‘Two characters watch Umbridge getting
dragged away -- Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. At least one of those two
knows that centaurs are rape machines.’ [Source- Imgur.com]
The climax of Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix may have belched some satisfactory answers to myriad questions puzzling
the readers throughout the 750-odd pages of this thick volume, but it also left
something unanswered and unexplained.
In the book, it was clearly mentioned that nobody
got an inkling of what actually transpired in the forest (except for Umbridge
and Dumbledore, of course). Harry Potter himself never got to know of the
secret (in fact, he never bothered to find it out). And since this book has
been written from the point of view of Harry, the readers get to see precisely what
he sees (except for an occasional chapter here and there).
Curiosity amongst readers was bound to find its
way in online streams and threads. So, discussions and debates ensued between
people sitting two continents and an ocean apart, many of whom having Harry
Potter as the only thing common between them. A consensus, however, could never
be reached. It was more of an open ending where the reader is allowed to make
his interpretation.
Centaurs are mythological creatures and they
have a notorious reputation for being serial rapists. Professor Dolores
Umbridge was abducted by the centaurs of the Forbidden Forest and she was
visibly disturbed and benumbed when she returned to school (after being rescued
by Dumbledore).
Was she raped? Was she not?
Only one person in the world can put all such discussions
and debates to rest. JK Rowling has already sent a few shock waves by making a
disclosure of the homosexual profile of Albus Dumbledore and, more recently, of
the appropriateness of a Harry-Hermione match (and the probable discord in
Ron-Hermione relationship).
Will Rowling ever reveal this bit of information
centering around Umbridge? Only time will tell.
Personally, I believe that she was raped. What’s
your take on it?

ReplyDeleteHaha
DeleteLol... Doesn't this sound kind of funny? I mean she doesn't even exist for real, so who cares?!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, feels great to drop here after a long time :)
Ah, some people care...There is a whole world of HP fans out there who like to carry out post-mortem of all the books and movies
DeleteHaha... Now you are pinging me to read the HP series all over again! :D
DeleteI have read the series 5-6 times :)
DeleteWell, there is a lot of discussion on this subject. The all-pink , racist , sadist Umbridge really tormented Harry and his friends. ( I literally fumed at her while reading :-D ) In HP series it has been preached that bad people are deserved to be punished.....but rape ? rape as a punishment sounds gross ..but that Centaurs do have such negative reputation , is also true...In fact this is a controversy discussion over which could let you anywhere...
ReplyDeleteYes Maniparna...Even I loathed that lady, in fact everyone did. But as you said, rape is not something one would like her to go through....
DeleteU a HP fan ? Awesoem and gosh
ReplyDeleteI never thought of this ritesh . If centaurs r serial rapists, may be its true !
Hi. Good to see another HP fan here. Yes Afshan, in all probability, Dolores got raped there....and raped serially by many centaurs
DeleteHahahaha I never thought of it. but that would be right. she deserved that. I wonder how two of they (harry and hermione) knew about what would happen to her. may be they both been in the orgy with the centaurs. Now I think I will have dream tonight like an outdoor porn movie.
