The Order of the Phoenix Park

The Magazine Fort, constructed in with additions in , was a major military institution from which small arms, munitions and gunpowder were distributed to other military barracks in the Dublin area.

Mountjoy Cavalry Barracks formerly the home of Luke Gardiner, one of the Keepers of the Park and the Royal Military Infirmary were two further buildings constructed during the eighteenth century, in and respectively. The role of the Salute Battery for firing cannon on Royal and other special occasions , situated in the environs of the Wellington Testimonial, was discontinued, and the lands it occupied within the Park subsequently became known as the Wellington Fields, and on which the Wellington Testimonial was erected.

All the important lodges and accompanying demesnes, which were originally occupied by Park Rangers or Keepers, were purchased for Government use as private dwellings for the chief officers of state.

History | Phoenix Park

Burton produced a master plan for the Park which included the building of new gate lodges, the removal and levelling of old hedgerows and shooting butts, tree planting in strategic locations, drainage, the restoration of the boundary wall, creation and realignment of the Park roads, which included Chesterfield Avenue. This latter project involved the relocation of the Phoenix Column on the main avenue. Further improvements were undertaken following the transfer of management of the Phoenix Park to the Office of Public Works in , the first of which included the completion of the outstanding works associated with the Wellington Testimonial which was commenced in Two further memorials of considerable artistic merit were unveiled: Both of which were sculpted by John Henry Foley.

From the s and particularly after the s, sporting and recreational activities became prominent. The presence of the police became more prominent, as illustrated by the construction in of the Royal Irish Constabulary depot near the North Circular Road entrance to the Park, and two police barracks — one at Ashtown Gate and the other at Parkgate Street. The history and landscape management of the Phoenix Park in the twentieth century is characterised primarily by the replanting of trees and shrubs that took place in the first decade, due to the great storm in which was responsible for the demise of nearly 3, trees.

The adaptation was released on the 11 July , and the script was written by Michael Goldenberg. In the wake of Cedric Diggory 's death and Lord Voldemort 's return , Harry Potter is worried that things could get worse. As he and his cousin Dudley are walking home from the park following Dudley's antagonising Harry in front of his friends , they are attacked by Dementors and Harry casts a Patronus Charm to save them both from the Dementor's Kiss.

What are all those buildings in the Phoenix Park?

An extremely baffled Dudley is taken back to Privet Drive accompanied by Mrs Figg , a squib who is a neighbour of Harry and was told by Dumbledore to keep an eye on him. Later, a Howler from Mafalda Hopkirk of the Ministry arrives for Harry and tells him he is expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for using magic in front of a Muggle. The Order of the Phoenix comes and collects Harry while Alastor Moody reveals that Dumbledore ordered his expulsion order suspended in favour of a disciplinary hearing. The Order flies him to 12 Grimmauld Place to stay, where he finds out that Hermione and Ron's family are there, too.

Harry also has many nightmares about the events that had happened the previous year, including the death of Cedric Diggory and the rejuvenation of Voldemort. While at 12 Grimmauld Place, Harry's godfather Sirius Black mentions that Voldemort is after "something he didn't have last time.

At the Ministry, Dumbledore defends Harry's actions. The Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge denies Harry's answer to his question, regarding what actually took place on the night in question, leading to further arguments. Mrs Figg gives testimony as a witness of the event. Dumbledore tells Fudge that Voldemort could be behind the Dementor attack, but Fudge refuses to believe that Voldemort is back. In the end, Harry is cleared of all charges, because Dumbledore reminds them that, expelling him from the school for using a charm to defend himself against Dementors is unjustifiable, as it is not forbidden for even an underage wizard to use magic in a matter of life or death.

It is apparent that she is there as a puppet of the Ministry Magic, their way of interfering at Hogwarts and keeping rumours about Lord Voldemort 's return from spreading. When Harry insists that Voldemort's return is not a lie and that he saw him, Umbridge gives him detention which consists of making him write "I must not tell lies" repeatedly with a special quill that takes the writing out of his hand, writing it in blood.

This proves to be the beginning of Dolores Umbridge's abuses of power as the Ministry of Magic's "high inquisitor"; she introduces restriction after restriction, as well as "evaluating" teachers to determine if they're worthy of remaining at Hogwarts. This leads to her sacking Professor Trelawney, but she is stopped from throwing her out of Hogwarts altogether by Professor Dumbledore, who tells Professor McGonagall to escort Trelawney back inside. When Umbridge begins to argue about his actions, Dumbledore tells her that she has the right to sack teachers but not to banish them from the grounds.

At the same time, Dumbledore distances himself from Harry, knowing that Harry's mind is connected to Voldemort and can see visions of Voldemort when he gets a big emotional charge such as happiness or anger. In the face of Umbridge's corruption, refusal to actually teach Hogwarts students anything worthwhile in Defence Against the Dark Arts, and the Ministry of Magic's continued denial of Voldemort's return, the trio, along with many other Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff students, band together to form a group that comes to be known as "Dumbledore's Army" in honour of the headmaster who is presently on the receiving end of a smear campaign against him due to his insistence that Voldemort really has returned.

The DA members decide to find a secret place in the castle where all willing students can come and learn. Neville Longbottom finds the Room of Requirement, a hidden room in Hogwarts that gives those inside things they need. The students use the room to train, and Harry begins a relationship with Cho Chang.

Harry has a vision of an attack on Arthur Weasley in the Department of Mysteries, saving his life. Afterwards, Dumbledore instructs Snape to give him Occlumency lessons in order to block his mind from Voldemort's influence. The Occlumency lessons causes Harry to begin distancing himself from his friends. Simultaneously, Sirius's deranged cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, escapes from Azkaban prison along with nine other convicted Death Eaters. Umbridge, who had taken many of the acquaintances of Harry into questioning, finds out about how to get in the Room of Requirement through Cho, who she had illegally used Veritaserum on, and the Inquisitorial Squad consisting of Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, and a few others from Slytherin break in.
