Chapter 11: The Sorting Hat's New Song

At the start-of-term feast, the Sorting Hat sings a new song, warning of the importance of unity and cooperation in troubled times. This unusual song emphasizes the need for the houses to work together against the rising threat of Voldemort. Harry and his friends notice the strained atmosphere in the Great Hall, reflecting the wider tensions within the wizarding world. Professor Umbridge interrupts Dumbledore’s welcoming speech with a condescending and bureaucratic address, signaling the Ministry’s increasing interference at Hogwarts. Her presence is met with unease and suspicion among the students and staff. The chapter also introduces the first signs of rebellion and resistance among the students, who are unhappy with the Ministry’s involvement in their education. Harry feels the weight of the scrutiny and isolation, but the support of his friends and the encouraging words of the Sorting Hat bolster his resolve to fight against the growing darkness.

Chapter 12: Professor Umbridge

Harry’s first week back at Hogwarts is marred by the oppressive presence of Professor Umbridge. In her Defense Against the Dark Arts class, she insists on a theoretical approach, refusing to teach practical defensive spells. This policy frustrates and angers the students, especially Harry, who openly challenges her claims that Voldemort has not returned. Umbridge punishes Harry with a particularly cruel form of detention, forcing him to write lines using a quill that carves the words into the back of his hand. Harry’s refusal to back down and his determination to expose the truth about Voldemort’s return solidify his role as a leader among his peers. The chapter also explores the growing tension between the students and Umbridge, who represents the Ministry’s denial and authoritarianism. Harry’s friends rally around him, offering support and solidarity. Despite the pain and humiliation of his punishment, Harry remains defiant, determined to resist Umbridge’s oppressive regime and continue the fight against Voldemort.

Chapter 13: Detention with Dolores

Harry’s detentions with Professor Umbridge continue, each one involving the painful punishment of writing lines that carve into his hand. Despite the physical pain and mental strain, Harry remains defiant, refusing to recant his claims about Voldemort’s return. His friends notice the marks on his hand and are horrified, but Harry downplays the severity to avoid worrying them. Hermione suggests they should take action, but Harry is initially reluctant. The chapter also highlights the growing tension between students and Umbridge, who tightens her control over the school with increasingly restrictive policies. Harry’s determination to resist Umbridge’s regime strengthens his resolve, and he begins to consider more proactive ways to fight back. His defiance inspires his friends, who share his frustration and anger. This chapter sets the stage for the formation of a student-led resistance movement, as Harry realizes the need for practical defensive training in the face of the growing threat.

Chapter 14: Percy and Padfoot

Harry receives a letter from Percy Weasley, who has sided with the Ministry and estranged himself from his family. Percy warns Harry to distance himself from Dumbledore and to align with the Ministry, further angering Harry and highlighting the deep divisions within the wizarding community. Harry also communicates with Sirius Black, using the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room. Sirius warns Harry about Umbridge’s increasing power and advises caution. He hints at the possibility of meeting in person, despite the dangers. The chapter underscores the isolation Harry feels, as he is caught between the Ministry’s propaganda and the genuine threat of Voldemort. Despite the pressures, Harry remains resolute in his belief in Dumbledore and the need to resist the Ministry’s oppressive measures. The support of his friends and the connection with Sirius provide much-needed encouragement, reinforcing Harry’s determination to fight back.

Chapter 15: The Hogwarts High Inquisitor

Dolores Umbridge is appointed as the Hogwarts High Inquisitor, giving her unprecedented power to inspect and regulate all aspects of the school. She begins a series of inspections, evaluating teachers and imposing her rigid, authoritarian style on the school. Her inspections are marked by bias and malice, targeting those who oppose the Ministry’s agenda. Professors Trelawney and Hagrid come under particular scrutiny. The students grow increasingly resentful of Umbridge’s presence and her attempts to control their education. Hermione proposes the idea of forming a secret group to practice Defense Against the Dark Arts, arguing that they need practical training to protect themselves. Harry is initially hesitant but is eventually persuaded by Hermione and Ron. The chapter concludes with the first clandestine meeting of what will become Dumbledore’s Army, laying the groundwork for organized student resistance against Umbridge’s tyranny.
