Talk:Dolores Umbridge (character)

High Inquisitor Box
I have removed the following:

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)


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

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).

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)

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)

I agree. The website Amazon.com actually refers to her as "a bureaucratic tyrant" in it's review of the book so I think we should include a paragraph on the political aspect of her character.

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)


 * I think that's trying to get across that Umbridge had heard other Ministry employees talking about silencing Harry but she was the one who took action by ordering the Dementors to Little Whinging. Soapy Sunshine 20:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Article title
I have moved (again) this page to Dolores Umbridge per policy (WP:NAME) and to reflect other Harry Potter character and literary character article names. While the character's full name may be Dolores Jane Umbridge, she is best known as Dolores Umbridge. Exploding Boy 23:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Elvira Umbridge
Where in the draft is her name written as "Elvira"?
 * Yeah, I don't see it either. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  03:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's in title for NO 20, Time JAN: Extended powers of E LVIRA U MBRIDGE . - Fighting Fefnir 22:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Come on, man, it's a scribble. Even if it were writ large in bold red crayon, what's the noteworthiness of it? Has JKR commented on some grand Elvira in her past that she wanted to stick it to? I've been published, and I can tell you that characters and minor points evolve all the time. It is simply cruft, and I am a CruftEater™. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  23:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
