Back to index Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (12A) Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger enter their fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The wizarding community has shunned Harry and Albus Dumbledore, head of Hogwarts, who claim that Lord Voldemort has, after 14 years, regained a body and been restored to full power, and are instead influenced by the propaganda of The Daily Prophet and the intentional ignorance of the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. Fudge appoints a new Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge, who begins to steadily take over Hogwarts through the support of the Ministry.
Harry, Ron and Hermione immediately dislike Umbridge, because she refuses to allow them to discuss the return of Voldemort, and because she teaches them inadequate practical lessons. So Dumbledore's Army is formed, an underground organisation with Harry as teacher to prepare his schoolmates in case of a battle with Voldemort. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Imelda Staunton, Michael Gambon and Robbie Coltrane.
