Template:HP Character Kingsley Shacklebolt is a member of the Order of the Phoenix in the Harry Potter series of books. He is a tall, black man who wears a golden ear ring and has a deep voice which Harry mentions several times as "calming".
Kingsley Shacklebolt is an Auror who works for the Ministry of Magic, as double agent for the Order. He is in charge of the search for Sirius Black in the Ministry, and has been feeding the Ministry information that Sirius is in Tibet. Kingsley Shacklebolt knew James Potter, though it is never stated if Kingsley was part of the original Order of the Phoenix. He is first introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Kingsley takes part in the battle at the Department of Mysteries, and appears to be very skilled at dueling as he is seen fighting two Death Eaters at once. After Sirius is killed, he continues the duel with Bellatrix Lestrange, during which Kingsley is hit by a spell that causes a "loud bang" and he hits the ground "screaming in pain". It is not known what happened to him after this, as he does not appear at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when the rest of the Order wishes Harry off.
