Thanks to her testimony and Dumbledore’s support, Harry is cleared of all charges. His neighbor, Arabella Figg, is a squib and knows Dumbledore well enough to testify on his behalf. Although Fudge is determined to get Harry expelled, Harry has an eyewitness who can prove that he cast the spell out of self-defense. The rebellion is kept secret from the Ministry, which is led by Fudge, who insists that Harry and Dumbledore are delusional about Voldemort returning and that he has not returned. It’s also the base of a group of rebels who fight against evil wizards, led by Dumbledore.
Harry is then taken to his godfather’s house in London. If found guilty, he will be expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Harry uses magic to drive them away, but then he has to go before the Ministry of Magic for a hearing because they can’t let him use magic outside school. Suddenly one night a group of dementors attack him and Dudley, sucking out their souls. He’s angry that his friends aren’t sending him any news about the war against Voldemort. Harry is forced to spend another summer in the Dursley house, which he hates. Ages 9-12.1-Page Summary of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Overview (The author also draws some insightful parallels between the Ministry's exercise of power and the current political climate.) As hope blooms at story's end, those who have followed Harry thus far will be every bit as eager to discover what happens to him in his sixth and seventh years. Harry suffers a loss and learns some unpleasant truths about his father, which result in his compassion for some unlikely characters. Rowling favors psychological development over plot development here, skillfully exploring the effects of Harry's fall from popularity and the often isolating feelings of adolescence. But the showdown between Harry and Voldemort feels curiously anticlimactic after the stunning clash at the close of book four. Readers get to discover the purpose behind the Order of the Phoenix and more is revealed of the connection between Harry and You-Know-Who. And Harry's romance with his crush from the last book, Cho Chang, turns out to be a major waterworks (she cries when she's happy, she cries shen she's sad). She bans him from the Quidditch team (resulting in minimal action on the pitch) and keeps a tight watch on him. A hateful woman from the Ministry of Magic, Dolores Umbridge (who, along with minister Cornelius Fudge nearly succeeds in expelling Harry from Hogwarts before the start of the school year), overtakes Hogwarts GrandPr 's toadlike portrait of her is priceless and makes life even more miserable for him. Aside from an early skirmish with a pair of dementors, in which Harry finds himself in the position of defending not only himself but his dreaded cousin, Dudley, there is little action until the end of these nearly 900 pages.
When he reunites with them at last, he learns that The Daily Prophet has launched a smear campaign to discredit Harry's and Dumbledore's report of Voldemort's reappearance at the end of book four, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Rowling may be relying upon readers to have solidified their liking for her hero in the first four books, because the 15-year-old Harry Potter they meet here is quite dour after a summer at the Dursleys' house on Privet Drive, with no word from pals Hermione or Ron. Year five at Hogwarts is no fun for Harry.
