1st, I feel like you are the 1st/only reactor to recognize Percy working at the ministry in this movie, most people even recognize him in the 1st 4 movies so they definitely dont in the 5th one. Also, I feel like Umbridge should have been fired and prosecuted, but instead she just got a paid administrative leave.

Just some tidbits and trivia you might be interested in. Sorry this is so long. You don't have to read it if you don't want to. In the movie, Delores Umbridge, at Harry's hearing, says that it seems as if Harry and Dumbledore are implying that the ministry ordered the attack. In the book, we find out that Umbridge, who works for the ministry, actually sent the Dementors after Harry. "Excuse me? Did you just interrupt Professor--THE Professor--Dumbledore?" That made me laugh so hard. There are a lot of fans who hate Umbridge even more than Voldemort. She's deplorable, but I love her as a villain, and I agree, the actress who played her did a fantastic job. It's well established within the books that if a wizard uses a wand that is not meant for them, it won't work as well. At some point in the books, we find out that Neville's wand isn't his. It's his grandmother's. That's part of the reason it doesn't work as well as it should and why he has so much trouble with spells. I saw in an interview somewhere something about that moment that happened after Harry kissed Cho. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are talking after, Hermione is talking about all the things Cho must be feeling. You may have missed Ron's line after that, and what Hermione said in reply. Ron: One person couldn't feel all that. They'd explode. Hermione: Just because you've got the emotional range of a tea spon..." Then they all start laughing. According to the interview I saw, Rupert Grint cracked up for real, and then so did the others. It felt so natural that the director left it in the film. If you watch the scene with Serius and Harry before they go back to school, but watch it again knowing he dies, the scene has the feel of a goodbye speech, like he's saying his last words. At the end of the scene, Serius closes the door to the room. When you know, that becomes rather symbolic, like he's unknowingly seeing the room for the last time and closing the door on his life. I understand what you mean about agreeing with Umbridge near the start when she separates students who are necking in the halls, but the thing is, that's the start of something more sinister, which we see later when she says the at boys and girls are not permitted to be within eight inches of each other. And I know that seemed silly if you take it literally, but she meant it in reference to public affection. And if you read deeper into it, it you can tell that the reason behind it is to eliminate yet another way for students to pass on secret information or conspire. If students can't get close or have whispered conversations, it makes it harder to pass on secret information. Ohh, Wheel of Time! Nice to hear from another WOT fan. I love that series. In the scene at the Department of Mysteries when Serius dies, the Death Eaters appear and grab the kids, each Death Eater holding one of Harry's friends. Belatrix Lestrange is the one who grabbed Neville. In an interview I saw with Helena Bonham Carter (Belatrix), she said that when she jabbed the wand at Matthew Lewis's (Neville's) head, she accidentally poked him in the ear. He confirmed that she jabbed him so hard that she ruptured his eardrum. If I recall correctly, he didn't tell anyone on set, just kept working, and she only found out about his injury much later. "No, I fucking loved Serius!" You are not alone. I remember that when the book came out, videos went up all over the world of children sobbing about Serius's death. The weird thing is, by the time people would have seen it, a lot of the world already knew. Unfortunately, someone spoiled it, spreading it around that he dies, so that a lot of first time readers knew it was coming. Including me. It's wierd, because even though I knew, it still gutted me. I still cried when I read it. I'm glad it wasn't spoiled for you. I loved this reaction. I'm not sure if it's because I had the giggles, or because you're just really funny, but I spent the entire time laughing my head off. Your continual frustration over Umbridge was wonderful.
