Rowling explained that through the surname of the character wanted to convey the cruelty and petty character of this woman. Researchers of the Harry Potter series note that in the life of the writer there was a lady, having an appearance similar to the cruel-ferrous heroine. It was a rowling school teacher, to which the future creator of Poterianians immediately penetrated with hatred. And this feeling turned out to be mutual.

Also, in the image of the temporary director of Hogwarts, the features of Joan's colleagues are guessed - she decorated workplace with cute kittens, at the same time distinguished by intolerance and rigidity.

Angry Ambridge issued a decree that prohibits reading this newspaper. After Damblez becomes aware of the existence of Dumbledore's squad, Dumbledore himself calls himself the organizer of this community to protect the student's lady from punishment.

Life in Hogwarts becomes unbearable: Hagrid is forced to flee from the walls of the school, and Minerva McGonagall suffers. Not wanting to endure the new director, Harry and Hermione invent the way to get rid of Ambridge. Heroes lure the lady to the Forbidden Forest, where Dolores takes a herd of angry centaurs with him. At the same time, the lady loses the magic wand. To rescue the heroine from captivity of Centaurs, Dumbledore arrives.
