The notion of Dolores getting beheaded on Tower Hill brings a warmth to my soul, only slightly soured by the fact that it's such an unsightly head.Wait... what? How can having a bad opinion of the queen count as high treason? I mean, unless she actually tries/plots to _do_ something to the queen, which is something altogether different (And seems pretty far outside of the scope of Drunkard's Walk).
Edit: Tower Hill, not Tower Green as I originally put. Umbridge isn't worthy of Tower Green.
Actually I find the section at the end defining the use of the emergency power act as pretty funny. As considering the date and the name, it basically has to be wizarding version of the UK law of the same name. Which was passed in anticipation of WWII - for which the wizarding world is the rise of Grindelwald, the last Dark Lord before Voldemort. I find this amusing, because at this point, the Ministry is pretty much utterly denying the revivication of Voldemort - and then they suddenly invoke a law that was passed to deal with the last Dark Lord. I suspect this might somehow bite them in the ass. (Note that this is an interesting deviation from standard HP, where the High inquistor position was created due to an education decree of all things).
