I think it is funny that I do not like Voldemort- but I hate Umbridge. I think you are right- it is because I have known people like her (and thank goodness they didn't have a wand). :) Stephanie@Fairday's Bloghttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273270228005303883.post-7812231132630646462015-10-13T13:38:47.552-07:002015-10-13T13:38:47.552-07:00You do need to feel some sympathy for a villain.

When he and the boys break into the vault and Beethoven's music is playing... at that point, you're rooting for him.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273270228005303883.post-62463805822326934582015-10-13T08:07:09.905-07:002015-10-13T08:07:09.905-07:00Of late, watching the TV series TURN about America...Of late, watching the TV series TURN about American Revolutionary spies, the character of Captain Simcoe is about the most loathsome character I've had the pleasure of hating!
