Harry Potter almost got kicked out of Hogwarts and the wizarding world at the start of the fifth book. According to some fans, it even happened.
The sagas that bring together millions of fans around the world regularly see their progress analyzed and dissected by them. This gives rise to more or less sensible theories. Harry Potter is no exception. Some twists and turns leave room for interpretation. and the creation of a back-story. This is particularly the case of a decisive episode of “The Order of the Phoenix”, the fifth volume of the adventures of the sorcerer, Cosmopolitan.
