if they want to speak, but then she ignores them.

4) She's racist. Well, she's technically "half-breed-ist", because she thinks wizards and witches are better than centaurs, werewolves, goblins, elves, etc. I hate that, because without the help of a lot of half breeds, the Hogwartians would have lost the Battle of Hogwarts.

5) She has a bad taste in fashion. She wears way too much frill and lace.

6) Her voice doesn't match her appearance. I mean... she looks like a toad with the voice of a…um… really-high-pitched-singing bird. Very weird.

7) Umbridge tried to get Dumbledore sacked. Well, if you haven't noticed, Dumbledore's still headmaster and Umbridge left Hogwarts with a fear of centaurs. I'd leave Dumbledore alone, if I were you. ;)

8) She can't recognize the truth from the lies. Or she just ignores the truth.

9) Umbridge always acts as though she knows everything, though she doesn't. Example? She didn't know that Lord Voldemort was back. And that's sort of a BIG thing to miss.

10) I hate her name. Dolores Jane Umbridge. I mean, Dolores is an okay name, and Jane sounds cool, too, and Umbridge is a last name so I can't really insult her about that, but all together the name sounds like somone who is just really prissy. Which Umbridge is.

11) She gets a job at a school and then says "I really hate kids.". WHAT THE HECK?!

12) She's abusive. If she lived in the Muggle world, she's get arrested for a child abuse case. Okay, it sounds kind of harsh saying that straight out, but I really, really, really don't like Umbridge.

13) She looks like a toad. And with the bows on her head, the students were "again reminded forcibly of a large fly perched unwisely on top of an even larger toad".

14) She thinks too much of herself. Umbridge would always be saying stuff like "As The Hogwarts High Inquisitor-" or "As Madam Undersecretary to Cornelius Fudge-" and stuff, trying to impress people. It was annoying and arrogant.

15) She was a pureblood lover. She hated Muggle-borns. I wonder how she feels now, now that Hermione helped Harry defeat the greatest Dark wizard of all time. HA! I was so glad to find out that she got sent to Azkaban after the second Wizarding War for her crimes against Muggle-borns.

16) She was like the ultimate bad guy... She was worse than Voldemort in my opinion, because she acted quickly. Like how she sent the dementors on Harry the summer before his fifth year.

17) Umbridge is just plain rude. I think you get what I mean.

18) She's a spoiled brat. Umbridge doesn't care what she does or has to do as long as she gets her way.

19) She doesn't get Hogwarts like everyone else does. Like how she interrupted Dumbledore's start of the year speech. It was the first time anyone had ever done that. She does't get that she can't interrupt Dumbledore, she just CAN'T.

20) She can't even teach right. What teacher just sits down at her desk and just makes the kids read, throughout the whole entire class, every single day, throughout the whole school year?! Not cool.

21) She can't do anything herself. She made the other Ministry workers, or the Inquisitorial Squad do it for her.

22) Umbridge is, like, backwards. She wants to fire Hagrid but keep Filch! Something is wrong with that picture!

23) Umbridge bribes people. She bribed Filch to do things for her by saying that she would give him approval for whipping and an expulsion for Peeves.

24) Another reason I hate Umbridge is because she represents a villain we all have in our own lives. I mean, don't we all feel frustration about someone who is trying to control our lives?

25) I hate that Umbridge never really got called out for all the horrible things she did.

26) She didn't like McGonagall. Well, that's an understatement. They were enemies. And anyone who is McGonagall's enemy is my enemy too.

27) Well, this one's kind of an obvious one: she was simply one of the 'bad guys'. We are SUPPOSED to hate her.

28) She interfered too much- with the Hogwarts rules, with Dumbledore's duties as headmaster, etc.

29) She ran the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. She could've gotten Hermione and other Muggle-borns in Azkaban or taken their wands away. Imagine Hermione without a wand to help with the horcrux hunt. Harry wouldn't have been able to defeat Voldemort.

30) Umbridge was a Slytherin. Nothing against Slytherin (they are my favorite house) but the people in Slytherin are generally considered as villains.

31) "... she drafted a bit of anti-werewolf legislation two years ago that makes it almost impossible for him to get a job." Poor Lupin :(

32) Umbridge had tried to stop Dumbledore's Army. Uhn-uh. No one messes with the D. A.

33) She was quite stubborn. All the facts pointed to the fact that Voldemort was back, but she just ignored them.

34) She had Harry write, "I must not tell lies." HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY'RE LIES?

35) She insulted Harry by saying that the only reason he said Voldemort was back was because he wanted attention for himself.

36) She used her position as High Inquisitor as an excuse to harass, intimidate, and fire the teachers.

37) Umbridge was also just plain unfair. She let the Slytherin Quidditch team get back together but not Gryffindor's Quidditch team. That just ain't right.

38) Another example of Umbridge being unfair: she banned Harry from further Hogsmeade trips... For doing a stinking interview! WTF?!

39) Umbridge banned the Quibbler to be read. First of all, that was a stupid move, because, as Hermione said, that would only cause more kids to read it. And second of all, Harry is finally speaking out publicly and she is trying to shut him down. Once again: NOT COOL.

40) Umbridge replaced Dumbledore as Head of Hogwarts. No. Just no.

41) Oh my God, this is a big one- that "hem, hem" thing she did? SO FREAKING ANNOYING!

42) Dude, she nearly killed Hagrid with the Stunning Spells she had shot at him.

43) It was cowardly for her to try to attack Hagrid in the middle of the night.

44) Umbridge seriously injured McGonagall when McGonagall tried to help Hagrid fight against Umbridge and some other Ministry officials. McGonagall even had to go to the hospital, for crying out loud.

45) She tried to prevent Harry from contacting the only father figure he had at that time, his godfather, Sirius.

46) She injured Hedwig while intercepting Harry's mail.

47) Umbridge wanted to use the Cruciatus Curse on Harry!!

48) She was just stupid. Like, who would call a centaur, which is an amazingly powerful creature, a "filthy half-breed" unless they wanted to get killed?

49) She took Moody's magical eye! I was like, oh no you didn't!

50) She bribed Mundungus into giving her Slytherin's locket for free.

51) Umbridge said that Slytherin's locket was a family hand-me-down from the Selwyns, thinking that it would bolster her pure-blood status.

I will miss Richard Griffiths very greatly. He was a fantastic actor and a great loss. He did an awesome job bringing Vernon Dursley to life the way he did.

Sometimes his true warmth peeked through, as in that one neat scene in the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone where he is talking about Sundays being a ‘fine day’ and asks why that is; Harry Melling’s Dudley shrugs his shoulders. Daniel’s Harry asks him if the reason was because there was no post on Sundays, and Richard momentarily dropped the Vernon persona and beamed warmly at him, replying with “Right you are, Harry”...

I am not biased in this I love them both.
Its going to be hard to compare the two greatest books and movie series ever made. Although I will try anyway!
MOVIES
1. Grossing- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows made 1.328 Billion Dollars. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King made 1.119 Billion Dollars. Potter wins this round!
2. Scenes- Harry Potter had really great scenes. Such as the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in the OotP or the Battle of Hogwarts in the DH. LotR also has great scenes such as the battle of Helms Deep, Pelennor Fields, and when Frodo throws in the ring. I think...

I was reading DH again, and I came across something rather odd. This something is the image of Grindelwald stealing the Elder Wand from Gregorovitch. That scene set my mind whirring. I just had to write down whaat was going on inside my mind. Please keep in mind that this is a major DH spoiler, as well as very convoluted. If you find yourself very confused after reading this, put down this article and take a nap. It'll make more sense when you wake up.
Now, on to the first Wild and Crazy Theory.

Gregorovitch had the Elder Wand, as he was trying to duplicate it for his customers, but it was later...

The Sorting had just ended, and I spotted Rose making her way across the Great Hall to the Slytherin table. "Move over, Albus, make room!" she ordered upon arrival. She squeezed in between Albus and myself, as many people stared.Rose being a Gryffindor, many were shocked that she would sit at our table. "So, how are your new students? That one girl we got, Lacey I think, is really smart. But she's kinda mean." Rose ranted. She always had something to say, and I had no idea how she managed to keep quiet in class. I informed her that at least 3 of the kids we had got were going to...

First of all, let me point out that it is by no means an attempt to justify or excuse Dark Lord’s actions, merely an attempt to understand them and his motives. It is also strongly influenced by existentialism and my slightly fatalistic mood.

Following Sartre’s “Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices” it’s easy to say that the Dark Lord “ made all the wrong choices" i.e. he could have been a Minister for Magic, an ingenious inventor or a celebrity, but chose, and therefor became, the most powerful Dark Wizard of all time. True, it is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and perhaps...

In the beginning

The starting point for each of the house crests was the Hogwarts crest, which first appeared on the title pages of the Harry Potter books, and represents all four Hogwarts houses. This original artwork and J.K. Rowling’s descriptions of the houses were used to inspire four unique house emblems for Pottermore.


The process

The artists started by talking about the best way to include the natural elements of fire, earth, water and air into each house; what the best positions and expressions for the animals would be; and the most effective way to include the house colours in the...

The last track of the CD ended. I sat straight up before I started to put away all my things as quick as I possibly could. I had been sitting there far too long. I had forgotten about the time and now I was late for dinner. I carefully closed the wardrobe before I rushed out of my room and down the stairs. Though midway down I stopped dead, and ran upwards again. I had to change clothes. Into my room again. Open the wardrobe and pull out a clean shirt, clean trousers and clean robes. I pulled off my old clothes and hurriedly put on the new ones. I pulled on my robes as I ran down the stairs...
