Albert Runcorn was responsible for the arrest of Dirk Creswell, the head of the Goblin Liaison Office as Albert Runcorn discovered that Dirk Creswell’s ancestry was fake and revealed that Dirk Creswell was actually a muggle-born wizard.
The trio didn’t know that Albert Runcorn was such a high ranking official when Harry Potter drank the Polyjuice potion and imposter Albert Runcorn.
Harry was surprised when Pius Thicknesse would call him simply Albert as a greeting and that Corban Yaxley and Dolores Umbridge knew him very well.

Magic is Might
After Voldemort’s successful coup d’etat on the Ministry of Magic and the murder of Rufus Scrimgeour, Pius Thicknesse became the new Minister for Magic.
In the novel, Pius Thicknesse was under the Imperius Curse but in the movie, he voluntarily worked for Voldemort. Voldemort’s and the Ministry of Magic’s motto became ‘Magic is Might’.
The floo network and apparition were more strictly controlled and the newly formed Muggle-Born Registration Commission would prosecute muggle-born, blood traitors and other enemies of Voldemort. Snatchers were constantly capturing those on the bingo-book.
Harry Potter was designated as Undesirable No. 1 and on the run by snatchers, Death Eaters and Voldemort. Now at the Ministry of Magic atrium, the fountain of magical brethren was replaced with a statue with muggles that are holding a statue that stated Magic is Might.
Decoy Detonator
The magic toy that looked like a black horn was called a decoy detonator that was invented by Fred and George Weasley. Among the items that Harry Potter earned for free from the Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes was the decoy detonator.

Alastor Mad Eye Moody’s Magic Eye
Alastor Mad Eye Moody’s Magic Eye was an item that provided a 360 degree rotational vision and detect objects including those underneath the Invisibility Cloak. Alastor Moody used this as a replacement for his eye that he lost during a battle.

Somehow it ended up at Dolores Umbridge’s office as an alarm. Harry Potter disguised as Albert Runcorn was furious after he found Mad Eye Moody’s eye attached to the door of Umbridge’s office.
Accio – Summoning Charm
Harry Potter starts searching for Slytherin’s Locket by the summoning charm. The summoning charm used the spell Accio and the object that the witch or wizard was finding. Despite saying Accio Locket, Harry Potter didn’t find Slytherin’s Locket.
Dolores Umbridge’s Office
Instead of Salazar Slytherin’s Locket, Harry Potter discovers various propaganda of Voldemort’s Ministry of Magic. Various posters, books and other pamphlets such as When Muggles Attack, Mudbloods and how to spot them,
The muggle conspiracy, Mudbloods and Daters they pose to a peaceful pure-blood society were scattered around Dolores Umbridge’s office. He also saw files of the Order of the Pheonix Members on the bingo-book as well.
Trial of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission
Dolores Umbridge was conducting a cruel and unjust trial on those accused as muggle born wizards and witches (although there were some that really were).
Corban Yaxley was sitting in the courtroom as well. Dementors were also present which Dolores Umbridge used as a threat to the those being trialed. Surprisingly, Dolores Umbridge had a patronus that kept the dementors at ease while the dementor’s presence threatened those at trial.
Slytherin’s Locket and how could Dolores Umbridge summon a patronus
Salazar Slytherin’s Locket became a horcrux and the dark energy within the horcrux could absorb the power of those who hold it. However a horcrux could also give power to dark wizards and witches.
Slytherin’s Locket as Voldemort’s horcrux thus could give dark energy to Dolores Umbridge and even though she was a witch with poor skills, by the power of the horcrux, she could use the patronus charm and summon a patronus even though summoning a patronus was very difficult.
Dolores Umbridge falsefully claimed she was a pure-blood wizard and claimed the S on Slytherin’s Locket stood for Selwyn Family which she claimed heritage but in reality she had no relations with the Selwyn family.
Interception of the horcrux Slytherin’s Locket
In the movie, Harry Potter disguised as Albert Runcorn shouts “I must not tell lies” to Dolores Umbridge and surprise attacks her. Harry Potter and Hermione stuns Corban Yaxley and Dolores Umbridge with the stun spell stupefy and snatched Slytherin’s Locket from Dolores Umbridge.
In the movie, the Polyjuice effect wears off but, in the novel, the disguise still remained. Harry Potter and Hermione Granger freed all the other prisoners and helped their escape as they’ve escaped.
Harry Potter as Albert Runcorn threatened the confused employees of the Ministry of Magic for the innocent prisoners. Hermione and Harry’s patronus also we worn off the dementors.
Escape to Dartmoor Forest
Corban Yaxley caught up with Ron, Hermione and Harry escaping by the floo network and breaks through the fidelius charm at 12 Grimmauld Place. 12 Grimmauld Place’s security was compromised and the trio had to abandon 12 Grimmauld Place that they’ve used as a safe house.
The trio had to quickly aspartate but Ron was severely injured. Hermione, Ron and Harry ended up at the forest of Dartmoor which they’ve visited during the Quidditch World Cup final. Hermione treats Ron’s wounds while they camped with the magic tent.
