How come so few people went with harry to the department of mysteries when there were tons of DA members. Wouldnt you want more people with you when youre fighting voldemort?

harry didnt want to risk more lives, remember that he didnt even want to take neville, luna and ginny

also it had to be fast cause they had to save sirius and i dont think there were enough threstals to take all the DA anyway

neville, luna and ginny were the ones who sort of stayed true to the DA

Obviously, you're not listening. He. didn't. want. to. take. anyone. He only took the others along, because they wouldn't take no for an answer. He didn't even want Ron and Hermione to come along. It even says in the book that of all of the members of the DA, Ginny, Luna, and Nevilla would be the last ones that he would ask along on a dangerous trip. Besides, they all did a really good job.

Maybe Harry didnt want to take anyone else because he thought that they would try and turn him in to the ministry if they met sirius

I think it was pretty stupid. I know Harry just wanted everyone to be safe, but he needs to learn that other want to help as well.

Well.. it seemed to end up tuning out okay for HP and clan... minus Sirius, or course.

What struck me is how some of the most lethal members of the most feared wizarding terrorist group in Britain couldn't subdue six school-age students. The Death Eaters are blundering oafs throughout the series, why would Voldy entrust anything to them?

There are two types of Death Eaters: 1. Those whose principles are similar to Voldemort's: they hate Muggles and Muggleborns and want to eradicate them etc. 2. Wizards who aren't very bright and are looking for a bit of power.

The latter seems to be the majority, unluckily for Voldemort.

Aside from Lucious, Bellatrix, etc, most of the Death eaters are normal wizards. maybe even below average people. They aren't necessarily bright, or good wizards.

Plus, it doesn't say how many death eaters were there, does it? It could have been only 10 or so, who knows?

I think the biggest reason, besides Harry being the hero and all, is because he needed people who knew Sirius was innocent. Ron, Ginny, and Hermione already knew, Luna thought he was Stubby Boardman, and Neville was so involved in actually getting some action, he really trusted Harry on it. Think about Harry trying to bring Zacharias Smith, or Cho Chang. That was obviously not going to happen.

That would have been the case, had Harry wanted others to come. He didn't want anyone to come though.
