- "Anyway, it's a nightmare of a year, the fifth."
- — George Weasley's opinion of the fifth year[src]
A student in their fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was called a fifth-year (with a hyphen). Fifth-years were typically 15 to 16 years of age.
At the end of the fifth year, students took Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations, in order to determine what subjects they were allowed to take at N.E.W.T.-level.[1]
Overall[]
- "You realise we've got to write three essays, practise Vanishing Spells for McGonagall, work out a countercharm for Flitwick, finish the bowtruckle drawling, and start that stupid dream diary for Trelawney?"
- — The increase of homework during O.W.L. year[src]
The fifth year was very important for students, due to the fact that it was the year in which they sat their O.W.L. exams, which would determine what N.E.W.T. courses they would be permitted to take later on in their education.[2] O.W.L.s also determined what job opportunities they could pursue in the future.
Students would receive career counselling from their Heads of House, where they would be advised as to what N.E.W.T.-level classes they should take in order to qualify for their desired career.[3] The amount of homework for each class was also increased drastically and much of the year was spent studying.[2]
Classes[]
Fifth-year students had to take Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy and Herbology. They also had to take at least two of Divination, Arithmancy, Study of Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures, Magical Theory and Muggle Studies. Additionally, if they wanted, students could continue their non-compulsory Flying classes. Students could choose to drop an elective if it became a burden.[4]

Prefects[]
- "There's been a mistake. No one in their right mind would make Ron a prefect..."
- — Fred Weasley[src]
Every year, one male and female fifth-year student per House would be selected to become a Prefect by the professor who was appointed Head of the House in which they were,[80] though the Headmaster could intervene, as in Harry Potter's case (Professor Dumbledore felt he had enough responsibilities to deal with).[81] They would likely continue to be Prefects in their sixth and seventh years. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley became Prefects for Gryffindor house in their fifth year.[80]
