Scholastic in the United States, and Raincoast in Canada. It sold five
million copies in the first 24 hours of publication. It is the longest

Harry Potter fans waited three years between the releases of the fourth and fifth books. Before the release of the fifth book, 200 million copies of the first four books had already been sold and translated into 55 languages in 200 countries.

2003 to secure copies at midnight. Despite the security, thousands of
copies were stolen from an Earlestown, Merseyside warehouse on 15 June
2003.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was met with mostly positive reviews and received several awards.

The original Order was created in the 1970s.
It was constructed after Lord Voldemort returned to England from abroad and started his campaign to take over the Ministry of Magic and persecute Muggle-borns.
The Order worked with the Ministry to oppose the Dark Lord and his followers, and played a crucial role in the First Wizarding War. Their first victory came in 1981, with Lord Voldemort's first defeat at the hands of Harry Potter. The victory came with the high cost of many of their members.

The Order disbanded but was reconvened after Harry Potter informed Dumbledore of Lord Voldemort's return.
The Ministry refused to admit that the Dark Lord had returned, thus the Order alone worked to protect Harry Potter and the prophecy concerning him and Lord Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries.
After an intense battle occurred there between the Order, Dumbledore's Army, and the Death Eaters, the Ministry finally admitted the truth.
The following year would see the Order losing their leader and the Ministry being conquered by Lord Voldemort. The Order remained an underground resistance, trying to protect Muggles and broadcast the truth during the worst days of the Second Wizarding War.
They answered the call to arms by Dumbledore's Army, fighting Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters for the final time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It's a secret society.
Dumbledore's in charge, he founded it.
It's the people who fought against You-Know-Who last time.
