Which 2007 film was the fifth in the Harry Potter series?

The 2007 film that was the fifth in the Harry Potter series was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It adapts J. K. Rowling’s 2003 novel and follows Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts, where the Ministry of Magic refuses to accept that Lord Voldemort has returned.

Directed by David Yates and written by Michael Goldenberg, the film was the first Harry Potter movie directed by Yates, who later directed the remaining films in the series. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson returned as Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

The film followed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, released in 2005, and preceded Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, released in 2009. A common mix-up is confusing the film’s number with its book length: Order of the Phoenix is the longest novel in the series, but its film adaptation is not the longest movie.

Released in July 2007, the film earned roughly $943 million worldwide and became one of the year’s biggest releases.
