harry potter and the order of the phoenix

Was part of the original Order of the Phoenix and at the time wore what some considered to be a “stupid” hat. Old wizard, with a wheezy voice and silver hair who attended Hogwarts with Dumbledore ( DH8). Favors a violet top hat, which often falls off as he’s quite excitable ( PS2, PS5 OP3). Wizard who is part of the Advance Guard that helps Harry in his escape from the Dursley house appears to have helped shadow Harry in the years before Harry started Hogwarts.

Killed in the Department of Mysteries by his cousin, the Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange.

As the Ministry was on the lookout for him, he was not allowed out much. Let the Order use his family home, number twelve Grimmauld Place, as its headquarters. In August of 1995 Harry spent some time there, hiding out and helping the Order ( OP3, OP4, OP5, OP6, OP7, OP9). This old house, in a run-down area of London about a mile from King’s Cross, is hidden with a Fidelius Charm.

Until Sirius’ death, the Order of the Phoenix used number twelve Grimmauld Place as their headquarters. During the second Rise, several members have already been killed. Many members of the Order died in Voldemort’s first Rise to Power in the 1970s. That group also went into battle in June of 1996 and thankfully suffered no deaths, although several members were injured. Interestingly, the group of students being trained in Defense Against the Dark Arts by Harry, which calls itself Dumbledore’s Army, also consists of a rather motley group of misfits and unlikely heroes. This newly formed Order fought a pitched battle with Death Eaters in June of 1996. There was a conscious effort to find people who would be spies within the Ministry Shacklebolt and Tonks joined at this time (OP). This diversity is a true mark of the organization and very much a key philosophy of Dumbledore, standing in direct contrast to the philosophy of exclusiveness found in those like the Malfoys, the Blacks, and by Voldemort himself.Īfter Voldemort regained his powers in 1995 and the Ministry was unwilling to resist him, Dumbledore re-formed the Order and recruited new members. Members represented a wide variety of folk, from wizards to Squibs. They called themselves The Order of the Phoenix. The Order was revived in 1995 when Voldemort began to regain power.ĭuring Voldemort’s first rise to power in the 1970s, Dumbledore gathered a group of people together to fight against him. The Order of the Phoenix was a resistance group formed by Dumbledore in the 1970s to fight Voldemort when the Ministry’s efforts were ineffectual.
