Book 5 in the Harry Potter series is quite hard to sum up. If you want the movie is coming out next year July 2007 I believe. As for Book 6 that's been out last year Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince.

So you want me to try and sum the Harry Potter and The Order of Phoneix for you. This is the best I can do.
