Are you sure it is Book #5?

>From an interview with Rowling July 18, 2000/CBC Newsworld:

Question/Statement:  This is the crucial book, because after this 
book, everything changes.  The whole world seems to go through a 
radical transformation.

Answer:  Well, it's the end of an era.  Book Four is the end of an 
era for Harry.  He's been very protected until now.

Interview with the BBC Online - Newsround:

Question:  And how vital is Book Four in the 7 book series for Harry?

Answer:  Crucial.  Book Four's a very, very, VERY important book.  
Something very important happens in Book Four.  But also, it's 
literally a central book.  It's almost the heart of the series, and 
it's pivotal......but it's a very important book.
