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. In the first book, when he recalls the memory, he remembers Aunt Petunia being very frightened. 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.

| Allegiance | Order of the Phoenix |
| First appearance | Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix |
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. (This is played upon as she is first seen near a toaster.)
[edit] Frank and Alice Longbottom
| Harry Potter character | |
|---|---|
| Frank and Alice Longbottom | |
| Gender | Male and Female |
| Hair colour | Unknown/Grey |
| House | Unknown (Possibly Gryffindor) |
| Parentage | Pure-blood |
| Allegiance | None (formerly Order of the Phoenix) |
| First appearance | Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Mentioned in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) |
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, was cut short, as Frank and Alice were tortured into insanity with the Cruciatus Curse by a group of Death Eaters including Bartemius Crouch Jr, led by Bellatrix Lestrange, sending Neville to his grandmother's while his parents were permanently admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. 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. Neville's mother does not recognize him as her son (nor does Frank), but rather recognises 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 author J.K. Rowling, in which she stated the event has no further implications towards the plot of the story.[1]
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.

Sturgis Podmore’s (born ca. 1957) activities in the first Order are unknown other than the fact that he was one of the few members that did not die or lose their senses. In the reconstituted Order, he was at the Ministry of Magic guarding the Prophecy until he was arrested by a Ministry of Magic security guard for trying to break into the Department of Mysteries, and was sentenced to Azkaban for six months. Harry, Ron and Hermione speculated that he had been placed under the Imperius Curse by the Death Eaters, although this was never proven.

Emmeline Vance was a stately-looking witch and part of the advance guard that helped Harry Potter escape from his family, the Dursleys. She was seen wearing an emerald green shawl. She was one of the few surviving members of the original Order of the Phoenix.
She was captured and killed by the Death Eaters in the summer of 1996 on information that Severus Snape claimed to have given. According to Cornelius Fudge, the recently-dismissed Minister for Magic, in conversation with the Muggle Prime Minister, her murder happened "just round the corner from [his office]".
