	Movies - Kingsley Shacklebolt

Kingsley Shacklebolt is a member of the Order of the Phoenix in the Harry Potter series of books. He is a tall, bald black man who wears a golden earring and has a deep voice which J.K Rowling mentions several times as 'calming'.

Kingsley Shacklebolt is an Auror, who when he is first introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was acting as double agent for the Order within the Ministry of Magic. He was in charge of the search for Sirius Black in the Ministry, but knowing Sirius was innocent, Shacklebolt was supplying the Ministry false information that Sirius was in Tibet. Kingsley Shacklebolt knew James Potter, but it appears that he was not part of the original Order of the Phoenix.

Shacklebolt volunteered to be one of the members of the Advance Guard that escorted Harry Potter from the Dursleys' home to Number 12 Grimmauld Place during the summer of 1995.

Kingsley takes part in the battle at the Department of Mysteries, and appears to be very skilled at dueling as he is seen fighting two Death Eaters at once. After Sirius is killed, he continues the duel with Bellatrix Lestrange, during which Kingsley is hit by a spell that causes a 'loud bang' and he hits the ground 'screaming in pain'.

Kingsley recovers from his injuries, and in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince he works undercover as a secretary in one of the Prime Minister's offices, where he has secretly been assigned for the Prime Minister's protection. His only further appearance in the book is attending Albus Dumbledore's funeral at the end of the year.
