Cute and relevant bit of Harry Potter media

While I was perusing Facebook, I found a link to a video which I thought was really cute and totally appropriate to this comm.

It's right here, if you want to watch:

I would say it's fairly on-target. The scene of the little kid with the fire extinguisher in particular.

One thing I find rather surprising is that we never hear of Umbridge attempting to fire Firenze. At least not that I remember. True, he isn't a half- centaur, but I would have expected her to dislike him anyways.

It's obvious during her run in with the centaurs in the forest, that she doesn't see them as human (but then, they also insist that they are not), so why do we not hear her complaining about an animal teaching in regards to Hagrid? Is it possible that she doesn't automatically disapprove of non-humans, but on;y the offspring of a mixed-mating? And why Hagrid, but not Flitwick? Isn't he supposed to be part goblin? Or is that not known by Dolores?

Of course, according to JKR on the Flitwick's Lexicon entry, she had not expected movieFlitwick to look so goblin/elf like - she saw him as more just a tiny old man - so presumably, his goblin heritage is pretty far back on the family tree.
