Both for loyal readers or those who enjoy Harry Potter through films without reading the books at all, there are some villains or antagonistic characters that may be more hated than other characters. Starting from Uncle Vernon Dursley, Dudley, Aunt Petunia, Draco Malfoy to the main antagonist, Tom Marvolo Riddle or Lord Voldemort, where the characters I just mentioned are always appearing in every novel by the author, the genius JK Rowling, from Philosophers’ Stone to Deathly Hallows. However, I think every one of the Harry Potter fans agrees that the new antagonist character who took an important role in Book 5 or his 5th film in Book 5 or his 5th film named Dolores Jane Umbridge is the most hated by all. fans compared to all the other evil characters when tackled one by one, including Lord Voldemort.

1. Master Killer Hell

I first met Harry Potter in 2001, so I grew up with the Harry Potter stories since my school days, where when the Harry Potter books were published, Harry followed my age as admin Behind the Camera.

For schoolchildren who are always immersed in homework, assignments, and exams, Harry Potter is a world of escape. And for school children, there must be such a thing as a killer teacher. The one who likes to get angry is not clear. Scaring the students. And I really like giving bad grades. Even teachers like this usually traumatize some children. JK Rowling was smart to include a teacher who was more killer than Severus Snape and always sided with Slytherin. And it’s not like I want to corner the girls in my video, but usually, the killer girl teacher is more terrible than the killer male teacher. Because usually the figure of a very talkative mom who is immediately inspired by the killer girl teacher. And that’s Dolores Jane Umbridge.

2. Bullying

Sane schoolchildren, sane human beings certainly hate bullying. From the first Harry Potter novels, we have shown the character Draco who likes to bully Harry Potter and his friends who are not pureblood, or Weasley who is a traitor.

For fans, Prof. Trelawney is super weird, and super-duper nerd, is funny, and good at fortune-telling. And although the character Trelawney was very well played by Emma Thomson, I think Trelawney’s character in the book is much funnier. And it usually makes fans laugh out loud, especially when it’s related to Weasley or his predictions that seem stupid and don’t make sense.

When Umbridge arbitrarily bullied and kicked Trelawney out, there were times that we as Harry Potter fans hated this crazy girl to the heart of it.

3. Umbridge & Her Stupid Edict

Umbridge is a Ministry ass lick. His ambition was to rule Hogwarts, forbidding any joyful activity. Dating, running in the corridors of the school, laughing, a little bit bad to even the most enjoyable lesson, namely the Eradication of the Dark Arts.

Decree after the edict was issued by Umbridge, making her possibly suitable to be Mr. Filch. Or Aunt Marge Dursley’s twin sister. His satisfaction is to make children miserable. His satisfaction is to make children suffer. Even when he tried to get rid of Dumbledore, his political play showed how ambitious he was to be in the No.1 seat of Hogwarts, or even the Ministry.

As Peter Baelish from Game of Thrones said, Chaos is A Ladder. Chaos is a ladder. And Umbridge made her own ladder, leading to the top of power. But, like Peter Baelish, he too fell downstairs that were too high for him to climb.

4. Voldemort is Preferred

Perhaps Voldemort tolerated children better than Umbridge. Voldemort even has followers. Loyal followers. Friend. For those who are loyal. Even so, it’s feared. But Umbridge, like, hates adults, not only children.

Voldemort is like Dutch colonialism. Long, durable, just coming out. Whereas Umbridge, like during the Japanese colonial period, was brief, cruel but annoying.

Although Umbridge also appears in Deathly Hallows, because she accidentally wears a necklace bought from Mundugus Fletcher which turns out to be a Slytherin pendant and is one of the Horcruxes, and ends up being knocked out by Harry Potter.

Where the S on the necklace was composed by Umbridge is short for the name Selwyn, the pure surname of her witch.

5. Responsible in Sending the Dementors to Little Whinging

Harry Potter’s confession at the end of the Triwizard Tournament regarding Lord Voldemort’s return, infuriated many wizards, especially in the Ministry, where Umbridge worked. Before being assigned by the Ministry to be a spy at Hogwarts, Umbridge was in charge of sending the Dementors to Little Whinging, where the two Dementors attacked Harry Potter and Dudley. Even though in his novel, this is not done implicitly, JK Rowling seems to suggest that Umbridge is the one responsible for this action, in hopes of expelling Harry Potter before he is assigned to the ministry as a teacher at Hogwarts.

Humans like Umbridge certainly exist in the real world, where she will try to get rid of her obstacles to power.

5. The End of Umbridge

I would rather compare Umbridge’s end when she came to power at Hogwarts. Because for fans, of course, they are very aware when Hermione tricked Umbridge into entering the forbidden forest, and this reveals Umbridge’s true feelings that she doesn’t like children, and loves cat photos and her pink outfit more.

The end of Voldemort and Umbridge would have been guessed by loyal readers and viewers alike, however, the end of Umbridge being dragged away by the centaurs in the forbidden forest, and going half-crazy, was far more satisfying than Lord Voldemort’s destruction.

For fans who don’t know the true end of Umbridge, after the Second Wizarding War, Dolores Umbridge is sentenced to life and rot in Azkaban prison forever, for her crimes against muggle-born witches, when in fact, she is half-blooded. Just like Lord Voldemort.

So, do you agree, that Umbridge is the antagonist we hate the most in the entire Harry Potter saga? Please, let me know in the comment section.
