Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry's link to Voldemort becomes ever more pronounced throughout the fifth year when the dark wizard's feelings filter through to Harry's mind.  Harry’s lightning scar burns more fiercely than ever before.  Since the end of the fourth year and the gruesome finale to the Tri-Wizard Tournament, Cornelius Fudge has been strongly denying the return of Lord Voldemort.  Because of Dumbledore disagrees with Fudge, he is stripped of many official honors, including the Order of Merlin, First Class and the position of Supreme Mugwump of the Wizengamot. Minister Fudge is convinced Dumbledore is trying to steal his job even though the Headmaster of Hogwarts was offered the post first and declined.  They try to discredit Harry presenting him as delusional and an attention seeker.  Not many people in the wizarding world believe that Voldemort has returned mainly because, like Fudge, they do not want to believe it.

Besides having all this to deal with, Harry and his friends are facing their hardest school year yet as they prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Level exams.  The Ministry, in an attempt to interfere with the running of Hogwarts, appoints his own undersecretary as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.  She issues a number of decrees to increase her authority, growing ever wilder as the year goes on.  Harry, his friends, and a group dedicated to the downfall of Lord Voldemort form the Order of the Phoenix.  Led and protected by Albus Dumbledore, they attempt to follow the movements of the Dark Lord and his followers.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

The War Against Lord Voldemort is not going well; even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of the Daily Prophet, looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses.

 And yet…

As in all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to appreciate-and loose a few eyebrows in the process. The Weasly twins expand their business.  Classes are never straightforward, though Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince.

 So it’s home front that takes center stage in the multilayered  sixth installment if the story of Harry Potter. Here at Hogwarts, Harry wi­ll search  for the full and complex story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort- and thereby find what may be his only vulnerability
