The Inquisitorial Squad
|
The Inquistorial Squad is a fictional organization in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
The squad was founded by Dolores Umbridge in order to exercise greater control of Hogwarts, and included the children of some of her friends at the Ministry such as Lucius Malfoy's son Draco Malfoy. Their badge was a small silver "I" worn on the chest. Members of the Inquisitorial Squad had the ability to take away points from other houses, a power which they often abused.
The squad could be seen as the evil equivalent to Dumbledore's Army, as Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters could be seen as an evil equivalent to the Order of the Phoenix.
They were involved in the attempted capture of Fred Weasley and George Weasley.
Known Inquisitorial Squad members:
- Draco Malfoy
- Vincent Crabbe
- Gregory Goyle
- Pansy Parkinson
- Millicent Bulstrode
- Warrington
- Montague
There are theories that the Inquisitorial Squad will continue in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. However, this has been neither confirmed nor uncomfimed by J.K. Rowling.
