A secret order in the Harry Potter universe created by JK Rowling. The Order's goal was to oppose the evil Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters and eventually bring about their demise. The first order was founded in 1970 by Albus Dumbledore, during the First Wizarding War. Many of the Order's original members died during this time, murdered by either Death Eaters or by Voldemort himself. It was dissolved in 1981 when Voldemort was 'killed'. However, during the Second Wizarding War the Order of the Phoenix was restarted in 1995. During this time it was headed by Albus Dumbledore, Mad-Eye Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt, respectively. The headquarters of the Order were either Number 12 Grimmauld Place or the Weasley's family home 'the Burrow'. The aim of the Order was to protect the Wizarding and Muggle world from Voldemort and his followers. During the First and Second Wizarding Wars, the Ministry of Magic attempted to dissolve the Order, forcing it's members to go underground. They maintained affiliations with Dumbledore's Army during the Second Wizarding War. In the end, the Order lost many of it's members, including: Albus Dumbledore, Mad-Eye Moody, Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Frank and Alice Longbottom and James and Lily Potter (not in that order).
Hogwarts student: I hear that Ministry has attempted to disband the Order of the Phoenix. They claim there's no threat from You-Know-Who.
Friend: What's the Order of the Phoenix?
Hogwarts student: A secret society that no one knows about...well, almost no one.

Get the Order of the Phoenix mug.An extremely awesome show on NBC and TNT that revolves around New York City homicide detectives catching criminals and prosecutors sending them to prison. Unlike shows like CSI where police procedure is all done by one group, Law and Order is more realistic, as the detectives rely on separate forensic and crime scene units as well as investigating the crime themselves.
Law and Order has been on the air since 1990 and has spawned several spin-offs, including Law and Order: SVU and Law and Order: Criminal Intent. However, only the original featured Lennie Briscoe, possibly the baddest motherfucker on the planet.

Every Law and Order episode begins with the following opener: "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."
