Published: 21-06-2003 Format: Hardback Edition: 1st Imprint: Bloomsbury Children's Books Dimensions: 198 x 129 mm Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a fantasy novel written by British author J. K. Rowling and the fifth novel in the Harry Potter series. It follows Harry Potter's struggles through his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including the surreptitious return of the antagonist Lord Voldemort, O.W.L. exams, and an obstructive Ministry of Magic. The novel was published on 21 June 2003 by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom, Scholastic in the United States, and Raincoast in Canada. Five million copies were sold in the first 24 hours of publication.[1] It is the longest book of the series. I ordered this book from the UK when it was published. It is unread and virtually untouched. Dust cover intact and sealed in a plastic bag so excellent for collectors.
