    i just rewatched the series on blu-ray

    umbridge obviously got better, because the 3 intrepid heroes had to steal a locket/horcrux from her in the ministry of magic in the last film.

    Umbridge was never really mentally ill other than I imagine being treated for a bit of shock. She was just a very nasty lady. :D

    In the first film, Harry is revealed to be fantastically wealthy, but it doesn't come up again until DH2 when he tries to offer money to the goblin at Gringots in exchange for the sword of Gryfindor.

    In the books does his being rich ever get mentioned or used?

    I don't understand the question. :confused: Obviously Harry was frugal with his money and only used it for Hogwarts expenses. Obviously he couldn't use it during the Summers when he was living with the Dursleys. Short of breaking into his vault myself I can only assume he had lots of Gold left after 6 years assuming he never withdrew any gold for his 6th and last year.

    Yeah, kind of. Ron is a bit resentful that his family is, in his own words, poor. Harry at these times thinks that he would give the Wealeys money but they would never take it.
    Also, he didn't take the winnings from the Triwizard Tournament because it was tainted and he didn't really need it.

    I wouldn't say he was "rich" but his parents left him their wealth when they died and as he was an only child it was all his. Rons family was most definitely "poor" in relation to Harry but them Harry didn't splash the cash round, he only used it for Hogwarts items, I think he brought his broom sticks from it and a few other items. In the book Harry does often feel guilty because I guess to Ron he is rich and often has hand-me-downs whereas Harry has all new items.

    Yeah, I was on Pottermore the other day and there's a Discovery Bar, which keeps on making me want to go back to, what I thought were completed, previous chapters.

    Questions like these makes me want to re-read the entire series. I just finished reading the tales of beedle the bard and I love the story of the fountain of fair fortune.
