Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Brief Overview

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is the fifth book in the series about the young wizard Harry Potter, written by British author J.K. Rowling. The plot centers around Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After Voldemort regains his strength, the Ministry of Magic refuses to believe in his return. Harry and his friends face distrust and misunderstanding from adults. This year, Dolores Umbridge, a Ministry official, arrives at Hogwarts to oversee the school. She imposes harsh rules, depriving students of the ability to defend themselves and learn defensive spells, prompting Harry to form 'Dumbledore's Army'—a secret club where he and other students can prepare for upcoming battles against dark forces. Throughout the book, Harry also experiences intense mental strain due to his continuous connection with Voldemort, which allows him to see the Dark Lord's events and emotions. The Order of the Phoenix—a secret organization led by Albus Dumbledore dedicated to fighting Voldemort and his followers—plays a significant role in the book. The narrative culminates in a battle at the Ministry of Magic, where Harry and members of Dumbledore's Army fight the Death Eaters, ultimately leading to the death of one of the Order's members and the Ministry's acknowledgment of Voldemort's return.
