** In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix (novel)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', Harry begins throwing and smashing random objects in Dumbledore's office, wanting an explanation about everything thats been going on from Dumbledore, who {{spoiler|realizes that he must finally tell Harry the [[Awful Truth]]}}.
