High Inquisitor Box

I have removed the following:

Preceded by None	Hogwarts High Inquisitor 1995-1996	Succeeded by None

since it seems a little pointless to have a succession box for a role created for one time only... CJHung 23:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's back with a vengeance. I'm removing it again, for the same reasons stated above. Razer 23:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

THe picture is pixalated to crap. Someone please fix it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.10.1.61 (talk) 04:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

When the 5th book came out, there were many parallels between what Umbridge said and what Gordon Brown said in respects to the purpose of education. Additionally, Oxford and Cambridge are seen as the ultimate goals of the English education system. When the names are combined, they form Oxbridge. The novel itself seems more concerned with a condmenation of government interference into Hogwarts (ie good schools) than developing a plot in its meandering course. I think it's very reasonable that Umbridge is a pun on Oxbridge with the phenome Ox changed to Um to imply stupidity and the first name Dolores (viz. Dolor-Grief) to encompass the tribulations and hardship entering such a system entails. Even though this seems blindlingly obvious to me and probably many readers who likewise live in Oxford, it probably would be considered original research. In response to the Umbridge = Shadows speculation, I think it would have spelled Umbrage.

A photo

Shouldn't we have a movie photo of her, seeing as she is a major character, even if it is only for one book/film? 82.19.59.204 23:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Power politics

It seems odd to have a whole article on D. Umbridge without mentioning politics once. After all, she is part of a governmental body, and an ambitious person with a strong hunger for power, playing authority politics with the most prestigious school of magic regardless of the effects on the students. I'd like to see this added to a decription of her character. --205.201.141.146 19:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What does this mean?

"It is later revealed that Umbridge herself had ordered Dementors to attack Harry in an attempt to silence him after several Ministry employees had mentioned but never done so. " I can't make sense of this sentence. Someone who is more familair with the books might want to rewrite it.--24.15.11.254 03:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
