Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

Introduction:

Harry Potter and his cousin Dudley are mysteriously attacked by two Dementors. Harry casts a Patronus charm to repel the them, but soon after the Ministry of Magic detect his underage wizardry and inform him that he has been expelled from Hogwarts. After experiencing horrible nightmares depicting Lord Voldemort’s return, Harry is awoken by the arrival of an advance guard of wizards who escorts him to headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, a secret organisation founded by Dumbledore. Members of the Order, reveal that under the Ministry’s influence, the The Daily Prophet has launched a smear campaign against anyone who claims that the Dark Lord has returned, leaving Harry feeling isolated and betrayed by the wizarding community.

With the help of Dumbledore and Harry’s neighbour, Mrs. Figg, Harry’s name is cleared of all charges at the Ministry and is allowed to return to Hogwarts. Upon entering his fifth year of school, Harry learns that the Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge has appointed a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge, a Senior Ministry official who refuses to teach practical magic to her students, out of fear that Dumbledore will organise his own personal wizard army. As Umbridge’s control over the school increases, Ron and Hermione aid Harry in forming a secret defence group, calling themselves “Dumbledore’s Army” or DA for short.
