"In the book, Umbridge's torture of Harry, making him write in his
own blood, leaving his hand scarred is pretty nasty stuff to read.
Is
this depicted in the film? Is there visual torture or is only the
aftermath shown and referred to?
Thanks to anyone who can let me know!"
Troy answers:
Yes Jett,
As others have already mentioned, the scene does appear in the movie,
but what is shown is far from the torture that we read in the book.
In a related scene, there is a part of the movie that I feel was
completele rubbish was (as it was completely not true to the
book). . .

. . . because the same kind of torture was used on others besides
Harry. At one point, it shows a whole classroom of students (I think
all were members of the DA) writing with the "Blood Quills." Also,
in another scene, the twins are comforting a student that is having a
hard time dealing with the pain in his hand, much to Prof. Umb.'s
twisted satisfaction.
