Dumbledore’s Army (D.A.) members are a group of twenty-eight Hogwarts’ students. They assemble, in secret, to practice the Defense Against the Dark Arts. The students no longer learn defensive spells in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. They must learn only the theory in class.

Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic have forbid the learning of spells. Also, students who belong to a group not approved, by the High Inquisitor (Professor Umbridge), will be expelled. Thus, the need for secrecy.

Dumbledore's Army members want to learn the Defense Against the Dark Arts, because they need the knowledge to pass their O.W.L.S. (Ordinary Wizardry Levels). The examination’s scores heavily affect their future. Also, they need the defense spells, because Lord Voldemort is back. Of course, the Ministry of Magic denies the Dark Lord’s return.

Harry Potter is elected the group’s leader. He finds the Room of Requirement. A room, a person can enter only when they really need it. The room formats itself to meet the person's needs. For Dumbledore’s Army, the room is spacious with Defense Against the Dark Arts books.

They call themselves Dumbledore’s Army, because such a group is the Ministry’s worst fear. The Ministry fears Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is recruiting an army of students. They believe he will use the army to remove Cornelius Fudge from his position. It is believed, Dumbledore wants to head the Ministry. Of course, it is the last thing on his mind.

The students take their studies seriously. They follow Harry Potter instructions and improve at every meeting. It is greatly stressed how well Neville Longbottom learns the spells. Often, he is a partner of Harry Potter.
