bboyminn:

If you are referring to their encounter on the stairs,
I hated it. In the end, it showed McGonagall backing
down, both literally by yielding to Umbridge's threats
and symbolically by stepping DOWN the stairs, when 
Umbridge, in a sense, threatens her with the Minister.
Yet, in the books, McGonagall NEVER backs down.

I think a better way to have played it would have been
for McGonagall to storm off UP the stairs, saying,
as she does in the book, the Fudge may not be minster
for long. 

That opens the opportunity for Umbridge to run after
McGonagall, shouting that McGonagall wants Dumbledore
to be Minister so she (McGonagall) can take Umbridge's
place as Undersecretary.

But, that's just my opinion.
