she thought she was Hermione. turns out she was just Malfoy.
I'm honestly confused how she could write a story where Harry Potter triumphs over he who must not be named, when he who must not be named was her hero.
It must have been really tough for her.
It's less that and more the system of prejudice itself is her hero, because she never truly challenges it, and the final state of peace at the end of the books does not require fixing its problems. Voldemort was a bad apple, nothing more (according to her I'd imagine)
Yeah the way she kind of bullies Hermione with the whole 'SPEW' thing was so off. First, Hermione had style and was a genius. I think she would know that 'SPEW' is a bad acronym.
Also, making everyone turn away from her and no one supporting her - she didn't need to really make it like that at all. Why couldnt the org have a cute name and Hermione and like Lavender Brown etc all get together to try to coordinate better working conditions for the elves. This then would later help with the plot involving the DA. It's literally a fantasy and Harry gets magical hero results all the time. It's just such a weird part of the books and negative when it really didn't serve any purpose to be negative. Except to be shitty to lady activists.
yep.
She's a Stan Shunpike- radicalized offscreen, leaving everyone else confused
She's not Malfoy, she's Umbridge.
She doesn't have quite enough of a backpfeifengesicht to be Umbridge. She's Umbridge from Wish
