I'm with you, Dee -- I loooove the Adept series by Katherine Kurtz.  I'm
also currently reading "The Eight" by Katherine Neville, which is almost
like a spy thriller, but involves a secret society that holds the key to the
mystery of the Montglane Service, a magical chess set owned by Charlemagne
and then scattered around the world. The Knights Templar are sort of
involved in that, too.

In the Adept series, I don't recall that the members of the "soldiers of the
Light", lead by Adam Sinclair, had any other name than "The Hunting
Lodge" -- although the BAD guys were called "The Lodge of the Lynx."  And
yes, the Lynx members were all heavily involved in the same black magic that
Hitler (Grindelwald?) supposedly used in WW II.

(Do we need those?  Penny, Melanie?)

I adore the Adept series, and the second I heard the title on the TV, that
is what came to mind--the Templar Knights (no, can't recall what the exact
order was, but I adored those books.  And if there is a strong WW2 strain in
HP, I would think it very funny after reading KK's books!).

I was under the thinking (that doesn't look right--but after going to bed at
2am, and feeling like the dead mouse...) that the Order is either secret, or
semi-secret, and like the Masons, not much is revealed outside the inner
circle.

(I would adore learning more about Masons, btw...hint hint?  I promise not
to reveal secrets--I just have always thought there was some magick involved
with their secrets!)

OR maybe AD is also a descendant of GG and in a ritual of the Order
of the Phoenix passes on some special ability (now ***I*** am
referring to Katherine Kurtz) to HP.
