    Umbridge Questions the Students About Hagrid

    Pages 448-449
    Dolores Umbridge begins questioning the students about Hagrid's teaching ability, asking Pansy Parkinson if she understands Hagrid when he speaks. Pansy mocks Hagrid, likening his speech to grunting, which pleases Umbridge. She then turns to Neville Longbottom and asks about his ability to see thestrals, revealing that Neville witnessed his grandfather's death. Umbridge continues to make critical notes, implying that Hagrid's lessons frighten the students.
