I don't mind the new characters.

In fact, I think it is logical. The more Harry learns about the 
wizarding world, the more characters he gets to learn. I also would 
argue that both, Tonks and Umbridge, have a point. Tonks is a member 
of the order. It would be a bit unrealistic if the Order only 
consists of people Harry already knew. Okay, Tonks got a bit 
more "pagetime" than other Order members. That really isn't that bad. 
I saw her as a represent of all the new Order members.  

Umbridge united most of the school. This was a direct link to the 
Sorting hat's new song. She also was responsible for Dumbledore, 
McGonagall and Hagrid leaving school. If they were there, the whole 
climax wouldn't have happened, because Harry, although daft enough 
not to think about Snape, would have gone to Dumbledore, Hagrid or 
McGonagall.
