The Order of the Phoenix is a secret society in Harry Potter founded by Dumbledore to fight Voldemort and his Death Eaters. But who are the most powerful members?
What sets the Order of the Phoenix apart? The secret society consists of witches, wizards and other magical beings. Members often risk their lives to counter Voldemort and protect Hogwarts and innocent Muggles.
There is the 1st Order, which was active during the first war (1970s) against Voldemort, and the 2nd Order, which reunited after Voldemort’s return in 1995. The Order has its headquarters at 12 Grimmauld Place, the former home of Sirius Black.
Only adult witches and wizards who are at least 17 years old and no longer go to school are allowed to become members of the Order of the Phoenix.
How was the ranking created? The ranking was created by MeinMMO author Fabienne Kissel. She has been a big Harry Potter fan for a long time and is a member of House Hufflepuff. She watches the films again every year.
Small note: In this ranking we concentrate on the members of the 2nd order.
Beware of spoilers: Various events from films and books are spoiled.
Honorable Mentions (Second Order)
7th place: Sirius Black
Sirius Black was an important fighter in the Order of the Phoenix, in both the first and second wars against Voldemort. In the first war he fought alongside James Potter and the other Order members against the Death Eaters. After being falsely blamed for betraying the Potters and sent to Azkaban, he later escaped and ultimately rejoined the Order.
Sirius is a skilled duelist and knows many spells that aid him in battle. His Animagus ability – transforming into a large black dog – has also saved his life several times. He brings with him a lot of knowledge about the dark magic of his relatives and knows the strategies of the Death Eaters well.
He particularly showed his skills in the fight in the Department of Mysteries before he was tragically killed by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. He was a powerful wizard, a skilled duelist, and a loyal friend and ally in the fight against Voldemort.
6th place: Remus Lupin
Remus Lupine is a strong and important member of the Order of the Phoenix because he acts selflessly despite many personal challenges. As a werewolf, Lupine has had a difficult life, was often excluded and constantly had to deal with his dangerous side. Despite this, he has never lost his sense of justice and uses his talents to help others.
Lupine is a strong wizard, particularly in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and was a highly valued teacher at Hogwarts. Even though he sometimes doubts himself, he always shows great courage to protect his friends and the order.
During the second war he was a spy for the order. He lived among the werewolves and tried to convince them to join Dumbledore’s side. However, this was difficult because many werewolves were afraid of the Death Eater Fenrir Greyback.

5th place: Kingsley Shacklebolt
Kingsley Shacklebolt is an incredibly important part of the Order of the Phoenix. As a high-ranking Auror, he brings outstanding skills in the fight against the dark arts and also impresses with his calm and composure in difficult situations. His missions for the Order were often risky, as he worked undercover in the Ministry of Magic and passed on important information to his fellow members without ever arousing suspicion.
Kingsley is also a loyal and courageous fighter. He was one of the Aurors who escorted Harry safely out of Privet Drive, used his Patronus to warn guests at the Weasley wedding about the Death Eaters, and fought bravely in the Battle of Hogwarts. After Voldemort’s fall, he became Minister for Magic and worked with Harry, Ron and Hermione to reform the Ministry and rid it of corruption.
