I've just been thinking, now that Dumbledore's dead, what will happen to the Order? I don't think they'll disband, Dumbledore wouldn't have wanted that. Who will be the new leader and Secret Keeper? I think it'll be McGonagall, she's stern and all business. Plus, she was Deputy Headmistress, so she'd be Dumbledore's second-in-command.
Oooh, good question! Im not sure about this one, maybe McGonagall but I would have thought she will take over as headmistress and therefore be too busy to take an active role in ootp. Thats if Hogwarts stays open of course.
Maybe it will be Moody or Lupin, I think Lupin could be a secret keeper anyway.
I don't think it will be Lumpin, he is with the warewolf, as far as I can recall, but may be he is not... still, it should be Hermione... he is the brainy one... I think she should be... _________________ Sonita
If Hogwarts stays open i really dont see how Mcgonagall will take the post.
Lupin seems like a great idea but we never know.
Hermione would be great but i just dont see it. They need someone more experiece in magic....(not that she isnt) _________________
Well we have Mad eye, Tonx, Molly, McGonagall, Bill and a couple more..... I think the leader would be someone who has been or is an auror? Mad eye is too crazy..... Mcgonagall is too busy if Hogwarts stays open..... Tonx has matured over the last year she could ???? Bill may not want to go back to his job looking scared and work for the order full time???? Now, Molly i think is too emotional..... Who ever is the new leader has a full time job on there hands !!!!!!! I think that if DD is dead and he has more than one portrait, i hope it is with the order of the pheonix that way he caqs advise the odder and Harry but is not a major char anymore...... As for Harry i think his involvement with the Order of the Pheonix is going to be limited..... DD did not tell anyone other than Harry about his outside work. Harry will continue in the same way?
Maybe Harry will run the order? _________________ "For too long we have been taught to praise the wrong heroes, thieves planting flags and murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams." ~ Peter S. Beagle
I don't think it will be Harry, he is too young, and right now has more sruff to think about than most of the wizards in the wirzarding world... _________________ Sonita
Harry won't run. No way! He's way too young! I think Lupin will or else they can work even without a leader. I mean, the members of the Order can work in turns or whatever they will do. It could also abolish but I don't think it will. _________________ Never miss a good chance to shut up!

Regulus's full name -
Regulus Arcturus Black
Could be R.A.B
ya and there's still at least one more order member that we haven't "met properly" according to JK.
[/spoiler]JK has said that we'll meet Albus Dumbledore's brother Aberforth in the seventh book, and he'll play an important role. _________________ Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure
I think there are a lot of possibilities from leadership of the Order, but I see the Weasley family as having several possibilities...Arthur, Molly, Bill...now that they're getting married, I think that Bill and/or Fleur could take it over together. I think many of the other non-Weasley suggestions are very good ones as well, but I just think many of the Weasleys would make great leaders of the OotP.
Bill and Fleur are quite young, so someone who's older would make a better leader. Arthur would be a good choice. Molly I feel is too emotional while Arthur is calm under any situation. Kingsley Shacklebolt is one of the senior Aurors in the Order, but he might be busy. Lupin, if he's not doing the undercover mission, might be leader. But of course, nobody can match Dumbledore. _________________ Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus
Will the leader be the Secret Keeper as well or will it be a different person?
The Order might do that to trick the Death Eaters, to protect the Secret Keeper. _________________ Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus
i think it will stay runnung and myabe professor mcgonnagal will take over it since she tokk over DDs post at school. and they will just try to keep voldemort at bay. _________________ I`m a prep!
Well, given that Arthur is over his ears with his work, I seriously doubt that he will take over... as for the rest... you all just gave reasons for not being in charge, specially Harry...
I think it will be DD's brother... _________________ Sonita

Reasons for not being in charge? Perhaps you didn't read properly. We also gave reasons for why some people would make good leaders. DD's brother is not someone everybody knows. Remember Mad-Eye in book 5? When he shows Harry the photo of the original Order he points to Aberforth(DD's bro) and says that was the only time he met him. Mad-Eye is a senior member in the Order and has met Aberforth only once? Just because he's DD's brother doesn't neccessarily make him eligible for leadership. And DD makes a critisicm about him. In book 4 he mentions that Aberforth was convicted for doing innapropriate charms on a goat. But he didn't care what people said in the paper, possibly because DD wasn't sure he could read. Can the Order have an illiterate leader? It has to be someone with courage, intelligence and the ability to motivate the members. Dumbledore is dead, and the Order are greatly weakened by this. They need somebody real good to lead them through the troubles that lie ahead. _________________ Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus

ywah, well, MAd Eye is crazy, Toks can't do a simple socks-folding charm work, I already said about Arthur, Molly is too emotive and Bill is too young. McGonagall is too busy... right now, I can't think of anyone else, and I have to go... but I think there is no one elft... _________________ Sonita
personally...i think that Harry woul dbe a great leader for the Order. He might be young, true..but he's the only one who's had multiple encounters with Voldemort. AND, hes got great motive and reason...Voldemort killed his parents, god father, and Dumbledore.
Thats just my opinion. But why he may be young age wise...he doesnt act lk a normal 16 yr old cos he's been forced to grow up.
Harry can't lead the Order. He's done a lot but that doesn't count. He would have to make decisons involving life and death. A mistake can result in the deaths of members. Harry is too emotional. He is short-tempered, as we have seen throughout the books. He also happens to be reckless. And his concern for the safety of others may result in him holding back, not sending the Order out on dangerous but important missions. Being a leader would invlove a lot of planning and coordination. Sometimes,he would have to spend time at Headquarters and not going into battle, which he would definiteley dislike. And last of all, he cannot be burdened with leadership of the Order because he has a task to fulfill, a secret mission only he can undertake:finding and destroying the Horcruxes. He has to be left alone to do that. _________________ Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus
I agree with Siddhu as well, although I'm not as convinced that some of the other people already mentioned couldn't lead the Order. I still think that Arthur Weasley would be a good candidate despite his work. After all, Dumbledore was running Hogwarts and still keeping the Order up...why couldn't someone else do such work as well?

Well that's Dumbledore isn't it? He's unique. Besides, McGonagall filled in for him and did a good job, but Arthur can't do that. Besides, Arthur's got a family(a large one) and so that's another burden. I agree however, that personality-wise he'll make a great leader. He's just got too much on his hands. _________________ Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus
I think its gonna be Lupin, coz he is the one wit the most experience and he is not crazy like Mad-Eye. And he is one of the few remainin people from the original Order, so he knows his job. _________________ I made this Sig
