Hi!
I've recently watched Harry Potter and there was a sentence 'the boy has gone yumpy'. What does it mean?

By looking around the internet, it seems like a lot of people have not heard it before Harry Potter.
According to dicitonary.com it has the meaning of:
a young, well-educated person who has a professional career and aspires to a higher social and economic status
Here is the source:

It also says that the origin of this word was from the pharse: y(oung) u(pwardly) m(obile) p(rofessional) (or p(erson)

This appears to be either a made up word or exclusive to a British Public School
