I bet you love reading books with exciting stories and adventures, beautiful descriptions, well-crafted characters, and the author’s attention to detail. You may be a translator, copywriter, or writer who enjoys the magic of words. And of course, you wondered how many words or characters are in this or that book! Today we’ll carry out the Harry Potter word count — everyone’s favorite book series!
Just imagine, if you've read all of the "Harry Potter" books, then you've read at least 1,227,000 words or 6,667,911 characters!
We downloaded eight books about Harry Potter in PDF format, dragged the files into the word counter window, and clicked the count button. Just a couple of seconds later, and we got the following Harry Potter word count results.
The Harry Potter average word count is about 153,000 words. Is that a lot or a little? When a book fascinates and engages you in its world, any number of words is not enough. Because when you like a book, you don’t want it to end. But still, let’s try to compare Harry Potter’s average word count with our other favorite books. For example, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum contains 42,636 words. At the same time, “Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra has 430,269 words.
