Umbridge I’m still a bit unsure of. I disliked Grawp. I thought the darkness and overall atmosphere too heavy for children, and the sinister, yet subtlety of the takeover too complicated for them. I don’t think this much politics has a place in children’s books, they don’t need it...

I think that JK was aiming a little more towards the older kids with this book, meaning teenagers the same age as harry, and the atmosphere was perfect for them, IMO. Also, I think the dark mood was created to reflect Harry's mood and thoughts.

EDIT::Then again, idk how many of each age group read it.
