@Beastpower64 Susan Bones was only mentioned eight times in the books, we don't have any evidence of them having "quite a bit in common". We do know, however, that she was a Hufflepuff.

I like how Umbridge was never actually a Death Eater. She pretty much just told Voldemort she would help him and Voldemort didn't do anything to make her loyal to him completely. He just shrugged it off as "whatever" and let her have the power of the courts and whatnot. This proves Umbridge is extremely evil at heart than even the Dark Lord himself.

[@tysswe1]

Not more evil then voldemort. She was a horrible cunt, but she never really even tried to break the rules. She was a narcissist. Voldemort broke the rules all the times, even as a child, and put himself above the law. Killing people over small things. Umbride was evil at heart, but voldemort didnt have a heart to begin with.

[@oravlaful]

[@b-lee-ve]

Sergio Eduardo he tempered his memory and it was very noticeable where he altered his memory. Slughorn also had a reason to alter that memory since he was ashamed of it. Harry had no reason to alter that memory nor the knowledge of how to do that in the first place.

[@lordlossize]

Brian Lee here is an interesting question. snape can make a truth telling serum. if i alter my memory about something, then snape gives me the serum, will i tell the truth or will i tell what i believe is the truth?

[@b-lee-ve]

if you remember the books Slughorn altered the memory he gave Dumbledore after he extracted it than gave Harry the true memory. so it stands to reason that you would tell the actual truth since you havent altered the memory inside your head unless you got hit with a memory charm (or are an idiot and hit yourself with a memory charm like Lockhart)

Its because during the events of "Goblet of fire", the paranoia made Fudge believe that everything that happened its part of a conspiracy created by Dumbledore and that the real objective of the conspiracy was that Dumbledore will try to attack the full ministry, seize the post of Fudge as the minister in order to have full control of the ministry and to dominate the magic world.

In this situation, self-defense was neccesary as Harry and Dudley would have lost their souls. 3: No one witnessed Harry using magic.

Too bad they omitted that it was actually Umbridge who sent the dementors after Harry.

[@bighead8060]

They do hint at it in this scene when Umbridge mentions to Dumbledore about accusing the Ministry of sending the Dementors after Harry you can hear the fear in her voice as if she’s scared of being found out.

[@spiritslasher5523]

The look on Harry's face when he saw dumbledore he was like oh yeah I'm home free

[@zvarrivelociraptor]

Why didn't Harry have a defence lawyer? Are you telling me that they just had a judge (who was acting as the prosecutor, which is stupid) and the Wizengamot / Jury?

[@Vampirewolfking]

It was supposed to be a hearing, not a full trial. They changed it suddenly when Harry was already in the ministry.

[@zvarrivelociraptor]

+FrostCreed Oh yeah, that's true, but I still think it's weird that it was possible for him to be found guilty even without someone defending him. (Dumbledore doesn't count)

Not necessarily. That blonde woman was the head of the Department of Magical Law enforcement. So she had a considerable amount of influence over what happened.

Oh you mean the scene where Dumbledore makes the minster and the court his bitch? Good times.

[@samalvey8168]

I love that look Madam Bones gives Fudge at the "well-rehearsed story" bit, as well as looking him right in the eye when voting to clear Harry. She rocked, and I was very saddened to read in the next book that she was killed. Though, by all accounts, Voldemort had to go all out to kill her, she fought like hell.

[@cmurphy0707]

2:23 Watching this movie again, that one sound from Umbridge just caused me to go from zero to 100 on the rage meter quickly.

[@jamesmacgregor3911]

Kudos to Sir Michael for this performance. I do not believe Richard Harris could have performed the later instalments with such fervour and intensity. Gambon's performance is really something to behold.

[@Ihdc1]

Gambon is too intense. You should read the books. Dumbledore is described as being calm and composed in almost all circumstances, even when the people around him are losing their s**t. Even when he was clearly angry, he rarely showed it outwardly and was always courteous and polite, even to Fudge and Umbridge in Order of the Phoenix. In Goblet of Fire, when Dumbldore McGonagall, and Snape take down the fake Moody, there was emphasis of the contrast between Dumbledore's usual friendly nature versus when s**t truly gets real. To paraphrase: The look on Dumbledore's face was more terrible than [Harry] could have imagined. Harry realized at that moment for the first time why Dumbledore was regarded as the only wizard Voldemort ever feared. We don't quite see that contrast in the film because Gambondore is raging and yelling the whole time. In the books, the ONLY time we see Dumbledore losing his cool is when he drinks the emerald potion in the horcrux cave in Half Blood Prince. Even face to face with Voldemort in the ministry, book Dumbledore is as cool as a cucumber and duels Voldemort with ease. In the film, Gambondore seems much more frightened of Voldemort than Voldemort is of him (so much being the only one he ever feared) and struggles to hold his own. He clings to his wand with both hands for dear life in the film while in the book he is described as merely flicking it. Michael Gambon's resting facal expression seems to be a scowl so Gambondore looks perpetually grumpy and unpersonable. He is quite charismatic in the books. He looks almost as grumpy as Filch in films 3-5. The only films where Gambon did a good job as Dumbledore were HBP and DH part 2. In those films, he spoke more calmly and had kinder facial expressions. I don't recall Gambondore ever smiling in films 3-5. In the end, I think Richard Harris the better Dumbledore. He had a certain aura about him and matched the physical description of Dumbledore better. His calm, hoarse voice also suits the character better. Gambon improved his facial expressions in HBP but his rough Irish accent still sounds too surly for Dumbledore. On the other hand, Gambon would have made a perfect Aberforth in DH.

[@killer92173]

Some of you might be wondering, "Why does Cornelius Fudge grow a disliking to Harry all of a sudden?" well, it was more explained in the previous book The Goblet of Fire. at the end, Fudge was extremely unhappy about Harry telling Dumbledore that Voldemort is back. He refuses to believe that Voldemort is back cause Fudge read what Rita Seeker has said about Harry, and he thinks he's only saying this to get attention. it's kind of long and a little complicated, but hope it helps the unusual dislike toward Harry.

[@FallenxMalo]

That's not the complete thing. Fudge was scared like shit Dumbledore would try to usurp him. He got more paranoid over the years and with Harry aka "Mr. 404AvadaKedavraNotFound" it would have been very difficult to stay in charge as a minister.

[@killer92173]

SirMalo well, there's that too.

[@yosefdemby8792]

I'd honestly say that cutting that fight was worse than getting rid of the Quidditch World Cup! Mike Newell really fucked up The Goblet of Fire! He grouched that it was as thick as a cinder block, and that he got rid of everything superfluous in it! But then why did he unnecessarily extend the first task, even thinking of setting fire to the Forbidden Forest‽ If he cared enough about it, he would've seen that the fight was important in setting up The Order of The Phoenix!

[@ruzsellegrace1342]

[@takerapoel]

+Alexis Alonso Ya cause back then Fudge covered for him and there was a killer on the loose supposedly searching for Harry to kill him. Expelling him would result to his death, in Fudge's eyes. But in this one, Fudge thinks Harry and Dumbledore are plotting against him. Getting rid of him would be a convenience.

[@withamboy6771]

That use was accidental, this was deliberate.

[@RainSennin_ismyAlt]

I really wish they adopted the whole hearing from the book. Cornelius getting proven wrong was so satisfying to read.

[@mvodinh]

I feel bad for the witness (forgot her name). Even though she was under order of dumbledore; to watch Harry when he was growing up from afar. She had to treat harry horribly and dull. Otherwise the dusley wouldn’t let her babysit him. Naturally she wanted to show Harry the wonders of the magically world, but she couldn’t. Even squibs want to be part of that world.

[@jose_mando1293]

I can't believe it! That menacing uncouth school wrecker! ... Sorry I didn't know who sent the dementors after Harry and Dudley, I thought it was Voldemort but there was no way he could've done that. Thanks to the internet rumors here, I found out that Umbridge was the one who set this whole thing up.. She probably did it to aid Fudge for not believing that the Dark Lord is back.

[@Max1996YT]

In the books, Umbridge outright said she sent the Dementors. That bit didn't make it into the film. But yes, silencing Harry was her reason.

@@louche2388 depending but if the movie is going based on the books and the character has background, and you contradict it, then it's not really exciting. You don't often see calm, poise and shrewdness executed all at once in movie court trials, which is all the more reason why that's much better. Nothing looks so much better than stupidity being brought to light by calm, frontal reason, which is still powerful enough to show that "Yeah, that BS doesn't fly here" (ex: calm response to Umbridge).
