6 quotes Dolores Umbridge Dolores Umbridge [As she is carried into the forest by the centaurs]
I am Senior Undersecretary Dolores Jane Umbridge. Put me down!
Dolores Umbridge Things here at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared. Cornelius will want to take immediate action.
Dolores Umbridge I'll make short work of this. [aims her wand at the wall] Bombarda Maxima. [blasts the wall down, creating a huge explosion which she, Filch, and the Slytherin students that are part of her Inquisitorial Squad caught the members of Dumbledore's Army as Malfoy drags Cho in] Get them.
Dolores Umbridge [to Harry]
As I told you once before, Mr. Potter, naughty children deserve to be punished. I'm pleased with your work today, but not with your behavior tonight.
Dolores Umbridge [the Centaurs are dragging her away]
What are you doing?! I am Senior Undersecretary Dolores Jane Umbridge! LET ME GO!!!
Scenes with Dolores Umbridge
14 scenesPlease describe the attack. What did they look like?
Mrs Figg Well one of them was very large, and the other rather skinny.
Not the boys, the Dementors.
Mrs Figg Alright, right, well um, big. Cloaked. Then everything went cold, as though all the happiness had gone from the world.
Now look here, Dementors don't just wander into a muggle suburb and happen across a wizard, the odds are astronomical.
Dumbledore
I don't think anyone would believe the Dementors were there by coincidence, Minister.
Umbridge Ahem. I'm sure I must have misunderstood you, Professor. Dementors are after all under the control of the Ministry of Magic. So silly of me but it sounded, for a moment, as though you were suggesting that the Ministry had ordered the attack on this boy.
Dumbldore
That would be disturbing indeed, madame Under-Secretary, which is why I'm sure the Ministry will be mounting a full-scale inquiry into why the two Dementors were so far away from Azkaban and why they mounted an attack without authorization. Of course, there is someone who might be behind the attack.
Umbridge Thank you, Headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me [No one smiles]. I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends.
Fred and George
[sarcastically]
That's likely.
Umbridge The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizard of vital importance. Although each Headmaster has brought something new to this historic school.
Umbridge [Nods to Dumbledore]
Progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be prohibited.
Ron Weasley
Illuminating? What a load of waffle!
Umbridge Your previous instruction for this subject has been disturbingly uneven. But you will be pleased to know, from now on you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic. Yes?
There's nothing in here about using defensive spells?
Umbridge Using spells? [laughs] Why I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.
We're not gonna use magic?
Umbridge You'll be learning about defensive spells, in a secure risk-free way.
Harry Well, what use is that? If we're gonna be attacked, it won't be risk-free.
Umbridge Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class. It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all is what school is all about!
And how is theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?
Umbridge There is nothing out there dear. Who would you imagine would want to attack children like yourself?
Oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort?
Umbridge No let me make this quite plain. You have been told that a certain Dark Wizard is at large once again. This...is...a ...lie!
It's not a lie, I saw him! I fought him!
Umbridge Detention, Mr. Potter!
So according to you Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord?
Umbridge Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident.
It was murder. Voldemort killed him. You must know this--
Umbridge Enough! Enough.
Umbridge Pardon me, professor, but what exactly are you insinuating?
Professor McGonnagall
I am merely requesting that when it comes to my students, you conform to the prescribed disciplinary practices.
Umbridge So silly of me but it sounds as if you're questioning my authority in my own classroom... [Takes a step up] Minerva.
Professor McGonnagall
Not at all, [Does the same] Dolores.. Merely your medieval methods.
Umbridge I am sorry dear, but to question my practices is to question the Ministry and, by extension, the Minister himself. I am a tolerant woman but the one thing I will not stand for is disloyalty.
Professor McGonnagall
[Takes a step down]
Disloyalty?
Umbridge Things at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared. Cornelius will want to take immediate action.
Umbridge You applied first for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?
...Yes.
Umbridge But you were unsuccessful?
...Obviously.
[Ron snickers just as Umbridge leaves. Snape whacks him over the head with a book]
Umbridge You will please copy the approved text four times to insure maximum pretention. There will be no need to talk.
umbridge [neville flicks out wand[Expelliarmus]
Wands away.
Umbridge I've been watching them for weeks and see, Dumbledore's army. Proof of what I've been telling you right from the beginning, Cornelius.
[To Dumbledore]
All your fear mongering about You-Know-Who never fooled us for a minute. We say your lies for what they were, a smokescreen for your bid to seize control of the Ministry.
Naturally.
No, professor! He had nothing to do with it, it was me!
Most noble of you Harry to shield me, but as it's been pointed out the parchment clearly says Dumbledore's Army, not Potter's. I instructed Harry to form this organization and I, and I alone, am responsible for its activities.
Cornelius Fudge Dispatch a owl to the Daily Prophet if we hurry we should make the morning edition. Dawlish, Shacklebolt! You will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban, to await trial for conspiracy and sedition...
Ah, I thought we might hit this little snag. You seem to be laboring under the delusion I am going to - what was the phrase? "Come quietly." i have no intention of doing so. i will of course escape.
Umbridge Enough of this! Take him!
[Dumbledore summons his phoenix Fawkes and both explode and disappear in a ball of a flame]
well You may not like him, Minister, but you can't deny--Dumbledore's got style!
Alert the Order if you can.
Are you mental? We'll go with you!
It's too dangerous.
When are you going to get it into your head! We're in this together!
Umbridge [Catching them]
That you are!
You sent for me, Headmistress?
Umbridge Snape, yes. The time has come for answers, whether they want to give them to me or not. Have you brought the Veritaserum?
I'm afraid you used up all my stores, interrogating students. The last of it on Miss Chang. Unless you wish to poison him - and I assure you I would have the greatest sympathy if you did - I cannot help you.
He's got Padfoot. He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden.
Umbridge Padfoot? What is Padfoot? Where what is hidden? What is he talking about Snape?
No idea.
Umbridge Very well. You give me no choice, Potter. As this is a matter of Ministry Security, you leave me with... no other alternative. The Cruiciatus Curse ought to loosen your tounge.
That's illegal.
Umbridge [Putting a picture of Minister Fudge face down]
What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him.
Umbridge Tell me what?
Well, if you won't tell her where it is, I will.
Umbridge Where what is?
Dumbledore's secret weapon.
Umbridge You have no business here, centaur. This is a Ministry matter.
Umbridge [A centaur takes out an arrow and places in on his bow]
Lower your weapons. I warn you! Under the law, as creatures of near-human intelligence--
Umbridge [A centaur fires an arrow]
Protego!
Umbridge [Umbridge makes a shield and the arrow falls on thr ground]
How dare you! Filthy halfbreed! Incarcerous!
[Umbridge casts a spell causing a centaur to be wrapped in a rope and fall to the ground]
Please, please stop it! Please
Umbridge Enough! I will have order!
Umbridge [Suddenly Umbridge is picked up by Grawp. The centaurs charge] [To Grawp]
You animals! Do you know who I am?!!
[To the centaurs]
It's not his fault, he doesn't understand!
[Grawp get's hit by an arrow and drops Umbridge. The centaurs pick her up.] Umbridge': Potter, do something! Tell them I mean no harm!
I'm sorry, Professor. I must not tell lies.
Trelawney [The students are watching Umbridge fire Trelawney] [in tears]
Sixteen years I've lived and taught here. Hogwarts is my home. You can't do this.
Umbridge [shows the Order of Dismissal to Trelawney with faux sympathy]
Actually, I can. [McGonagall arrives and tries to comfort Trelawney] [to McGonagall] Something you'd like to say, dear?
McGonagall Oh, there are several things I would like to say!
McGonagall [to Trelawney]
Sybil, dear, this way...
Trelawney [shakes Dumbledore's hand]
Oh, thank you! Thank you!
Umbridge Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Educational Decree #23, as enacted by the Minister...
[warningly]
You have the right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds - That power remains with the headmaster.
Umbridge For now.
[turns around and sternly addresses the watching students]
Don't you all have studying to do?
[Dumbledore wearily walks away, so do the students] [while Dumbledore ignores him]
Professor! Professor! Professor Dumbledore! Professor! Professor Dumbledore! [Harry goes to see Dumbledore has vanished (Presumably disapparated). Harry stands in the empty entrance hall.]
[The trio enter Umbridge's office preparing to use the Floo Network]
Alohomora. [unlocks the door with his wand; to Ron and Hermione] Alert the Order if you can.
Are you mental? We're going with you!
It's too dangerous.
When are you going to get it into your head? We're in this together!
Umbridge [Catching them]
That… you… are.
Umbridge [bends down to Harry, as he's tied up to a chair]
You were going to Dumbledore, weren't you?
No.
Umbridge [viciously slaps him in the face]
Liar.
You sent for me, Headmistress?
Umbridge Snape, yes. The time has come for answers, whether they want to give them to me or not. Have you brought the Veritaserum?
I'm afraid you used up all my stores, interrogating students. The last of it on Ms. Chang. Unless you wish to poison him - and I assure you I would have the greatest sympathy if you did - I cannot help you. [turns to leave]
Umbridge Padfoot? What is Padfoot? Where what is hidden? What is he talking about, Snape?
Umbridge Very well. You give me no choice, Potter. As this is a matter of Ministry Security, you leave me with... no other alternative. The Cruiciatus Curse ought to loosen your tongue.
That's illegal.
Umbridge [Putting a picture of Fudge face down]
What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him. [her pictures of kittens mewl in disapproval; prepares to curse Harry]
Tell her, Harry!
Umbridge Tell me what?
Well, if you won't tell her where it is, I will.
Umbridge Where what is?
Dumbledore's secret weapon.
