Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix(2007)



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, her detentions are painful and torturous, and because she teaches them inadequate, textbook lessons devoid of actual magic. Thus, "Dumbledore's Army" is founded, as an underground organisation with Harry as teacher to prepare twenty-seven of his schoolmates in case of a battle with Voldemort. Harry starts having dreams about what Voldemort is doing and saves Ron's dad, by seeing him being attacked in the Department of Mysteries by Nagini, Voldemort's pet snake. Harry then begins Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape to close his mind to the Dark Lord's penetrations in the event that Lord Voldemort should become aware of the connection between Harry Potter's mind and his own. A vision of Sirius Black being tortured by Lord Voldemort in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries prompts Harry to launch a rescue attempt."
