Finwitch:

-- I think it's quite true... Mixing the Order. I mean, ALL books must
be in it somehow. The troll (already done with) represents the first
book, of course...

After all, leaving them for the first time, Harry didn't quite know
where he was going...

Oh well, I'll leave it to you to explain Devil's Snare, Flying Keys
and the rest are supposed to be.

Of course, in the 4th book, Harry's facing a bit of repetition - yet
another series of obstacles. He has 3 tasks (3 books left).

Pass a dragon/saving people who aren't truly in danger/maze.

Seems like that mid-task presented the 5th book...
