Chapter Eight - The Hearing



Introduces the Wizengamot and some new characters including Dolores Jane Umbridge (who gets her own chapter-title later), and Amelia Susan Bones. Percy is present as the secretary and is a real jerk. The hearing takes place in the same room where Harry saw them sentancing Death-Eaters in book 4. Dumbledore shows up as Harry's advocate and beckons Mrs. Figg as the witness. Harry barely escapes the sentancing and gets all charges dropped.

Bones is really cool and turns out to be a "good-guy" here. She rallys for Harry with Dumbledore's help and shows that she is impressed with Harry's abilities (conjuring a petromus, etc.). It's a great introduction to one of the very main characters in the book: Professor Umbridge. Very suspenseful and well-written trial.
