	Movies - Minor members of the Order of the Phoenix

This article is about minor members of the Order of the Phoenix from the Harry Potter books. The Order is a society formed by Albus Dumbledore to fight against Lord Voldemort.

Edgar Bones

Edgar Bones was a member of the Order of the Phoenix in the 1970s who was killed, with his wife and children, by a Death Eater. Hagrid considered the Bones family to be among the best witches and wizards of the age, and Alastor Moody said that "he was a great wizard."

Edgar Bones is the brother of Amelia Bones. His niece, Susan Bones, is a Hufflepuff girl in Harry Potter's year.

Dedalus Diggle

Dedalus Diggle is a wizard and a member of the Order of the Phoenix and part of the Advance Guard who helped Harry Potter escape from the Dursleys' house. Harry also remembers Diggle as bowing to him once outside a shop. Harry met Diggle in the Leaky Cauldron in Philosopher's Stone. He can be seen in that scene in the movie. Diggle was described by Minerva McGonagall as "never having had much sense", after, on the night of November 1, 1981, he released shooting stars over Kent to celebrate the downfall of Lord Voldemort. Diggle wears a violet suit with matching top hat, with a small flower tucked into the brim.

Elphias Doge

Elphias Doge is present at the company that comes to collect Harry and take him to Grimmauld Place. He is described as being "wheezy-voiced" and "silver-haired". It is also known (according to Moody) that Elphias Doge used to wear a "stupid hat".

Hestia Jones

Hestia Jones is a pink-cheeked, black-haired witch who is part of the advance guard that helps Harry Potter in his escape from the Dursleys. She is a new member of the Order of the Phoenix. The morning after Harry arrived at headquarters she was standing guard at the Department of Mysteries after Kingsley Shacklebolt's night shift. She is supportive of Dumbledore and believed him when he said Lord Voldemort returned. Her name comes from the Greek goddess Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and protector of the home.

Frank and Alice Longbottom

Frank and Alice Longbottom are the parents of Neville Longbottom, a Gryffindor boy in the same year as Harry Potter at Hogwarts. Along with Alastor Moody, they are remembered as being two of the greatest Aurors the Ministry ever had.

Their success, however, could only last so long, and it wasn't long before Frank and Alice were tortured into insanity by a group of Death Eaters including Bartemious Crouch Jr., led by Bellatrix Lestrange, sending Neville to his grandmother's while his parents went to St. Mungo's where they have resided ever since. Their torture is remembered by the Order as one of the most horrific crimes committed by Voldemort's followers, as the pain inflicted on them was so overwhelming that it reduced two of the greatest minds the Order had ever had to nothing but childlike dregs of their former selves.

Neville and his grandmother visit Frank and Alice over the holidays. Ironically, Neville's mother does not recognize him as her son (nor does Frank), but rather recognizes Neville as someone she likes. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Alice gives Neville a Droobles bubblegum wrapper during his visit at Christmas break and Neville puts it in his pocket even though his grandmother tells him to throw it away. The significance of this incident was hotly debated by fans, but this debate has recently been put to rest in an interview with Rowling, in which she states the event has no further implications towards the plot of the story.

Frank's wand was used by Neville while he attended Hogwarts until it was broken in Order of the Phoenix in the Department of Mysteries, by the Death Eater Antonin Dolohov.

Marlene McKinnon

Marlene McKinnon is introduced to the reader in a photograph of the orignial members of the Order of the Phoenix. She was killed by Death Eaters (among them Travers, according to Igor Karkaroff) together with her whole family, two weeks after the photo was taken. Hagrid considered her one of the best witches of the age.
