Very nice Umbridge - well, actually, very nasty Umbridge, but you know what I mean! Good to see someone bringing in a bunch of students Harry hasn't seen for a situation like this, it could have felt unnecessarily constricted if you'd confined it to those we know, and the "new" ones were effectively done.
A couple of bits I rather liked because of the contrast between what Umbridge thinks and what actually happens: "Granger was listening — she would be, a girl like her, and it was a pity she’d fallen in with such bad company—but Potter never did listen to anyone but himself and Dumbledore" - except he does listen to Hermione, of course, to Umbridge's cost. And "He would demonstrate his disrespect for poor Diggory's memory far better than she ever could" - so very much not rhe way it happened in class.
