	Dolores Umbridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dolores Jane Umbridge is a fictional character from the Harry Potter series of novels by J.K. Rowling.
		Dolores is a widely used name in Spain, related to the Virgen de los Dolores (a Catholic religious icon.) The pronunciation of the name Umbridge closely resembles that of umbrage, a word meaning resentment or pique at an often imagined insult.
		After her recovery in the hospital wing, Umbridge attempted to sneak out of Hogwarts but was met by Peeves, who chased her away from the castle grounds with a walking stick and a sock full of chalk, while the staff and students looked on.

	Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		Umbridge attempts to throw Trelawney out, but Dumbledore allows her to stay at the castle; in her place, a centaur named Firenze, whom Harry met in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, becomes the new teacher.
		They entice Umbridge into the woods, knowing that the centaurs, very angry that one of their brethren now works for humans, are disposed to hate adult wizards.
		The centaurs break Umbridge's wand, take her away, and are about to do the same to Harry and Hermione, when Hagrid's half-brother--a "small" giant named Grawp, whom Hagrid had brought back with him from his quest over the summer--appears and distracts the centaurs.

	Dumbledore's Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In her Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, Hogwarts professor and High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge decided to teach only theory because her boss, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, feared that Albus Dumbledore was preparing to mobilize an army of students against the wizard government.
		The name was chosen to ridicule Umbridge's aforementioned political motivations and to play a trick on the Ministry of Magic.
		In the end, Cho Chang's friend Marietta Edgecombe betrayed the group to Umbridge, resulting in the appearance of multiple blemishes in the shape of the word "sneak" on her face due to the charm that Hermione Granger had placed upon the parchment signed by the D.A. members.

	Nasubionna's Harry Potter Tribute
		Umbridge was placed by the ministry to undermine the student's abilities, as Fudge was paranoid that Dumbledore would use them to overthrow the ministry, specifically, himself.
		She used frightening methods during detention that clearly qualify as child abuse, and is openly hostile towards half-breeds (she attacks and expels Hagrid from the school for this reason).
		Umbridge took pains to win over Filch, granting him permission to use a horsewhip on misbehaving students, and put various teachers on probation.

	MuggleNet \| Character Biographies
		Special Abilities: Umbridge was appointed to the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at the beginning of the 1995-1996 school year, but she did not seem to possess any great talent for the subject.
		Ironically, it was Dumbledore himself who rescued Umbridge from the centaurs and she was last seen scurrying away from the school looking rather sorry for herself as Peeves followed overhead, "whacking her alternately with a walking stick and a sock full of chalk" (OotP, pg.
		Amazingly, Umbridge was not ousted from the Ministry of Magic when Cornelius Fudge was removed from his position as minister during the summer of 1996.

	Dolores Umbridge (In-Depth Analysis)
		Dolores Umbridge introduces a seemingly endless string of problems to the students at Hogwarts.
		Fudge forces Dumbledore to appoint Umbridge as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and from her first moment at the school, when she interrupts Dumbledore’s welcome speech to give a long, tedious lecture about her role at Hogwarts, she is massively disliked by both students and faculty.
		Umbridge takes much offense at Harry and even more at the way Hogwarts is being run: besides forcing Dumbledore’s resignation, she fires Professor Trelawney and Hagrid and clashes frequently with Professors McGonagall and Snape.

	MuggleNet \| Dolores Umbridge's Evil Evaluation - An editorial by Crispin.
		Dolores Umbridge, then, is seemingly the ultimate mix of these two villains: sickening, fake, manipulative and very capable of inflicting torture.
		She is like a girl who was in my second grade class: always giving our deaf old bat of a teacher a neck massage during story time, but pinching you at the drop of the hat to get to the front of the tuckshop line.
		As traditionally evil as Ol' Voldie is (or MC DLo, as he is known as on the R&B circuit), Umbridge seems to elicit an intensely strong hatred from just about everyone in the series, even though she's apparently on the side of 'good'.

	Skin Deep (Harry Potter; PG-13)
		Dolores Umbridge had been a Hufflepuff in her days at Hogwarts, but she rarely gives it any thought now in her pink, fuzzy office where she focuses on the task at hand.
		Dolores Umbridge, standing in the doorway of the classroom, made her presence known before advancing on the four students.
		He didn’t know just what Umbridge had overheard or what she meant to do, but he had that sickening, sinking feeling of being trapped in just the situation one had most earnestly intended to avoid.

	Book 5
		Umbridge's hand was still making snatching move-ments amongst the flames, as though she knew exactly where Sirius's hair had been moments before and was determined to seize it.
		Dolores Umbridge was standing in the doorway wrapped in a green tweed cloak that greatly enhanced her resemblance to a giant toad, and was smiling in the horrible, sickly, ominous way that Harry had come to asso-ciate with imminent misery.
		Umbridge is already livid that you lot disappeared right under her nose, even though Dumbledore told her Mr Weasley was in St Mungo's and he'd given you all per-mission to visit.

	Dumbledore's Army - Harry Potter Wiki

	Accio 2005 - UK Harry Potter Conference - Abstracts
		Bellatrix, Umbridge and Rita Skeeter are examined in terms of their inclusion and subsequent distortion of the mothering characteristics displayed by the more conventional female figures of Molly Weasley, Professor McGonagall and Petunia Dursley.
		The paper examines the qualities shared by the 'good' female characters, such as their treatment of children, their reactions to people they consider subversive and the extent they will go to protect their loved ones, and how these are altered by the 'bad' women.
		Umbridge and Bellatrix are willing to hurt children physically, and their cruelty highlights their fanaticism as they believe they are doing it to protect their leaders - the 'evil' equivalent of loved ones.

	The future of Dolores Umbridge - Page 3 - Chamber of Secrets
		Umbridge is a horrible woman, i can't stand it when she makes Harry write lines.
		I hope JKR's attention to Umbridge's lack of magical skills is some indication of her downfall in the last book.
		Given JKR's sense of humor, Umbridge will likely get into some kind of trouble, and Harry will be the one to help her out of it-that would be pretty funny.

	Dolores Umbridge :: Harry Potter Forum at Broomsticks And Owls
		She was so tight with all the Slytherins (probably because they're as prejudiced and as ignorant as she is), and the things she did to students and professors alike was appalling.
		However, With D. Umbridge, she was just so cruel and un-human like, there was no way I could relate to her.
		The insane part is that Fudge and Umbridge and all them made this huge to-do about Harry flagrantly using powerful magic in front of a muggle, but she (Umbridge) nearly had the soul sucked out of a muggle AND an innocent wizard besides!

		Permission to re-form may be sought from the Ministry of Magic with final approval from the Minister of Magic (Dolores Jane Umbridge).
		Well thankfully Dolores as your Ministry no longer controls this school and i am a temporary staff member here with the same rights as you, i do not have to explain myself to you.
		Well Miss Umbridge the good news is that i am not going to undertaking the role of Quidditch Master until the start of next year in September so the good news is that i am not yet a memeber of staff and there is nothing to worry about.

		I mean i see Umbridge as well kind of 45 i suppose, not that young, but not that old either.
		Umbridge has to be short, squat, almost as neckless as Vernon Durseley, flabby, wide-mouthed, with bulging eyes, a face "like a toad".

	Staunton Is Umbridge In "Potter" (October 20th 2005)
		After a few weeks of rumours, HP Page reports that Oscar nominated actress Imelda Staunton finally confirmed on ITV's "This Morning" program that she will have the part of Professor Dolores Umbridge in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the fifth film in the series which begins shooting early next year.
		Umbridge is the fifth book's major new character and has been dubbed the most 'hated character' in the series as she essentially acts like an evil dictator - rising in power week by week whilst installing an increasingly oppressive regime of control over the students and teachers at Hogwarts.
		Much of the book is devoted to detailling her cruel treatment of others and the various Hogwarts residents attempts to secretly rebel.

	[No title]
		Dolores always was a slippery, manipulative, two-faced, annoying little toad.
		During that day when the other professors met with Harry's relatives to discuss bringing allegations against Umbridge, Snape was amazed at the Dursley's behavior, in spite of their mixed fear and hatred of all things magical, including having five of Potter's professors in their house.
		He tried hearing through the grapevine for what her classes were like, but he quickly gave up after hearing the more seemingly outrageous rumors (like having objects which could conjure up pumpkins and tomatoes or appear over people's heads to fall on them); gossip was never easy to follow, especially at Hogwarts.
