How many words per chapter are in a Harry Potter novel?

Answer 1

Rhythm is an essential element of art. People generally recognize that music, dance or poetry have a rhythm, but often don't understand that a story also has a rhythm, and even a painting or sculpture do. Read some stories and learn to recognize the rhythm. Then, look over what you're writing, and find or develop the rhythm. This rhythm will then show up not just in chapter length, but paragraph length, conversation flow, word choice -- ideally, everything in your story.

The chapter amounts are not what matters, really. You type everything down, say your story, and then separate it into chapters. If you want a basis, though, make it so that there are on average three different problems or events the characters face before moving on to the next chapter. Be aware that these are big events, not small. But truly, finish the novel and then go to labeling chapters. Deal with that other stuff after you have said what you want the world to say. Good luck, and I hope very much this helped!

Answer 2

It depends on the story and the publisher. Some young adult novels are longer than most books published strictly for adults, but usually the word count is between 30,000-50,000 words.

Answer 3

Varies according to the book (Order of the Phoenix is by far the longest), but the average chapter in Philosopher's Stone, for example, is between 3,500 and 5,000 words.

Answer 4

It will depend on which genre you read (fantasies are typically quite large compared to genres such as mystery), but 400 to 500 is common.

Answer 5

The average word count for a novel is between 70,000words and 120,000 words.

Answer 6

It just depends on how small the chapter book is... for example, Diary of the Wimpy Kid would probably have an average of 170 pages... but Twilight would have a lot more!

Answer 7

That depends entirely on the book and what chapter. Every chapter will be different.

Answer 8

Most modern books have around 2,500 words in a chapter.

Answer 9

I'd say anywhere from 10 t0 20. : )
