Video Business, January, 2003 by Bing, Jonathan

After months of delays, book publishers Scholastic and Bloomsbury have staked out a June 21 release date for Harry Potter and the Order of die Phoenix, the fifth installment in the series that has sold about 60 million copies. Author J.K. Rowling has been tinkering with the manuscript for months, and it has grown to Moby Dick-scale proportions: The book is 255,000 words, more than a third longer than the previous doorstop, Harry Patter and the Goblet of Fire.

Warner Bros. has an option to film Order of the Phoenix. No. 3 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the next feature film in the Warner franchise, set for release in summer 2004.
