[HPFGU-Movie] Umbridge torture

[Karen]

I thought it managed to really solidify Fred and George's raucous exit, give
it heft and reason. To me the scene was much more about Fred and George than
Umbridge or Harry. Since it would have taken a whole 'nother montage of all
the stuff they were pulling in place of one tiny short scene. Plus, I really
loved seeing that caring side of Fred and George.
