Now Phil replies:
I was thinking that the Order of the Phoenix as a place since they adopted
twelve Grimmauld Place as its
headquarters  but it would have messed the pattern to call books two and
five things other than people and objects.

But Jo could just as easily name the last book,
Harry Potter and the Dark Lord's Nose, which was surely turned into a
Horcrux.
