Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2004)

The first Bloomsbury paperback of Order of the Phoenix appeared in 2004, a year after the hardback. We list it under the ISBN 0 7475 6107 9, which Open Library records as the 2004 Bloomsbury paperback.

Be careful with ISBNs for this title. Bloomsbury published more than one paperback of Order of the Phoenix in 2004, including an adult-cover edition, and each has its own number. Match the ISBN on your copy before comparing prices, because the editions are valued separately.

How to check the printing:

• On the copyright page, look for a statement of edition and a number line. A line ending in 1 indicates the first printing of that paperback.
• Later printings remove numbers from the end of the line.

We have not yet confirmed the exact copyright page wording of the first printing, so treat any listing that claims a first paperback printing with care until you have seen the page.

Most copies of this paperback are worth little, because huge numbers were printed and read. A copy that is genuinely collectable is an early printing in close to new condition: no spine creases on a very thick book, square corners and an unfaded cover. That combination is uncommon.
