Overview[edit | edit source]

Once again we join Harry Potter as he enters what would be his seventh year at Hogwarts. The book is written from the point-of-view of the now 17-year-old Harry as he prepares to complete the mission set for him by Dumbledore at the end of the previous year. Arguably the darkest book in the series, this volume shows Lord Voldemort tightening his grip on the Wizarding world as he remolds it into his own pure-blood design.

While the series progressively covers seven years in Harry Potter's life, the first five volumes are largely self-contained stories. Unlike them, this book is written more as the second half to a two-part novel, and is tightly tied to the previous book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Note: While this book is among the longer ones in the series, at 607 pages (Bloomsbury / Raincoast edition), it is also set in somewhat larger type. If it were the same size type as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, it would be 520 pages (approximately) to 223 for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

How many pages are in harry potter and the deathly hallows

How many pages does each Harry Potter book have? How long is each movie adaptation? Is there a relationship between the two?

It’s an interesting question: is there a pattern to how lengthy the Harry Potter books are vs. how long their movie adaptations are? Logic would dictate that the movies get lengthier as the source material does, but that’s not always the way it shakes down. In fact, after laying the numbers out end to end, it’s revealed that the last four movies are shorter on average than the first four, despite the books becoming more complex. Behold:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

  • Book: 310 pages
  • Movie: 152 minutes

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

  • Book: 341 pages
  • Movie: 161 minutes

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

  • Book: 435 pages
  • Movie: 142 minutes

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

  • Book: 734 pages
  • Movie: 157 minutes

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

  • Book: 870 pages
  • Movie: 138 minutes

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

  • Book: 652 pages
  • Movie: 153 minutes

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

  • Book: 759 pages
  • Movies:
    • Part 1: 146 minutes
    • Part 2: 130 minutes

This reveals some weird facts. For example, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the longest of the movies, despite it being the second-shortest of the books. On the flip side, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the second-shortest of the movies, despite it being the lengthiest novel.

Why the discrepancy? We can’t be sure, but I can hazard a few guesses. The first two movies were directed by Chris Columbus, so maybe it was his influence that fattened up the running times. Also, I can imagine Warner Bros. pushing for a lengthier movies towards the beginning of the franchise, high as they were on being in possession of one of the hottest properties in entertainment.

Alfonso Cuarón took over for Prisoner of Azkaban, and he may have preferred brevity. Going back the other way, director Mike Newell may have pushed for bulk when he handled Goblet of Fire, the longest film in the franchise. The movies in the back half of the series were directed by David Yates, and with the exception of Half-Blood Prince, they had relatively reasonable running times. It seems he was an efficient fellow.

There are probably other behind-the-scenes reasons at work here as well, but it’s hard not to wonder if a few of the movies would have benefitted from an adjustment in their running times. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, in particular, could have used some more content. Phoenix is arguably the richest of the novels, and the movie rushed too quickly some of the emotions.

Ah, well—we can’t change the past. Complaining about it, on the other hand…
