I really believe that when visiting a theme park nobody actually cares about thematic cohesion to the point that traveling from the French wizard street directly to the British Ministry of Magic will be a real problem.
They tried making everything fit perfectly together in a specific point in a specific timeline with Galaxy's Edge and by now I think everyone realises that was a bad call. Though in this case, calling it "The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter - Ministry Of Magic" and having the majority of it be a French street is a bit of a mismatch, but in the end it's another piece of overwrought theme park land marketing along the lines of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge which will probably be ignored by most people in favor of "French Harry Potter Land" or something similar.
I also wouldn't think too hard about the plot for the ride... Umbridge is one of the better villains of the series they haven't used yet, and her trial at the ministry is a pretty excellent setup for the obligatory "something goes wrong" turn that is mandatory on rides of this scale.
