I had a thought and was wondering of if the "Order of the Phoenix" 
was the name of a society or a secret group chosen by Fawkes by who 
gets feather from his body parts (not JUST his tail).  I've heard or 
the "Order of the Freemasons" or the "Order of the Knights of 
Columbus" and they are usuall groups , sometimes based on religions, 
that do charitable works and such (I don't know if they are also in 
the UK and other countries) that are usually just open to men to join 
that have hall and meetings and such.  I don't really know a lot 
about them but they are always in parades and run children's 
hospitals and other charitable organizations.  I'm using that 
definition of the word.

But here's my thoughts I read all of the posts on Fawkes and although 
it is canon that he has only given two tail feathers to make wands - 
Harry's and LV's- that does not mean that he cannot give other 
feathers on his body to make cores of wands such as wing feathers, 
head feathers, phoenix ruff (the taller feathers on the head, I'm not 
sure what to call them) chest feathers, and such.  We have never 
heard about what is in the cores of any of Dumbledore's Old Crowd.  
Could they have phoenix feathers of other parts of the body (could 
there be other Fawkes wands floating around?)

I'm not suggesting that all the old crowd has them who fought against 
LV, but we don't know the wand core for many adults in canon except 
for maybe Mr. Weasley and LV.  I think canon says that Dumbledore 
just asked Molly Weasley if they would join them in the fight against 
LV.  And since Sirius and Snape were in other position, friends or 
enemies of James Potter, last time LV reigned they were not members 
of the old crowd either.  

Does anyone think there might be other Fawkes wands around with 
different body feathers than tail feathers (Maybe Dumbledore since 
its his pet) or does everyone just think the Order is just anyone 
against Voldemort?   Kary
