Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Behind-the-Scenes Facts and Timeline
The Harry Potter saga, beloved worldwide, is set in a timeless universe, but clues suggest the story takes place primarily in the 1980s and 1990s. The timeline begins with Harry's birth on July 31, 1980, and his first encounter with Hogwarts' letters in July 1991, when he is 11 years old. Key events include Harry entering the Chamber of Secrets in 1993, meeting Sirius Black in 1994, participating in the Triwizard Tournament between 1994-1995, infiltrating the Ministry of Magic in 1996, witnessing Dumbledore's death in 1997, and defeating Voldemort in 1998. The epilogue, set in 2017, indicates Harry would now be 44 years old. The film 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,' directed by David Yates and released in 2007, portrays a darker tone with the return of Voldemort and the rise of fascist elements within Hogwarts, notably through the character Dolores Umbridge. Actor Daniel Radcliffe underwent psychological preparation, including therapy and meeting trauma survivors, to authentically portray Harry's emotional struggles, especially after the death of Cedric Diggory. The film highlights themes of resistance against authoritarianism and the loss of innocence, with a focus on Harry's maturation and the ongoing battle between good and evil.
