A super short post today, based on the Order of the Pheonix
The Order of the Phoenix is the organisation that was formed to fight Voldemort and his forces. It has two different versions, the original which included Harry’s parents, during the first wizarding war, and then the second during Voldemort’s second rise to power and then death.
The original members were:
James and Lily Potter
Frank and Alice Longbottom
Sirius Black
The Prewett Brothers
Mad Eye Moody
Marlene Mckinnon
Remus Lupin
Peter Pettigrew
And others not listed
The second formation included:
The Weasley Family
Kingsley Shacklebot
Tonks
Sturgis Podmore
Emmeline Vance
Dumbledore
Professor McGonagall
Snape
Plus members from the original formation
I think it is worthy to remember that Harry and the members of Dumbledore’s Army were not part of the Order as they were too young.
Harry was old enough to die for the cause, but not old enough to officially join… That always burned my ass.

Well I guess in the finaly book he was old enough and so were Ron and Hermione but still they were babies haha

I think some of those mentioned in the second lineup were also in the first…I would have to look it up again to make sure, but remember when Mad-Eye showed Harry that photo of the original Order members, I think some of the names from the second list were in that picture as well…plus of course Dumbledore would have been in both, since he’s the whole reason it was called the Order of the Phoenix in the first place (he named the group that because of Fawkes, naturally). What about Amelia Bones? Was she in the original Order? I always thought she was, for some reason, or in one of the versions anyway, before Voldemort killed her the summer before Harry’s sixth year (remember she was one of the two people killed that summer that was actually reported in the Muggle paper, the other was Emmaline Vance). You’d think as many times as I’ve read the books, I’d remember little details like that. 😛

You could very well be corrrect. This letter didnt get a lot of my attention to be honest haha. But if someone was an original member I didn’t include them in the 2nd list.

Okay, I wasn’t sure. I’ve read the books so many times, and even have the original Order members all written down somewhere, but couldn’t remember them all off the top of my head.
