She refuses to believe in VoldemortвЂ™s return, and clashes with Harry, punishing him by having him magically carve вЂњI must not tell liesвЂќ into the back of his hand. At the hearing, Dumbledore defends Harry, who is cleared of all charges.ДЄt Hogwarts,В Dolores Umbridge, a senior Ministry employee, becomes the newВ Defence Against the Dark ArtsВ teacher. The Ministry, led byВ Cornelius Fudge, refuses to accept VoldemortвЂ™s return, and are running aВ smear campaignВ against Harry and Dumbledore. Harry, Ron, Hermione,В Ginny WeasleyВ andВ Fred and George WeasleyВ learn that Voldemort is seeking something he lacked prior to his defeat. Ron WeasleyВ andВ Hermione GrangerВ explain that the Order is a secret organisation led by Hogwarts headmasterВ Albus Dumbledore, dedicated to fightingВ Lord VoldemortВ and theВ Death Eaters. Harry is whisked off toВ Number 12, Grimmauld Place, the childhood home ofВ Sirius Black, by a group of wizards belonging to theВ Order of the Phoenix. Forced to use magic to fend them off, Harry is expelled from Hogwarts, but his expulsion is postponed pending a hearing at theВ Ministry of Magic. STORY PLOTДuring the summer,В Harry PotterВ and his cousinВ DudleyВ are attacked byВ Dementors.

SheвЂ™s SiriusвЂ™ cousin, and is one of very few members of the Black family to disagree with their prejudiced and conservative views. She consistently proves her allegiance to the Order, from working long hours guarding the Department of Mysteries, to fighting in the battle at the Ministry, to helping make Number 12 Grimmauld Place an appropriate headquarters for the Order. In spite of her youth and free-spiritedness, however, Tonks is very intelligent and ambitious she is an Auror, a member of the magical secret police force, and has risen high in the ranks at a young age. Tonks is very lighthearted and humorous, and likes to change her appearance to make herself look silly to entertain the other members of the Order. SheвЂ™s one of the youngest members of the Order and is a Metamorphmagus, or a witch who can change her appearance at will.

Tonks prefers to be known by her last name only. For this, Harry attempts to perform the Cruciatus Curse on her. She is exceptionally cruel and devoted to Voldemort, and kills Sirius by cursing him and throwing him backwards through the arch. WhenВ HarryВ meets her in the Department of Mysteries, he thinks that she was once beautiful, but Azkaban robbed her of her looks. She escapes from Azkaban after Christmas with other Death Eaters and returns to serveВ Voldemort. One ofВ SiriusвЂ™s cousins and a prominent Death Eater. She also has hateful views towards magical creatures, and tries to exercise control over centaurs when they operate under a separate legal system. If they donвЂ™t, she dismisses them and treats them as inferior. When they speak out against her, she punishes them severely (she makes Harry write вЂњI must not tell liesвЂќ in his own blood when he tries to tell her that Voldemort has returned.) She is obsessed with power, assessing every single teacher at Hogwarts to see if they meet her skewed standards and if they agree with her beliefs. She refuses to teach the students actual defense magic and only teaches them theory. Professor Umbridge steps in as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher as a puppet of Fudge and denounces VoldemortвЂ™s return. During the final battle in the Ministry, she fights alongside the rest of the crew and defends them even when her own safety is compromised. She becomes close with the trio through DumbledoreвЂ™s Army, however, and grows very loyal to their cause. However, she isnвЂ™t really bothered by it, and is content to move around Hogwarts on her own. Because of her oddness, sheвЂ™s a bit of a social outcast and prior to the beginning of the novel doesnвЂ™t have many friends. SheвЂ™s close with her father, though, because her mother died when she was young and she is an only child. Her father is the editor ofВ The Quibbler, a magazine that discusses bizarre conspiracy theories and strange magical creatures, which has helped contribute to her oddness. SheвЂ™s very odd, believing in magical creatures that nobody else believes exist, and wears very eccentric clothes. Luna is introduced at the beginning of the novel, when the other Hogwarts students meet her on the train.
