The Magical Diversion From the Typical Student The movie “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” is the fifth film in the Harry Potter series. It displays Voldemort’s return and the way it was treated by Hogwarts and everyone else.

His speech reiterates the fact that sometimes people are rebellious for the right reasons. A few scenes later, a new proclamation is made and it is also obvious that they are breaking the set rules of the school by creating a “student organization” with the risk of
