They should have tried to find out where Umbridge lives, before 
infiltrating the Ministry. It could have proved difficult, even 
impossible, but it would have been worth a try. I don't know how they 
could have done it - Arthur could be of help, but it was dangerous to 
contact him. Still, less dangerous than to go to the Ministry, IMO.

I'm not sure they could use Kreacher, though. I have no idea how 
Kreacher found Mundungus, but it was easier for him then finding 
Umbridge would have been. He doesn't know her at all and he's never 
even seen her.

I think JKR wanted the Trio to infiltrate the Ministry to show what 
was going on in there and what was happening to the Muggle-borns. I 
rather liked the Ministry chapters, BTW, it was interesting. What 
else? Oh, I never expected to meet Mafalda Hopkirk in person - she 
was always just a faceless name to me (and rather unpleasant at 
that :-)). It was so unexpected that she appeared like that all of a 
sudden.


zanooda, once more not sure about her grammar (all this "would have 
been" stuff) ...
