My roommate my sophomore year of college was a die-hard fan and one day they were playing Chamber of Secrets at our school's movie theatre. Since I'd dragged her to The Two Towers, she dragged me to Harry Potter and I was hooked. We were both reading book 5 at the same time ( I was re-reading it) and all you'd hear from our dorm from time to time was 'That HORRIBLE Delores Umbridge!'/
hillarious icon! And yeah, Umbridge is the worst worst worst. To the point that I can't bring myself to reread five. There's something about the nature of her cruelty that completely distresses me as perhaps nothing else in the series does.
She gets me nice and fired up and at this time of year (impending finals of DOOM), and keeps me from crawling under the covers and reading nothing more imposing than SkyMall.
