Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Scene 15 Summary

  • Harry tells their group that they need to find a place to practice where Umbridge can't find them. This is gonna be tough.
  • Luckily, Neville Longbottom stumbles across the Room of Requirement. It's a magical room that appears when you need it and just so happens to be perfectly equipped for their training. Gee thanks, Hogwarts.
  • Dumbledore's Army meets to practice defensive spells with Harry as their teacher day after day, but Umbridge obviously suspects they're up to something.
  • She tries to get Mr. Filch to catch them in the act. She also uses Educational Decrees to outlaw student organizations and to get students to submit to questioning. She also starts up her own Inquisitorial Squad. The Slytherins all join. Of course.
  • Meanwhile, the members of Dumbledore's Army are making a lot of progress. Harry tells his pupils that all great wizards started out as students.
  • They need to believe in themselves and they can achieve anything. Great pep talk, teach!
