While the movies were made in the 2000s – and feature the occasional anachronism such as 21st century mobile phones or music – it’s likely they follow the same carefully crafted timeline as Rowling’s books. That means each of the seven books in the Potter series focus on a different school year (running from September to August), starting in 1991, when Harry was 11 years old.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (the hit stage play, set in 2017-2020)Īside from the occasional flashback, the Hogwarts-set movies in the series follow a simple linear structure – mostly thanks to Rowling’s decision to use the British school calendar as a framework for her narrative.

The Secrets of Dumbledore was the lowest-grossing film of the entire Wizarding World franchise and had received mixed reviews, which could have contributed to the studio's decision if the rumors turn out to be true. (When asked about the future of the series, star Eddie Redmayne told NME in January 2023 that 'there's nothing that I'm aware of.')
