Harry is furious that he has been abandoned at the Dursleys` house for the summer, for he suspects that Voldemort is gathering an army, that he himself could be attacked, and that his so-called friends are keeping him in the dark. Finally rescued by wizard bodyguards, he discovers that Dumbledore is regrouping the Order of the Phoenix - a secret society first formed years ago to fight Voldemort. But the Ministry of Magic is against the Order, lies are being spread by the wizards` tabloid, the Daily Prophet, and Harry fears that he may have to take on this epic battle against evil alone.
