NEW INFORMATION FROM JK ROWLING

J.K. Rowling reveals tidbits of the wizarding world on the site called Pottermore. Over this summer, she covered this year's World Cup from Ginny Weasley (now Potter)'s point of view along with Rita Skeeter. In this article, she sneaked in little bits of information about our favorite witches and wizards and their current lives.

On Halloween, she produced another one of these enlightening articles. This time about Dolores Umbridge. This blog will contain a few spoilers regarding the hated Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Harry endured during his fifth year at Hogwarts.

Apparently Umbrigde, was not a pure blood witch as she would have everyone believe. Her mother was a muggle, her brother a squib (a person who should have magic abilities but does not) and her father was a wizard, however he was just a janitor for the Ministry of Magic. Dolores, as those of you who have read the series know, is a ruthless power hungry lunatic. She cut ties with her mom and brother at the mere age of fifteen, and denied any relation to her father after she made her way into the Ministry of Magic. Poor Dolores had the misfortune of leading a loveless life, because no man could stomach her unsavory personality.

As Dolores got older her obsession with little girlish things became more serious. She loved pink, frills, and kittens. This just doesn't seem to fit with her power crazed self who convinced the Minister of Magic that Dumbledore was nuts and Dolores could be trusted.

She's not a huge fan of beings who are not completely human. She hated Hagrid, is terrified of Centaurs, and is not afraid to hide her views, which got her into a lot of trouble in the end of the fifth book. Unfortunately for Umbridge, she went a little too nuts and had to leave Hogwarts to return the the Ministry.

After the rise of Lord Voldy, Dolores was in the position she was born to play. She accused and convicted Muggle borns of stealing their wands. After the fall of Lord Voldemort, Dolores herself was put on trial for causing so many innocent people so much pain,

Book vs. Movie: Prisoner of Azkaban Edition

This movie was pretty bad. The movie itself would've been good(ish) if it had just been a movie. But because it's supposed to follow the book, or at least do so closely, it sucked,

To start things off, Aunt Marge does become a large balloonish woman floating on the ceiling of the Dursley's home, but in the movie, Aunt Marge the balloon escapes and is floating all around Surrey. Granted this does add a bit of humor to the movie, but it was just annoyingly inaccurate. The Knight Bus scene in the movie was a little over done if you ask me. There is no mention of the talking severed head in the book. Once again, it made the movie a bit funnier, but it was weird. Harry's time spent in Diagon Alley wasn't really touched upon in the movie, this bummed me out a little bit because I think Diagon Alley would be an awesome place to explore.

In the book, Harry's broomstick gets destroyed by the Whomping Willow after he passes out and falls off of it during a Quidditch match. He receives a surprise in the mail after this tragedy from an unknown gift giver, it's a Firebolt, the best broomstick in the business. In the movie, Harry gets his Firebolt from Sirius at the very end of the movie, and he just knows who it's from!

At the very end of the movie/book Harry and Hermione travel back in time to save Buckbeak and Sirius and they are not supposed to interact with themselves at all, but Hermione throws rocks at them to get their attention.

These are just a few differences among many. As I warned you guys before, the differences get worse and worse as the series goes on.
