چکیده
Mrs. Umbridge walks through the hall of Hogwarts with a certain air about her; each of the students knows that what she says will be the !nal decision (Barron, 2007). The O.W.L.S. will be the deciding factor on how well the students do in the future and any student who does not meet the standards will not be able to partake in any form of witchcraft in the future. Students are taught a basic knowledge of what they need to know in order to survive in a world of wizardry, however the students are not taught how to use their magic in order to bring Albus Dumbledore back to Hogwarts. (Barron, 2007) Dumbledore represents the students of Hogwarts long time protector of their education system. The students know that until they can bring Dumbledore back to Hogwarts, they will be completely unable to free themselves from the mind numbing control of Mrs. Umbridge. Only Harry Potter can help free them from her complete control, with his quick wits and his creative thinking. Harry uses what he’s been taught in previous year at Hogwarts, to combine all that he knows with the strengths of everyone of his friends to defeat Mrs. Umbridge and bring Dumbledore back to Hogwarts. (Barron, 2007)
