Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix recap
The Ministry of Magic refuses to believe Voldemort has returned and smears Harry and Dumbledore. Harry is nearly expelled for using magic against Dementors. Sirius's old house is headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's secret society. The Ministry installs Dolores Umbridge at Hogwarts, who bans practical magic and punishes Harry cruelly, so Harry teaches his friends in secret as Dumbledore's Army. Harry shares visions with Voldemort, saves Ron's father Arthur from a snake attack, and takes lessons from Snape to close his mind. Umbridge drives out Dumbledore and takes over the school. Then Harry has a vision of Sirius being tortured at the Ministry.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ending explained
The vision is a trap. In the Department of Mysteries, Harry and his friends fight Death Eaters over a prophecy about him, the Order arrives, and Bellatrix Lestrange kills Sirius. Dumbledore duels Voldemort in the Ministry atrium, and the Minister sees Voldemort with his own eyes. Dumbledore tells Harry the prophecy: one of them must kill the other.
