{{Quote|It's a secret society. [[Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]]'s in charge, he founded it. It's the people who fought against [[Tom Riddle|You-Know-Who]] [[First Wizarding War|last time]].|[[Hermione Granger]] telling [[Harry Potter]] about the Order in [[1995]].|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix}}
 
 
The '''Order of the Phoenix''' was a secret society founded by [[Albus Dumbledore]] to oppose [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] and his [[Death Eaters]]. The original Order was created sometime in [[1970]]s, after Voldemort returned to [[England]] from abroad and started his campaign to take over the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] and persecute [[Muggle-born]]s. The Order worked with the Ministry to oppose the Dark Lord and his followers, and played a crucial role in the [[First Wizarding War]]. Victory came in [[1981]] at the cost of many of their members.
 
 
The Order disbanded, but was reconvened in [[1995]] after [[Harry Potter]] informed Dumbledore of Lord Voldemort's [[Return of the Dark Lord|return]]. The Ministry refused to admit that the Dark Lord had returned, thus the Order alone worked to protect Harry Potter and the [[Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy|prophecy]] concerning him and Voldemort in the [[Department of Mysteries]]. After a [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries|battle]] occurred there in [[1996]] between the Order and the Death Eaters, the Ministry admitted the truth. However, the [[1997|next year]] would see the Order [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower|losing their leader]] and the Ministry being conquered by Voldemort. The Order remained an underground resistance, trying to protect [[Muggle]]s and [[Potterwatch|broadcast]] the truth during the worst days of the [[Second Wizarding War]]. They answered the call to arms by [[Dumbledore's Army]] on [[2 May]], [[1998]], fighting Voldemort and his Death Eaters for the final time at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]]. The [[Battle of Hogwarts]] ended with Voldemort's death and a decisive victory for the Order and their allies.

===Founding and First Wizarding War===

====Origin====
 
{{Dialogue a-b-a|Sirius|What was there to be gained by fighting the most evil wizard that ever existed? Only innocent lives, Peter!|Peter|You don’t understand! He would have killed me, Sirius!|THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED! DIED RATHER THAN BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS, AS WE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR YOU!|[[Sirius Black]] confronting [[Peter Pettigrew]] in [[1994]]|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban}}.
 
 
The Order of the Phoenix was founded by [[Albus Dumbledore]] during [[Lord Voldemort]]'s [[First Wizarding War|first rise to power]] in the [[1970s]]. Dumbledore formed the Order to combat Voldemort's increasing threat and power. [[Auror]]s from the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] also joined the Order to participate in more secretive, sudden assaults aimed to crush the Dark Rebellion. Dumbledore created a method of communication among Order members by inventing a way to make [[Patronus Charm|Patronuses]] speak.
 
 
Although the [[Death Eaters]] had been attacking mostly [[Muggle]]s and [[Muggle-born]]s to spread terror, they soon turned to attacking "[[blood traitor]]s" such as Order members as well. [[Fabian and Gideon Prewett]] were killed by a group of six Death Eaters led by [[Antonin Dolohov]]. [[Caradoc Dearborn]] disappeared, the [[Bones family]] was almost completely destroyed, [[Benjy Fenwick]] was brutally murdered, and [[Marlene McKinnon]] and her [[McKinnon family|family]] were killed by Death Eaters, including [[Travers]]. Even as the Order suffered great losses, they continued to fight, and four of their members — [[James Potter I|James]] and [[Lily Evans|Lily Potter]], and [[Frank Longbottom|Frank]] and [[Alice Longbottom]] — defied Voldemort himself three times.<ref name="OTP">''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]''</ref>
 
 
====The Prophecy====
 
[[File:Lily eath.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Lily Evans|Lily Potter]] is murdered by [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]], one of [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort's]] biggest mistakes.]]
 
{{Quote|The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have [[love|power the Dark Lord knows not]]...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives....the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...|[[Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy]]|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix}}
 
 
This defiance made the two couples and their infant sons [[Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Neville Longbottom|Neville]] targets of [[Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy|a prophecy concerning a person with the power to defeat the Dark Lord]]. Then Death Eater [[Severus Snape]] heard part of the prophecy and reported it to Voldemort, who believed it referred to Harry Potter. He decided to hunt down the [[Potter family|Potters]], choosing the half-blood Harry, like Voldemort himself, as opposed to the pure blood, Neville. The Potters, who were in hiding under the [[Fidelius Charm]], caused Snape to switch sides, since he had always been deeply in love with Lily Potter.<ref name="DH">''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''</ref>
 
 
It was not enough to save them, however; the Potters' [[Secret-Keeper]] [[Peter Pettigrew]] betrayed them, and Voldemort came to their home in [[Godric's Hollow]] on [[31 October]], [[1981]]. He summarily killed James, but offered Lily a chance to live, as requested by [[Severus Snape]]. She refused, begging for her son's life, and Voldemort used the [[Killing Curse]] against her and then on Harry. Because Lily had willingly sacrificed herself out of [[love]] for her son, Harry was protected, and the curse backfired. Because Voldemort had made [[Horcrux]]es, he did not die, but he lost physical form. He also inadvertently made Harry himself a Horcrux, as a piece of his soul embedded itself into a [[Harry Potter's scars|scar]] on Harry's forehead.<ref name="DH" /> Pettigrew fled the scene and faked his own death by hiding in his [[Animagus]] form and cutting off his own finger, while killing many innocent muggles with one spell, thus [[Sirius Black]] was blamed for his crimes, and thrown into [[Azkaban]] without a trial<ref name="POA">''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]''</ref>.
 
 
====Disbandment====
 
[[File:FirstwarDumbledore.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Dumbledore at [[Death Eater]] trials in [[1981]].]]
 
The [[First Wizarding War]] ended with a victory for the Order and the Ministry, but the Death Eaters were still a danger. Four of them — the Lestrange brothers; [[Rabastan Lestrange|Rabastan]] and [[Rodolphus Lestrange|Rodolphus]], Rodolphus' wife [[Bellatrix Lestrange|Bellatrix]], and [[Bartemius Crouch Jr.|Barty Crouch Jr]] — attacked the [[Longbottom family|Longbottoms]] shortly after their master's defeat. Seeking information about their [[Tom Riddle|master's]] downfall, the Death Eaters drove [[Alice Longbottom|Alice]] and [[Frank Longbottom|Frank]] insane with the [[Cruciatus Curse]]. The Death Eaters and many of their comrades were caught and sentenced to [[Azkaban]], some of them turned in by [[Igor Karkaroff]], who was released in exchange for information. Others, such as [[Lucius Malfoy]], managed to avoid prison by claiming to have only served Voldemort under the [[Imperius Curse]], though Order members were sceptical of such claims.<ref name="GOF">''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]''</ref>
 
 
[[Albus Dumbledore]] and [[Severus Snape]], who had turned spy for the Order "at great personal risk" prior to Voldemort's fall, suspected that Voldemort would return, and they determined that [[Harry Potter]] had to be protected.<ref name="DH" /> However, the war was over, and the Order was disbanded. The members were, for the most part, powerful witches and wizards with many other demands on their time, and, if the second incarnation of the Order is indicative, there may well have been internal pressures and uncertainties which, in the absence of a clear, external threat, would make it inadvisable to attempt to maintain the group.
 
 
===The Order reconvenes===
 
[[File:300px-Order of the Phoenix.jpg|thumb|right|280px|The Order's [[Advance Guard]].]]
 
{{Quote|Time is short, and unless the few of us who know the truth stand united, there is no hope for any of us.|[[Albus Dumbledore]] after the return of [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]]|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire}}
 
 
On [[24 June]], [[1995]], Lord Voldemort [[Return of the Dark Lord|returned to power]]. His servant [[Bartemius Crouch Jr.|Barty Crouch Jr]], disguised as [[Alastor Moody]], had manipulated the [[Goblet of Fire]] in order to ensure [[Harry Potter]] became a Champion of the [[Triwizard Tournament]]. When Harry and fellow Champion [[Cedric Diggory]] touched the [[Triwizard Cup]], not knowing that it had been made a [[Portkey]], they were transported to a graveyard in [[Little Hangleton]]. [[Peter Pettigrew]] killed Cedric and then performed a ritual to resurrect Voldemort, who then [[Dark Mark|summoned]] his [[Death Eaters]] to him. Harry managed to escape and inform [[Albus Dumbledore]] of the Dark Lord's return.<ref name="GOF" />
 
 
Within an hour, the original Order members had been informed. Dumbledore sent [[Sirius Black]], who was still wanted by the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry]], in his [[Animagus]] form ([[Padfoot|a dog]]), to alert key members such as [[Arabella Figg]], [[Mundungus Fletcher]], and [[Remus Lupin]] to the new threat. Upon its reconstitution, the Order set up headquarters at [[12 Grimmauld Place]], [[London]] — Sirius's [[House of Black|family]] home. The house was protected with the [[Fidelius Charm]], with Dumbledore as [[Secret-Keeper]]. Members of the Order were assigned by Dumbledore to protect Harry Potter and for guard duty. Harry and his best friends [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] and [[Hermione Granger]] also assisted the Order, though, being under-age, they were not official members.<ref name="OTP" />
 
 
===Ministry relations===
 
[[File:Dumbledore-DaftOrDangerous?.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A ''[[Daily Prophet]]'' article questioning Dumbledore's sanity for claiming Voldemort had returned.]]
 
{{Dialogue a-b|Cornelius Fudge|If you're going to work against me . . .|Albus Dumbledore|The only one against whom I intend to work is Lord Voldemort. If you are against him, then we remain, Cornelius, on the same side.|[[Cornelius Fudge]] and [[Albus Dumbledore]]|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire}}
 
 
Although Dumbledore and the original members of the Order accepted the return of Lord Voldemort, members of the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]], including [[Minister for Magic]] [[Cornelius Fudge]], were not convinced. Fudge preferred to believe that Dumbledore was spreading rumours in an attempt to undercut his authority as Minister. Years earlier, there had been widespread support for Dumbledore to take the position, although he declined, choosing instead to remain at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. In his early years as Minister, Fudge was constantly bombarding Dumbledore, frantically seeking advice. These actions sowed the seeds of paranoia in Fudge, as he feared Dumbledore would usurp his power. He also accused Dumbledore of "going senile in his old years", and declared that he was clearly mistaken about Voldemort's return.<ref name="GOF" /> However, some [[Auror]]s in the Ministry, such as [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] and [[Nymphadora Tonks]], came to believe Dumbledore and joined the Order in secret.<ref name="OTP" />
 
 
{{Main|Campaign to discredit Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter}}
 
 
Under the Ministry's influence, the ''[[Daily Prophet]]'' portrayed Dumbledore and Harry as either liars or nutters, and thus many members of the wizarding public did not believe in Voldemort's return either. The Order was forced to exist underground and certain members were unable to even greet one another in public, for fear of exposing their allegiances. Voldemort and his Death Eaters took advantage of the Ministry's folly, conducting their business in secret for a year. Among their goals was to obtain a record of the [[Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy|prophecy concerning Voldemort and Harry]], which was kept in the [[Department of Mysteries]]. The Order kept guard on the area, but were hampered by the Ministry's lack of cooperation.
 
 
[[File:Tonksbattle.jpg|thumb|right|280px|[[Nymphadora Tonks]] in the [[Department of Mysteries]].]]
 
{{Dialogue a-b|Dumbledore|It was foolish to come here tonight, Tom. The [[Auror]]s are on their way-|Voldemort|By which time I shall be gone, and you shall be dead!|[[Albus Dumbledore]] and [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] face off|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix}}
 
 
Voldemort eventually managed to lure Harry there, along with five members of [[Dumbledore's Army]], an organisation Harry, Hermione, and Ron founded at Hogwarts in response to Ministry employee [[Dolores Umbridge]] refusing to teach students practical [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]]. The group of teenagers were ambushed by twelve [[Death Eaters]]. The Order became aware of this through [[Severus Snape]], and [[Sirius Black]], [[Remus Lupin]], [[Nymphadora Tonks]], [[Alastor Moody]], and [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] raced to the Ministry to [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries|battle]] the Death Eaters. They managed to save the students, and the prophecy was destroyed, but Sirius was killed by his cousin, [[Bellatrix Lestrange]]. [[Albus Dumbledore]] helped round up the other Death Eaters, summoned the Aurors, and then [[Duel in the Ministry Atrium|duelled]] Voldemort in defence of Harry. All of the Order members that participated in the battle were wounded, with exception of Remus Lupin and Albus Dumbledore. In addition, all Dumbledore's Army members were injured except for Harry. <ref name="OTP" />
 
 
Several Ministry personnel, including Minister Fudge, entered the Ministry Atrium at the end of this duel, thus seeing Voldemort for themselves. Voldemort [[Apparition|Disapparated]] with Bellatrix, but Fudge was forced to admit that Dumbledore and [[Harry Potter]] had been right.<ref name="OTP" /> He was soon replaced by [[Rufus Scrimgeour]] as Minister for Magic.<ref name="HBP">''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]''</ref>
 
 
===Second Wizarding War===
 
====Guarding Hogwarts====
 
[[File:Dark Mark Over Hogwarts.JPG|thumb|left|250px|The [[Dark Mark]] over Hogwarts during the [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower]].]]
 
{{Quote|Dumbledore's man through and through, aren't you, Potter?|[[Rufus Scrimgeour]] to [[Harry Potter]]|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince}}
 
 
The battle marked the official beginning of the [[Second Wizarding War]]. Although Scrimgeour was a more proactive Minister than Fudge had been, he proved to be suspicious of the Order and of Dumbledore as well. He tried to convince [[Harry Potter]] to ally himself with the Ministry to boost public morale, but Harry was disgusted by Scrimgeour's high-handed methods and declared his loyalty to Dumbledore and the Order. Over the course of the school year, Dumbledore taught Harry about [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]]'s past and of the existence of his [[Horcrux]]es.
 
 
In the meantime, the Order kept watch at Hogwarts. However, [[Draco Malfoy]] managed to use a [[Vanishing Cabinet]] to get Death Eaters into the school, and the [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower]] ensued. Dumbledore was cornered by Malfoy, but the boy lowered his wand, and [[Severus Snape]] stepped in to kill Dumbledore. Not knowing that this was a plan Dumbledore and Snape had conceived earlier, nor of the headmaster's medical condition due to the [[Curse on Marvolo Gaunt's ring|curse]], the Order believed that they had been betrayed.<ref name="HBP" />
 
 
====Fall of the Ministry of Magic====
 
[[File:Kingley's_Patronus.jpg|thumb|Kingsley's Patronus warns the Order of the Ministry's downfall]]Now under the leadership of [[Alastor Moody]], the Order's next goal was to remove Harry from his [[Dursley family|relatives]]' [[4 Privet Drive|home]] before the protection offered by his mother's blood expired on his seventeenth [[31 July|birthday]]. Unfortunately, a number of the simpler solutions to the situation, such as [[Floo Powder]] or [[Apparition]] were unavailable due to monitoring by the Ministry, which was being infiltrated by the Death Eaters, and Harry, as an under-age wizard, still had [[The Trace|the trace]] on him. The Order also assigned two of its members, [[Dedalus Diggle]] and [[Hestia Jones]], to take Harry's [[Dursley family|relatives]] into hiding so that they could not be targeted by Death Eaters. Thus, the Order had to fly him out, using six decoys disguised as Harry with [[Polyjuice Potion]]. Despite being [[Battle of the Seven Potters|ambushed]] by over thirty Death Eaters and Voldemort himself, the Order managed to get Harry to safety at [[the Burrow]], their next headquarters since Snape knew of 12 Grimmauld Place. Sadly, Moody and Harry's owl, [[Hedwig]], were killed in the fray.
 
 
Five days later, on [[1 August]], [[1997]], the Death Eaters [[Fall of the Ministry of Magic|seized control]] of the Ministry. Scrimgeour was murdered and [[Pius Thicknesse]], who [[Yaxley]] had under the [[Imperius Curse]], was installed as Voldemort's puppet [[Minister for Magic]]. [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] managed to warn the Order of the coup by sending his [[Patronus Charms|Patronus]] to the Burrow, where Bill and Fleur's reception was being held. Various Order members were interrogated, but none were killed. In the meantime, Harry had vanished along with [[Hermione Granger]] and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]]. The three sought to find and destroy Voldemort's [[Horcrux]]es, a concept and mission of which the rest of the Order had not been informed.<ref name="DH" />
 
 
====Resistance====

We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.|Order members on ''[[Potterwatch]]'' in [[1998]]|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}}
 
 
[[File:Podcast_radio_icon_BIG.jpg|thumb|left|[[Potterwatch]]]]
 
 
While Voldemort controlled the Ministry, the Order members were fugitives. The [[Weasley family|Weasleys]] were kept under surveillance and the [[Taboo|Taboo curse]] was placed upon Voldemort's name, since only enemies of the Dark Lord were willing to speak it aloud. Kingsley was nearly caught after saying the name, but managed to fight off the Death Eaters that attacked him and went on the run. The Weasleys were also forced into hiding, after it was discovered that Ron was travelling with Harry, "Undesirable Number One," in the spring of [[1998]].
 
 
The Order led the underground resistance, participating in the radio programme ''[[Potterwatch]]'', which broadcast the truth while the ''[[Daily Prophet]]'' and other news outlets were controlled by the Ministry. The Order encouraged people to do as they were doing — protect innocent [[Muggle]]s from being harmed for the amusement of Death Eaters, and [[Muggle-born]]s who were being persecuted by the Ministry's new [[Muggle-Born Registration Commission]].

====Battle of Hogwarts====
 
{{Quote|We've only got half an hour until midnight, so we need to act fast. A battle plan has been agreed between the teachers of Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix... All right, leaders up here and we'll divide up the troops!|[[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] before the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}}
 
 
On [[2 May]], [[1998]], the Order received the call to arms from [[Neville Longbottom]], who was left leading [[Dumbledore's Army]] at the Death Eater-controlled [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. With the D.A., the Order of the Phoenix took a final stand against Voldemort and his army. They formulated the battle plan with the professors of Hogwarts, who led fighters to the three highest towers, while Kingsley, [[Remus Lupin]], and [[Arthur Weasley]] led troops to the school grounds, and [[Fred and George Weasley]] organised the defence of the entrances and passageways into the school.
 
 
The [[Battle of Hogwarts]] resulted in Order members [[Remus Lupin]], [[Nymphadora Tonks]], [[Severus Snape]] and [[Fred Weasley]] losing their lives, but they triumphed over the [[Death Eaters]], and Voldemort himself was defeated by [[Harry Potter]]. Tonks was killed by [[Bellatrix Lestrange]], Remus perished at the hands of [[Antonin Dolohov]] and Snape was fatally bitten by [[Nagini]] on Voldemort's orders

==Etymology==
 
[[File:Phoenix.jpg|thumb|left|170px|[[Fawkes]], Dumbledore's [[phoenix]].]]
 
The Order of the Phoenix is named for the [[Phoenix|magical bird]]. The Order's founder and original leader, [[Albus Dumbledore]], had a phoenix named [[Fawkes]] for pet, and his [[Patronus Charm|Patronus]] also took the form of a phoenix. Fawkes gave two feathers to comprise the [[wand core|cores]] of the [[wand]]s of [[Harry Potter]] and [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]]<ref name="PS">''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]''</ref>, key figures in the conflict between the Order and the [[Death Eaters]]. Fawkes also participated in the conflict at least twice: he came to Harry's aid against [[Slytherin's Basilisk]]<ref name="CS">''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''</ref>, and later at the battle of the Department of Mysteries intercepted a [[Killing Curse]] Voldemort aimed at Dumbledore<ref name="OTP" />.
 
 
In mythology, the [[Wikipedia:Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix]] often represents resurrection and life after death. This could allude to how the Order of the Phoenix was reborn after Voldemort returned to power, and how Harry Potter survived two [[Killing Curse]]s. The Order's name thus symbolises their opposition to an organisation focused on causing death and finding unnatural, [[Dark Arts|Dark]] methods of achieving immortality.
 
 
==Behind the scenes==
 
[[File:Alastor OOTP.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Alastor Moody]] [[Apparition|Apparating]] into the [[Department of Mysteries]].]]
 
*In the [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)|film adaptation]] of the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]], which differs significantly from the [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix|novel]] version, the Order of the Phoenix members [[Apparition|Apparate]] into the [[Department of Mysteries]], and save the [[Dumbledore's Army]] members by Apparating directly into the area where the [[Death Eaters]] holding them at wand-point.
 
*Also in the [[Harry Potter films|films]], Order members are shown as Apparating in clouds of white smoke, while the Death Eaters Apparate in clouds of black smoke. This may be a reference to the Death Eaters' use and corruption by Dark Magic, causing them to apparate in black smoke, as opposed to the white smoke of the Order members.
 
*[[Molly Weasley]] is not stated to have been a member of the original Order, despite her brothers being members. This is likely due to the fact that she gave birth to, and took care of, [[seven]] children during the course of the [[First Wizarding War]]<ref>Bill was born in [[1970]], which is approximately when the war began, and Ginny was born in [[1981]], two months before the end of the war.</ref>.
 
*If the list of members of the Order of the Phoenix, above, is complete, then the mortality rate (including permanent incapacitation) of members, during the First and Second Wizarding Wars combined, rivals that of the [http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/black-death.htm Black Death] in fourteenth-century Europe. About 44% of members died during the [[First Wizarding War]], and 26% were killed by Death Eaters during the course of the [[Second Wizarding War]].
 
*It may be that the Order of the Phoenix was inspired by the {{wplink|Fabian Society}}, where one of J.K. Rowling's professed favourite authors, {{wplink|Edith Nesbit}}, was a member. The argument is made more likely by the fact that several original members of the Order of the Phoenix seem to be named after members of the Fabian Society: [[Emmeline Vance]] for {{wplink|Emmeline Pankhurst}}, [[Fabian Prewett]] for the Fabian Society itself, [[Sturgis Podmore]] for {{wplink|Frank Podmore}}, and [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] for {{wplink|Kingsley Martin}}. The Fabian Society's members were also closely associated with a magical association called the {{wplink|Order of the Golden Dawn}}.
 
*It was also mentioned that [[Albus Dumbledore]] named the Order of the Phoenix after [[Fawkes]], his pet Phoenix.
