Hermione challenges Umbridge about her teaching methods

PAGES: 241-243

As Dolores Umbridge's lesson progresses, Hermione grows increasingly frustrated with the lack of practical instruction. She raises her hand to challenge Umbridge's course aims, pointing out that there is no mention of practicing defensive spells. Umbridge dismisses her concerns, claiming that a theoretical understanding is sufficient. This exchange leads to further tension as Harry, Ron, and others join the argument, questioning the value of theory without practice.
