Product Information

Umbridge" is a pun on the English "umbrage" meaning "offence" or "insult", indicates that Dolores Umbridge is destined to do only harm and cause only unhappiness. It also symbolises how she is offended by any challenge to her limited world-view and her secretive nature. "Umbrage", which came from the Middle French "ombrage" and ultimately from the Latin "umbra" is a word whose meaning has evolved over time. Originally, "Umbrage" meant "shadow" or "shade", then it evolved to refer to "that which provides shadow or shade", then took on the meaning "semblance" or "suspicion", and eventually to "the suspicion that one has been slighted" and its present meaning. Well, Dolores’s name was an accurate representation of her personality. ‘Dolores’ is taken from the Latin word ‘dolor,’ which means sorrow. While Umbridge is derived from the word “umbrage. Taking umbrage means to get offended, representing how easily she got offended by whoever dared to go against her views. It also means ‘insult,’ depicting how she was only destined to inflict harm on others. Do you Know She was One of Two People to Leave a Scar on Harry Potter? Excellent, Draco, excellent, oh, very good — fifty points to Slytherin!" — Umbridge awarding Draco Malfoy house points for having caught Harry Potter escape a Dumbledore's Army's meeting [src] As seen throughout her time in the Harry Potter series, Dolores Umbridge carried herself with a cheery disposition while in the presence of others. But her attitude betrayed her selfish ambitions. Even worse, it revealed that she would step on anyone to get what she wanted. At Hogwarts, she was an equally ambitious student in Slytherin who desired any title of success she could obtain, from House Prefect to Head Girl. That said, as time went on, she got nothing of the sort and actually despised her time as a student. She had even earned the disdain of professors like Horace Slughorn, who saw her as foolish.

Close ▲ A costume designed by Jany Temime and worn by Imelda Staunton while playing Dolores Umbridge. Umbridge is also depicted to be a prejudiced person, despising half-breeds and Muggle-born witches and wizards to the point of firing Hagrid due to his half-giant birth status. She displayed her intolerance to the centaur Firenze, shouting racial insults towards the herd of centaurs that confronted her in the Forbidden Forest. Umbridge was a "pure-blood supremacist" and attempted to mask her half-blood status, often lambasting her Muggle mother and Squib younger brother. Umbridge: " No, not with your quill, you're going to be using a rather special one of mine. Here you are. I want you write 'I must not tell lies'." Harry Potter: " How many times?" Umbridge: " Oh, as long as it takes for the message to sink in." — Dolores Umbridge making Harry use the Blood Quill [src]This wand was destroyed during a skirmish in the Forbidden Forest in 1996, when it was snapped cleanly in half by a Centaur's hoof, while Umbridge was carried off by a herd she offended. Harry Potter tried to retrieve it right after she dropped it, but it was snapped before he could reach it. [5] Snape: relatively passive under her pointed questions about his interest in the DADA position ( OP19). Put on probation anyway when he refused to make a second batch of Veritaserum ( OP32). The story is set in the late 20th century and depicts a fictional world where the use of magic is commonplace. It is about a young 11-year-old orphan boy, Harry Potter, a Wizarding prodigy, a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and his fight against the Dark Wizard, Lord Voldemort. Centaurs dragging Dolores Umbridge away upon being called 'filthy half-breeds' and 'creatures of near-human intelligence' I have been asked a lot of times, well what about Duelling Club and so on? Well I think it's clear there that in practice, where there's no real weight attached to the transference of a wand, where it's almost all for fun or purely for competition, there's no enormous significance attached in either wizard's mind to a wand flying out of someone's hand. But there are situations in which the emotional state of wizards where a lot hangs on a duel, that's something different. That's about real power and that's about transference that will have far-reaching effects in some cases. So I think the wand would behave differently then." (TLC2)

Cedric, like the unicorn, died. Fans for years worried that Ron might be destined to die as well. Confusion about Ron's wandShe favored the Slytherin house and eventually banned Harry, George, and Fred from the Quidditch games and confiscated their brooms. She even banned the Quibbler, in which Harry’s interview was published claiming that Voldemort had returned. Dolores’s time at Hogwarts was filled with sanctions and punishments inflicted upon students who dared to go against her. The Headmistress Of Hogwarts In the alternative reality created by Harry's son, Albus, and his friend, Scorpius Malfoy, it was found that Umbridge seemed delighted in Harry's death in May 1998. The delight of it extended to the point where she wished that he did not rest in peace but in endless despair in the Voldemort controlled world. Neville's poor magic ability in his first years at Hogwarts may be in part because of the fact that he was using someone else's wand, not one which had specifically chosen him. Dolores hated and feared the half-breed/semi-humans like werewolves and Centaurs for an unknown reason. So, she treated them harshly and even drafted anti-werewolf legislation in 1993 to stop them from getting jobs. She even called Firenze, a Centaur, and a teacher appointed by Dumbledore, a “filthy half-breed.” Discrediting Harry And Dumbledore After Voldemort appeared in the Ministry of Magic and was seen by a number of people, including Cornelius Fudge, Dumbledore was restored as the Headmaster and Umbridge was suspended following allegations of abuse. Umbridge, who had been recovering in the school's hospital wing, attempted to sneak out of the castle on the second-to-last day of term during the evening meal. But fate had her run right into Peeves the poltergeist, who took advantage of his final opportunity to fulfil the request of Fred and George and chased her gleefully from the premises. [10]

Judge Karen and Guest Tim on Episode 3 of the Mugglenet Academia podcast proclaimed that Professor Umbridge would have been tried in US courts if she had violated student rights in a US institution to the extent that she did at Hogwarts in Harry Potter's fifth year. They noted that she violated the students' right to free speech, right to association, among other things. In seriousness, they mentioned the applicability of this fictional case to understanding important US precedents such as Tinker v. Des Moines. --Hufflepuffskein Flood, Alison (31 October 2014).

Partly in response to this failure of her plans, she conspired with Fudge to find a way to control both the boy and the Headmaster: taking advantage of his increasing paranoia, she convinced Fudge that she was "one of the few he could trust" (Pm), and so managed to install herself at the centre of the Ministry. The Minister assigned her to the job of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher when Dumbledore was unable to find someone to fill the post ( OP11). Umbridge: " Now ... how long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?" Snape: " Fourteen years." Umbridge: " You applied first for the Defence Against the Dark Arts post, I believe?" Snape: " Yes."
