THE TORONTO STAR covers the publication date announcement for book five in the HARRY POTTER series, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. The long-delayed book will hit shelves on June 21 in most of the English speaking world.

The opening sentence of the book is revealed in the article: "The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive ... The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four.""
