I agree. There is no bright future for Delores. Given Rowling's statements in this morning's Today show interview, the Ministry gets revolutionized by Harry, Ron, and people like them. So there's no way folks like Delores keep their jobs there. And she also got quite a payback in Order. Were it not for Dumbledore's mercy, Delores would likely be dead at the hands of angry centaurs. revgeorge, welcome! I agree. There is no bright future for Delores.

Thank you, Travis, for putting out such a great site & for all your commentary. I just wanted to comment on Dolores Umbridge. Someone, perhaps not here, but elsewhere, had said they were disappointed that we don't get to see her get any comeuppance. The trio get the locket from her & that's it. Well, I can't imagine her having a bright future in the post-LV world. She is a collaborator of the worst sort, not doing it out of fear nor to protect innocents but simply for personal gain. Aside from the fact that Kingsley doesn't seem the type to let her continue in the ministry, which means she's out of a very cushy job, there are lots of very angry people out there who would love to cause her personal injury, if not death, for her role in terrorizing their families. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a backlash happened after the war against anyone who could be connected to LV's regime at the ministry. Not something Kingsley as Minister would condone, but something the ministry would have to try hard to overcome. Just some thoughts on Umbridge. I don't think she will have gotten off lightly, which perhaps we'll find out in JKR's encyclopedia. Thanks again for the forum. Hi, first post here.

Can you please give me your thoughts on the Elder Wand? Does the Elder Wand submit to the wand that defeated it or the wizard? If it is the wand, then I hope Harry destroyed the hawthorn wand. Otherwise it seems whoever has the hawthorn wand controls the Elder Wand. If it is the wizard, then Harry will never be safe from power-hungry wizards, even it he places the Elder Wand back into Dumbledore's crypt.

That's a really interesting take on the series especially when viewed in the light of this Rowling statement. "OJ: Thank you. Are you implying that Dumbledore had a hand in ending the Second World War [JKR laughs] by his defeat of the Dark wizard Grindelwald - JKR: In 1945. OJ: - in 1945? JKR: I may well be implying that. OJ: Do you enjoy having stuff in the wizard world connecting with Muggle - Muggles - history? JKR: Well, I really do, yes, because I think that's what adds to the believability of the books. I think that's one of the reasons readers can imagine themselves so readily into the wizarding world because they can see how it does interconnect with our world. So it's both secret and apparent, but we, Muggles, don't have the perception to see what's right under our noses, of course." Your point about not fighting the battle alone is very helpful. Excellent food for thought, brother. Matthew The Black Angus,
What a first post!
That’s a really interesting take on the series especially when viewed in the light of this Rowling statement.

“OJ: Thank you. Are you implying that Dumbledore had a hand in ending the Second World War [JKR laughs] by his defeat of the Dark wizard Grindelwald –

JKR: In 1945.

OJ: – in 1945?

JKR: I may well be implying that.

OJ: Do you enjoy having stuff in the wizard world connecting with Muggle – Muggles – history?

JKR: Well, I really do, yes, because I think that’s what adds to the believability of the books. I think that’s one of the reasons readers can imagine themselves so readily into the wizarding world because they can see how it does interconnect with our world. So it’s both secret and apparent, but we, Muggles, don’t have the perception to see what’s right under our noses, of course.”

Your point about not fighting the battle alone is very helpful.

Excellent food for thought, brother.
