This letter was written on 2 September 1995 by Dolores Umbridge to Professor Minerva McGonagall, to inform her of the actions of Harry Potter, who is in her House. Umbridge gave the letter to Harry to deliver. She sealed the parchment seamlessly to ensure Harry could not read it beforehand, but Minerva was able to open it with a tap of her wand.[1] At the top of the letter, which is written on pink parchment, an angry-looking kitten can be seen peering out of some leaves.[2] After McGonagall read the letter in her office, she gave Harry a Ginger Newt biscuit for having the nerve to criticise Umbridge, whom she herself detested. The letter also contained the details of Umbridge's chosen punishment for Harry -- detention with her every evening that school week.[1]
Contents[]
Minerva,
I would like to bring to your
attention the insolent behaviour,
in class, of Mr Potter.
The following reprimandable incidents
occurred under my authority:
1- Potter shouted at me in class.
2- Potter called me a liar in class.
3- Potter alleged that He who must
not be named has returned.
I trust you will consider these
transgressions with due severity.[2]
Dolores Umbridge
