Dolores Umbridge Interrupts Hagrid's Class

PAGES: 446-447

During Hagrid's lesson, Dolores Umbridge arrives to conduct her inspection. Hagrid, unfamiliar with Umbridge's fake cough, believes one of thestrals made the noise. Umbridge speaks to him in a patronizing tone and notes his teaching methods. She interrupts frequently, writing disparaging remarks on her clipboard. Despite her rude behavior, Rubeus Hagrid remains determined to continue his lesson on Thestrals. Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson find the scene amusing, while Hermione grows increasingly furious.
