What Dolores Umbridge’s Name Was Really Foreshadowing in Harry Potter

The Wizarding World was littered with villains, from Voldemort and his loyal Death Eaters to corrupt Ministry officials. Though Voldemort is Harry Potter's ultimate big bad and characters like Bellatrix Lestrange are exceptionally violent, Dolores Umbridge is often considered far more cruel, petty, and destructive than anyone else who threatens the world that Harry Potter knows. Introduced in The Order of the Phoenix, Umbridge joins as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and later Headmistress of Hogwarts, as part of the Ministry of Magic's intrusion into the magical school.
