Before the movies, there were the novels — but how many pages are in all of the Harry Potter books combined? Here’s what you need to know.
At some point in your elementary school education, you were likely handed a book to read about a magical wizarding world and a young orphan who didn’t know he was a part of it. And just like that, the world’s Harry Potter obsession began.
Comprised of seven books — rather than the eight films it was eventually split into — the first was released back in 1997, four years before the first movie was made.
Before you get stuck into your childhood reads all over again, here’s everything you need to know about how many pages are in all of the Harry Potter books.
How many pages are in all the Harry Potter books?
In total, there are 3,407 pages in all of the Harry Potter books together.
Considering some of them could be used as doorstops, this isn’t too surprising, as the novel franchise went on, each book began to get thicker, though the Order of the Phoenix — book number five — is easily the outright winner.
