The Order of the Phoenix is a secret society in the Wizarding community. Professor Albus Dumbledore is the founder. He is the leader of the original Order of the Phoenix. The witches and wizards fight You-Know-Who in the first Wizarding war.

The original Order of the Phoenix members are an odd assortment of witches and wizards. They have different occupations. This is a good thing, because they use their different skills against the Dark Lord.

There are different segments of the Order of the Phoenix. Some members spy on Death Eaters. Others battle the Death Eaters and cronies. There are members of the Order of the Phoenix who are teachers. Like a true army, there is a recruitment division, too.

Some of the Original Order of the Phoenix members are dead or invalids. Dorcas Meadowes, as well as James and Lily Potter, was personally killed by the Dark Lord. Death Eaters killed Marlene McKinnon and Edgar Bones. The Prewett brothers: Gideon and Fabian were victims, too. Alice and Frank Longbottom, tortured, went insane.

There are members who left the Order of the Phoenix. Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) willingly became a disciple of the Dark Lord. He betrayed the Potter family. Benjy Fenwick died with only bits of his body found. Caradoc Dearborn just vanished from sight.

The group is forever evolving. Professor Severus Snape, a former Death Eater, is now a member of the Order of the Phoenix. There are some who were too young to join the original group. Nymphadora Tonks is an example.
