Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts, and he is preparing for the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams. He is also teaching his own Defense Against the Dark Arts class because the normal teacher Professor Umbridge, who is from the Ministry of Magic, doesn’t believe that Voldemort is back. Instead, she thinks that the headmaster, Dumbledore, is trying to make an army with the Hogwarts students so he can become Minister of Magic. Meanwhile, Snape is teaching Harry Occlumency(closing his mind). Harry saw in his head Mr.Weasley being attacked by a snake and Dumbledore doesn’t want Harry to see Voldemort’s visions. Harry sees a vision of Sirius (his godfather) in the Ministry of Magic being held by Voldemort. Harry flies to the ministry with his friends to rescue Sirius, only to find that he isn’t there. There are Death Eaters waiting for him, and there is a duel, then Sirius comes and gets hit by a killing curse. Dumbledore and Voldemort battle. When the minister arrives and sees Voldemort he has to believe that he is back.
