In 2007’s “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” which year is Harry in at Hogwarts? Harry is in his fifth year at Hogwarts. The film adapts J. K. Rowling’s fifth Harry Potter novel and follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they return to school after Voldemort’s secret resurgence becomes an increasingly urgent threat.
The school year is marked by conflict with the Ministry of Magic, which appoints Dolores Umbridge as Hogwarts’ new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Because Umbridge refuses to teach practical defensive magic, Harry helps form Dumbledore’s Army, a student group that practices protective spells in secret. Harry also faces the pressure of preparing for his O.W.L. examinations.
The number five is easy to confuse with the film’s release position or the actors’ ages, but it refers to Harry’s academic year. The movie was released in 2007, while Harry is fifteen years old during most of the story. The events culminate in a confrontation at the Ministry of Magic and the open return of Lord Voldemort.
