Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Gary Oldman as Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Order of the PhoenixWith Lord Voldemort restored, Dumbledore reactivates the Order of the Phoenix. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius takes refuge in his ancient family home at 12, Grimmauld Place in London. As the last Black, Sirius inherited the property and allows it to be used as the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, although it has fallen into disrepair. Magic hides its location. Due to the ongoing manhunt, Sirius is effectively confined there, even though Order member Kingsley Shacklebolt, who is a Ministry Auror and is in charge of the hunt for Sirius, knows Sirius is innocent. However, due to the Ministry of Magic's anti-Dumbledore stance and because Peter Pettigrew has informed Voldemort of Sirius's dog disguise, it is too dangerous for him to be in public. His confinement causes depression, and he is frequently withdrawn and antagonistic – especially so by Severus Snape's increasingly important role within the Order. The hostility between himself and Kreacher, his demented house-elf (who blames Sirius for the suffering he caused his mother, Walburga, whom Kreacher revered) also affects him. When he briefly leaves the house to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione off to Hogwarts, his Animagus form is recognised by Draco and Lucius Malfoy, resulting in more threats and warnings. Harry and Sirius stay in touch through owls and the Floo Network, a system to communicate through fireplaces. Sirius is nearly captured by Dolores Umbridge, a ministry official who was monitoring the Network and the owl mail in and out of Hogwarts. Despite his limited mobility, Sirius remains determined to help expose Voldemort and protect Harry, and he is ready to fight whenever needed.
Sirius acts as a father/older brother figure to Harry throughout the fifth book. Fun-loving, bold, and reckless, he encourages Harry to oppose Professor Umbridge and her reforms and strongly approves of Harry starting the secret Defensive tutorial group for students. He also demonstrates a high-level of trust in and respect for Harry, willingly answering the latter’s questions about the Order of the Phoenix and Voldemort. Lupin and other characters (such as Molly Weasley, Ron's mother) express disapproval for Sirius's behaviour around Harry, saying that Sirius behaves with Harry as he did with James, Harry's father, and that this is inappropriate.
With his growing power, Voldemort implants a false vision into Harry's mind that Sirius is captive at the Department of Mysteries. Convinced that Sirius is being tortured, Harry, along with Ron, Hermione and three other students (Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood), fly to London on Thestrals. They enter the deserted Ministry of Magic and gain access to the Department of Mysteries. When they're ambushed by Death Eaters, Harry realises Voldemort lured him into a trap, and he and his friends are plunged into a desperate fight for survival.
It is Snape who saves them; he alerts the Order that the students are missing and have probably gone to rescue Sirius (whom Snape already knows is safe). The Order immediately sends a rescue team; amongst them is Sirius. The Order battles the Death Eaters in “the Death Room”, a dungeon housing a mysterious Veil between Life and Death. During a frenzied duel with his hated cousin Bellatrix, Sirius stands in front of the Veil, taunting her for failing to harm him. It is notable that in the film, Sirius mistakenly refers to Harry as James during this fight, a slip of the tongue that does not occur in the book. She strikes him with a spell which knocks him backwards through the Veil. Harry tries to rescue him, but Lupin forcefully stops him, insisting Black is dead. Harry tries – and fails – to get revenge on Bellatrix, only to be interrupted by Lord Voldemort's arrival. After a short battle between Voldemort and Dumbledore, Voldemort flees, but not before being seen by the Minister for Magic and other ministry officials. As a result, the Ministry abandons its stance that Voldemort has not returned, and Albus Dumbledore is trusted once more. He, in turn, persuades the Minister that Black is innocent. By the following book, Black is exonerated; unfortunately for Sirius, it is far too late. Harry is left to mourn Sirius, reflecting that, despite his flaws, he was a loving and protective godfather, and the closest thing he had to a real father.
As stated by JK Rowling during the BBC Paxman interview, 2003, Sirius Black is "definitely dead."[4] She has created further intrigue, however, by making a cryptic reference to the communication mirror Sirius gave to Harry before he died: "The mirror might not have helped as much as you think, but on the other hand, will help more than you think. You’ll have to read the final book to understand that!"[5] In the final book, Aberforth Dumbledore uses the two-way mirror - which he bought off Mundungus Fletcher a year prior - to see Harry in the Malfoy cellars, which enables Aberforth to send Dobby to rescue Harry
