For anyone who knows Harry Potter like the back of their hand, they know that without a possible doubt, Dolores Umbridge is the closest thing complete evil. Now others may be asking, "But what about Voldemort? He was so much worse!" and I am here to disprove that. Whilst I do think Voldemort was absolutely awful, I am sure that Umbridge was Satan reincarnated.
1. As a punishment, she forced students to use a quill that would carve their writings into their hands
Umbridge inflicted this torture on Harry, Fred and George Weasley, and a child! A child had to suffer this. Not only is this cruel and unusual punishment, but she was inflicting it on children in their learning in living environments.
2. Her ultimate goal at Hogwarts was to convince everyone that Harry was a liar
I understand that that was her Ministry assignment, but she could've been nicer about it. She rendered the students useless against any type of attack and pretty much told them that learning practicing defense spells would be useless because no one was going to try and attack them. What BS!
3. She tried to kick Professor Trelawney out of Hogwarts
What kind of monster would do that?! Especially in front of all the Hogwarts students who already see Trelawney as a joke. And you know something is wrong when McGonagall was ready to fight Umbridge!
4. She disrespected all of the Hogwarts Professors (+ Hagrid!!)
She measured Flitwick in the middle of a lesson, she interrogated Snape about his failed position as DADA professor, and insulted Hagrid in his own home! First of all, it's rude, and secondly, it was unprovoked. This lady is a straight up bitch, and I really don't think she cares, which makes it 100 times worse.
5. She pretty much gave Malfoy and his friends free reign to bully anyone they wanted
For sure, they are the last people anyone would give a power position to, yet she did it with no problem all because she needed spies. They, just like her, abused their power and tormented Hogwarts the whole year. Am I shocked? No. Pissed off? Yes-- she made her very own "police" force inside Hogwarts to do her bidding when she couldn't.
6. When she was the HBIC of the Muggle-born Registration Department and concurrently ruined peoples lives
She scarred so many people all because they were muggle-born. Of course, she had the Horcrux Locket on, but I am sure that most of the hate she was spewing was all her own. She couldn't have been put in better position to ruin people's lives all because she hated that they didn't come from all magic families. This is actually the most similar I see her to Voldemort.
7. Her getting dragged off into the Forbidden Forest made me happier than Voldemort was finally defeated
She and Voldemort both got what they had coming to them, but I distinctly remember being ecstatic when the centaurs dragged Umbridge off into the woods. Like I am pretty sure I cheered. At least when Voldemort was finally killed, there was a sense of calm all around, but when Umbridge was gone, there was an overwhelming joy.
I know I tend to exaggerate a little bit, but I cannot stand any fictional character more than her. Satan reincarnated or not, Dolores Umbridge was the worst character J.K. Rowling ever imagined and we are all scarred a little because of her.
