  • Occupation Notes
    • 
      After Dumbledore left Hogwarts, Umbridge was installed as Headmistress. However, the Headmaster's office refused to open for her, and her tenure as Headmistress was characterized by rebellion by most of the student body and faculty.
      
      Her time in Hogwarts is characterized by cruelty and physical punishments against students — she stands out especially for forcing Harry and Lee Jordan to write lines using a quill that magically causes the words to be cut into the skin on the back of the writer's hand, and uses his blood as ink. She also ordered the botched whipping of Fred and George Weasley, and eventually even planned to use the Unforgivable Cruciatus Curse in order to extract information from Harry.
      
      
  From 1996 to 1997 her occupation was Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor for Hogwarts, in Hogwarts.

    • 
      Her class consists only of defensive magical theory, due to Fudge's paranoia of Dumbledore using his students as an army to bring down the Ministry.
      
      
      
      
  From 1996 to 1997 her occupation was High Inquisitor for Hogwarts, in Hogwarts.

  • Occupation Notes
    • 
      Umbridge is appointed the first (and only) ever "Hogwarts High Inquisitor," in which position she is given extraordinary powers over the students, teachers and curriculum. Umbridge creates an Inquisitorial Squad, which is comprised entirely of Slytherins and rewards some students for reporting on others and sanctions them to act as enforcers of Umbridge's rules. By attempting to defame Harry Potter and censor word of the truth of Voldemort's return, Umbridge and Fudge frequently unintentionally help the Dark Lord and his followers.
