In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix(TM), Harry returns
for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts only to discover that much
of the wizarding community has been led to believe that the story
of the teenager's recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort is
a lie, putting Harry's integrity in question. Worse, the Minister
for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has appointed a new Defense Against
the Dark Arts teacher, the duplicitous Professor Dolores Umbridge.
But Professor Umbridge's "Ministry-approved" course of defensive
magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend
themselves against the Dark Forces threatening them, so at the
prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry is convinced to
take matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small
group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry
teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts,
preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary
battle that lies ahead.
