Background

Dolores Umbridge is introduced in the 5th Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). She is a Ministry of Magic official, and is in direct contact with the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. We first see her during Harry's court case, when he performs magic to save his Muggle cousin from a pair of Dementors. She is employed as Hogwart's new "Defence against the Dark Arts" teacher. She interferes with school rules, and when Dumbledore flees from Hogwarts after an attempted Ministry capture, she is made Headmistress.

She is captured by centaurs while in the Forbidden Forest, which traumatises her.
