Alfie Campbell: What's the Order of the Phoenix?

Hermione Granger: ''It's a secret society. Dumbledore's in charge, he founded it. It's the people who fought against You-Know-Who last time.''

Hermione Granger on the Order

The Order of the Phoenix was a secret society founded in 1970 by Albus Dumbledore. It was created to stop the Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort from destroying both the wizarding and Muggle worlds. It was constructed after Lord Voldemort returned to Britain from abroad and started to take over the Ministry of Magic and Muggle-borns. The Order helped the Ministry defeat Voldemort in the First Wizarding War.
