Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses. ‘It is time.’ He said, ‘for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything.’ Harry finally finds out the truth, that is were in fact this whole book is about. Write a short summary of this book Harry is about to start his 5th year at Hogwarts. When dementors attack Dudley at Privat Drive. Harry uses the patronus charm to make them go away. He has to go to the ministry for a trial, he doesn’t get expelled from Hogwarts. Mister Weasley takes Harry with him to the headquarter of the order of the phoenix. When they get back at school, Hagrid isn’t there and there’s another teachter: professor Umbridge. She’s from the ministry of magic. She gets more and more power at the school and even becomes headmaster. Dumbledore gets expelled, because the ministry doesn’t want him to spread around that Voldemort has returned. According to Umbridge, the students aren’t allowed to practise defence against dark arts anymore, but Harry, Hermione and Ron start a club with many others were they do practise it. They call themselves Dumbledores Army. Harry gets ‘dreams’. He sees things happening and in his dream he walks trough te ministry searching for something, but he doesn’t know what. Dumbledore and Sirius think it’s Voldemort, trying to get into Harry’s thoughts. Snape has to learn him occlumency. But Harry doesn’t practise well enough. One night, Harry sees in his dream that Voldemort and the deatheaters are torturing Sirius at the ministry. The members of the DA flie on Theastrals to the ministry. There they notice it’s a trap, Sirius isn’t there, but the deatheaters are. The members of the DA fight against them. They become to strong, but then the members of the order of the phoenix come and help them. During the fight, Sirius gets killed. Voldemort wants Harry to open something. It’s a prophety, but it breaks. Voldemort gets really mad, and tries to posses Harry and kill him. But Dumbledore fights against him. Voldemort escapes. Minister Fudge saw Voldemort, so now he believes he has returned. Back at school, Harry is very sad and angry that Sirius died. He was the only one he really loved. Dumbledore tells him the truth about everything, about his whole live. The prophethy was made before Harry was born. It said that there would come a boy who had the power to vanquish the dark lord. The dark lord would mark him as his equal, but he would have powers, the lord would not know. Neighter of them could live, while the other survived. That boy is Harry. So unless Harry kills Voldemort, Voldemort will kill Harry. The year is now over and now the ministry believes that Voldemort has returned, they start to convince all the wizard that Dumbledore and Harry (and others) were right. They must fight against Voldemort. Harry has to go back to Privat Drive during the summer, but the whole order will be looking after him.
