Summary

Dementors attack Harry Potter and his cousin Dudley over the summer. Harry is expelled from Hogwarts after being forced to magically fend them off, but his expulsion is postponed until a hearing at the Ministry of Magic. A trio of Order of the Phoenix wizards transport Harry to Number 12, Grimmauld Place, Sirius Black's boyhood home.

The Order, according to Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, is a secret organization directed by Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore and committed to defeating Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Voldemort is on the lookout for something he lacked previous to his downfall, according to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny Weasley, and Fred and George Weasley. The Ministry, commanded by Cornelius Fudge, refuses to recognize Voldemort's reappearance and is waging a defamation campaign against Harry and Dumbledore. Dumbledore defends Harry during the hearing, and he is acquitted of all accusations.

Dolores Umbridge, a senior Ministry official, is appointed as the new Defense against the Dark Arts instructor at Hogwarts. She argues with Harry over Voldemort's reappearance and punishes him by having him draw lines with a pen that magically carves "I must not speak falsehoods" onto the back of his hand. When she refuses to teach Harry, Ron, and Hermione defensive magic, they start their own Defense organization with the support of other pupils. As the new High Inquisitor, Umbridge is given the authority by the Ministry to intervene at Hogwarts, and she bans unregistered clubs, forcing Dumbledore's Army to assemble in secret to practice under Harry's instruction in the Room of Requisition

Harry sees Voldemort's serpent Nagini violently assaulting Arthur Weasley one night. Arthur is rescued when Harry alerts Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore. Professor Snape, a member of the Order, is assigned to instruct Harry Occlumency in order to protect his mind from Voldemort's invasions. Dumbledore's Army is finally discovered by Umbridge, and in order to avoid Harry's expulsion, Dumbledore assumes command of the organization and flees into hiding. Umbridge is appointed Headmistress, although she is denied access to Dumbledore's former office.

Harry's Occlumency classes are a disaster. Snape is summoned away during one session, leaving Harry alone with the Pensieve. Snape's recollection of his father, James Potter, and Sirius Black abusing and humiliating Snape at school is shown in it. Snape catches Harry and abruptly terminates the session. During examinations, Harry gets a vision of Sirius being tortured by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries, and Harry makes no more attempt to safeguard his thoughts. To contact Grimmauld Place, Harry utilizes the floo network in Umbridge's fireplace. Sirius' house-elf, Kreacher, believes he has left.

Umbridge apprehends Harry and demands that Snape interview him using Veritaserum, which he says he no longer has. Harry informs Snape about Sirius in a sneaky manner, which Snape swears he doesn't comprehend. Umbridge admits that she orchestrated the Dementor attack on Harry, and she chooses to use the Cruciatus Curse to interrogate him. Hermione steps in and persuades Umbridge that Dumbledore's secret weapon is hidden somewhere in the Forbidden Forest. She is led into the domain of the centaurs by Harry and Hermione. They kidnap Umbridge after she irritates them.

Harry and Hermione manage to get away from the centaurs. They are joined by Luna, Ron, Ginny, and Neville, and they fly to the Ministry on Thestrals to save Sirius. In the Department of Mysteries, they can't find him, but they do find a glass sphere with Harry's and Voldemort's names on it. Death Eaters headed by Lucius Malfoy assault them, revealing that Harry was duped into coming here with a phony vision in order to get the sphere, which is exactly what Voldemort is looking for - a recording of a prophecy about Harry and Voldemort.

Members of the Order of the Phoenix arrive and fight the Death Eaters. During the battle, Neville breaks the prophecy by mistake, and Bellatrix Lestrange murders Sirius. Harry pursues her, but he is no match for her. Voldemort arrives to assassinate Harry, but Dumbledore enters and battles Voldemort to a draw. In an effort to persuade Dumbledore to kill Harry, Voldemort takes control of Harry, but Harry fights back, forcing Voldemort out just before Fudge arrives. Fudge acknowledges the truth after seeing Voldemort.

Dumbledore says in his office that Snape had recognized Harry's warning and contacted the Order. Dumbledore also mentions that Kreacher informed Lucius' wife, Narcissa, of Harry and Sirius' friendship, which Voldemort exploited. Dumbledore also informs that Harry is safe from Voldemort with the Dursleys, as Petunia, Lily's sister, seals Harry's mother's protection by taking him in.

Dumbledore also exposes the details of the prophecy, which predicted the birth of a person who would be able to vanquish Voldemort. Part of the prophecy was overheard by one of Voldemort's servants, who notified Voldemort, who subsequently attempted to kill the newborn Harry. The rest of the prophecy, which Voldemort missed, said that Voldemort would treat his opponent as an equal and that one of them would finally murder the other.

Harry becomes morose as a result of the prophecy and the loss of Sirius, despite the fact that the wizarding society now holds him in high regard. Harry returns to the Dursleys, spurred on by his cronies.
