Disciplinary hearing of Harry Potter



The trial of Harry Potter occurred before the Wizengamot on August 12, 1995 after Dolores Umbridge, under-secretary for the Minister for Magic, ordered Dementors to attack Harry Potter in the Muggle town of Little Whinging ten days earlier. Harry was forced to perform a Patronus Charm to save him and his cousin Dudley Dursley.

Subsequently, Harry was formally accused of performing underage magic and was made to appear at the Ministry Hearing of 1995, front of the entire Wizengamot at the Ministry of Magic. He was threatened with expulsion from Hogwarts, but was exonerated with help from Albus Dumbledore.

Behind the Scenes
In the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film, Mafalda Hopkirk's letter expelling Harry was a Howler, which looked less like the Howlers from the books than the one in Chamber of Secrets.
