After a three year gap between books, the release of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix was a huge event for fans of Jk Rowling's books. With a word count of a quarter of a million words, it's the longest book in the entire series and, after the watershed moment represented by The Goblet Of Fire, would have presented many of the same challenges in adapting it to the screen in the space of just one film.
