Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling. It is the longest book in the series, and was released on 21 June 2003. The novel features Harry's struggles through his fifth year at Hogwarts, including the surreptitious return of Harry's nemesis Lord Voldemort, O.W.L. exams, awkward teenage love and an obstructive Ministry of Magic. The book has been made into a film, which was released in 2007. Plot The book begins when Harry, back with the Dursleys in Privet Drive, produces a Patronus charm in order to defend himself and his cousin, Dudley, when they are attacked by Dementors. Order of the Phoenix members soon arrive to escort Harry to their secret headquarters at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place in London, where the Weasley family, Hermione Granger, and Harry’s godfather Sirius Black, are already staying. It is only now that Harry learns that Voldemort is building an army and is attempting to retrieve a "weapon". The Ministry of Magic charges Harry with performing underage magic, when he produced his Patronus, and as a result, he must undergo a hearing; only if he is proved innocent, will he escape punishment. He is cleared after testimony from Albus Dumbledore and Harry's Squib neighbour, Arabella Figg; after the hearing, the news that he has been passed over whilst Ron and Hermione have been made Prefects seems trivial. To the trio's surprise, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts is Dolores Umbridge, one of the Ministry officials who presided at Harry's trial. Hermione guesses, accurately, that Umbridge is only there as a spy for the Ministry; Umbridge is soon appointed as High Inquisitor, arbitrarily imposing strict rules and regulations and punishing those who disobey her rules, making them write with cutting quills. She is also extremely prejudiced against "half-breeds", such as centaurs, werewolves, and similar creatures. She considers Rubeus Hagrid (a half-giant) and Sybill Trelawney incompetent, firing Trelawney and putting Hagrid on probation. Although Dumbledore is unable to prevent Trelawney's dismissal, as headmaster he has the power to allow her to remain in the castle and appoint a new Divination teacher—the centaur, Firenze. Harry has disturbing dreams about running down a hallway and attempting to open a door in the Ministry's Department of Mysteries. One night he dreams he is a snake attacking Ron's father; Mr Weasley is found at the Ministry, suffering from severe venomous snakebites, causing Harry to fear that Voldemort is possessing him. In response, Dumbledore has Severus Snape teach Harry Occlumency to block his mind from intrusion, but their mutual animosity ends their lessons prematurely. [edit] Rebellion and Dumbledore's Army To combat the Ministry's smear campaign against Harry and Dumbledore, Hermione blackmails yellow journalist Rita Skeeter into writing a favourable article about Harry witnessing Voldemort's return. Ravenclaw student Luna Lovegood's father publishes the story in his magazine, The Quibbler. Furious, Umbridge bans the Quibbler from the school, but this ban only causes the story to spread more rapidly, garnering support for Harry. Hermione convinces Harry to secretly teach Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff students Defence Against the Dark Arts, as Umbridge clearly has no intention of teaching the students anything useful. They name their clandestine group "Dumbledore's Army" (D.A.) to mock the Ministry of Magic, which fears Dumbledore is secretly building a wizard army, and the group learns defensive magic. Umbridge's "Inquisitorial Squad", comprising mostly of Slytherin students, uncover the group's meetings. To protect Harry and other students from reprisals, when the Inquistorial Squad reports to Umbridge, Dumbledore claims that he organised the group to counter Voldemort. Confronted by Minister Cornelius Fudge, Percy Weasley, Umbridge, and Aurors (John Dawlish and Kingsley Shacklebolt), Dumbledore easily overpowers them and is whisked away by his phoenix, Fawkes. Umbridge becomes Headmistress and enacts even stricter rules. The disenchanted Weasley twins revolt, unleashing relentless magical chaos throughout the school which the staff pretends to be incapable of solving. The twins are caught, but summoning their confiscated brooms, they fly away, leaving Hogwarts to open their own joke shop. [edit] Battle at the Department of Mysteries Harry has a vision of Sirius being tortured at the Department of Mysteries, although Hermione suspects that it may be a trap. Harry, with help from various members of Dumbledore's Army, attempts to contact Sirius at Grimmauld Place via the Floo Network in Umbridge's office fireplace, but he is caught. Umbridge, with Snape's help, attempts to determine whom Harry was contacting. Snape, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, claims he has run out of Veritaserum. Before leaving, Snape is alerted by Harry of his vision of Sirius. Umbridge reveals it was she who sent the Dementors to attack Harry during the summer in an attempt to frame or silence him. As she is about to use the illegal Cruciatus Curse on him, Hermione claims that Dumbledore has hidden a powerful weapon in the Forbidden Forest. She leads Harry and Umbridge into the forest, where they encounter the centaurs; Umbridge insults them and an angry centaur carries her off screaming into the woods. When Hagrid's giant half-brother, Grawp, crashes onto the scene, Hermione and Harry escape amid the chaos. Along with fellow D.A. members Ginny, Ron, Neville, and Luna, the trio fly to the Ministry of Magic on the school's Thestrals. At the Ministry of Magic, Death Eaters ambush the students. The students heroically defend themselves, but are outmatched--they are nearly defeated when members of the Order arrive. The glass prophecy sphere concerning Harry and Voldemort shatters during the course of this battle, thus destroying the official record of the prophecy. Sirius is blasted with a spell by his Death Eater cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, and falls backwards through a mysterious veiled archway. Lupin restrains Harry from going after him; Sirius is dead. The Death Eaters are captured except for Bellatrix Lestrange, whom Harry pursues into the atrium, where Voldemort appears. Dumbledore saves Harry, and Ministry of Magic employees arrive in time to see the Dark Lord before he Disapparates. Rita Skeeter's story is reprinted in the Daily Prophet, exonerating Harry and Dumbledore. [edit] Dealing with loss Dumbledore apologises to Harry for withholding information over the past five years. He reveals he is the one to whom the lost prophecy was made, by Sybill Trelawney: The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies... Dumbledore also reveals that the prophecy could equally well have Neville Longbottom, as he and Harry have the same birthday, but believes Voldemort chose to attack Harry because they are both half-bloods. In doing so, the Dark Lord marked Harry as his equal. Dumbledore also discloses why he continues to send Harry back to the Dursleys' home for the summer: when his mother died to protect him, this initiated an ancient magic. As long as Harry stays at the house of his blood-relative long enough to call it a home, it will provide him a shield protection not even Voldemort can overcome. Dumbledore explains why he has seemed to avoid Harry that year; he cares so greatly about Harry that he fears Voldemort will be able to anticipate his actions through his link with Harry. Harry seeks out Nearly Headless Nick to ask if Sirius can come back as a ghost, but Sir Nick says, "he will have... gone on."; it is only those fearing death that remain as earthbound spirits. Harry asks Luna why they seem to be the only two who can see the Thestrals; she answers that one must have encountered death, and she has seen her mother die as a result of a magical experiment. However, Luna says that she knows she will see her mother again; she and others who have died are just behind the veiled arch. Surprisingly, Harry feels comforted knowing that he may see Sirius again and heads off to finish packing. At King's Cross station, several Order members are there to greet Harry and the Dursleys. Alastor Moody warns Uncle Vernon that if Harry is mistreated, they will intervene. Harry leaves to head back to 4 Privet Drive with the Dursleys, stopping once to look back towards his two best friends, Ron and Hermione.
