NEW YORK (AP) - Can't wait to read the new Harry Potter book? You now have the chance to hear it. Random House, U.S. distributor of the audio version of ``Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,'' has released a 105-second excerpt currently available on Amazon.com and AOL.com

``It's just a promotional trailer to remind fans it's coming out,'' Amanda D'Acierno, publicity director for the Random House Audio Publishing Group, said Thursday.

Scholastic, Inc. is releasing the text version of ``Order of the Phoenix'' in the United States. The fifth installment of J.K. Rowling's children's series comes out June 21.

The Random House clip, breathlessly read by longtime Harry Potter audio narrator Jim Dale, finds Harry in a house that might have ``belonged to the darkest of wizards.'' He enters a bedroom by turning a doorknob that resembles a ``serpent's head'' and quickly finds himself in the grasp of his shrieking friend, Hermione.

With the print version topping 800 pages, D'Acierno says the full audio book consists of 17 cassettes or 23 CDs, lasting 26 hours, 30 minutes.

The audio book has a first printing of 575,000 - by far Random House's largest ever. D'Acierno says the most popular audio books, such as a John Grisham or Danielle Steel novel, have sales of around 250,000.
