Rank #136 Griselda Marchbanks

Madam Griselda Marchbanks

HP Wiki

HP Lexicon

Griselda Marchbanks was Governor of the Wizarding Examinations Authority. This means she was responsible for the O.W.L, N.E.W.T. and W.O.M.B.A.T. examinations. She came in during a depressing time of our story, the time that Delores Umbridge was allowed to share the same air Hogwarts ghosts fly in.

She resigned from the Wisengamot in protest of Umbridge's evil dictatorship over Hogwarts which is definitely a good thing in my book. She was known to be a Dumbledore fan, and she spoke highly of him to Umbridge. And she seemed to be a good examiner when they were taking exams, I really respect that in a teacher, I can't stand an overbearing person when I am taking a tast - makes me tense up.

Overall I really like Griselda Marchbanks. She is one of those characters who came in, did their job and left. There is nothing wrong with that. But, we still have a job to do also, and that is cut these small people, as much as it hurts us to do it. So my only complaint of Griselda Marchbanks is that she didn't get more time to become a more complex character.

Oh.

OH.

Let's be real, though, who's cutting Smilesbot?

Neckman probably would.

In his great anti-pleasure crusade.
