This post is to help clarify the Harry Potter series sequence, since so many people have written to ask us how many Harry Potter movies are there? It puzzled us at first why this question would be so common, but we finally decided that the fault lay with the fact that the movie studios split the final book into two movies, so while there are only seven books, there are eight Harry Potter movies. Here’s the list of each, all in one convenient location:
Harry Potter Series List:
Harry Potter Books:
1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (in the UK it is “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone)
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter Movies:
1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (in the UK it is “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone)
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)
8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)
We hope this clears up any confusion! We know that many people hear something about “Harry Potter 8” (meaning the final film) and think they’ve just heard a rumor about an 8th Harry Potter book, but it is usually just a misunderstanding. As of February 2012, JK Rowling still has no plans to publish another book in the series, so this is the final order of the Harry Potter series as far as we know! But that doesn’t mean the Harry Potter world is done for. Far from it! JK Rowling announced the creation of the website Pottermore, which is the next step in the evolution of the Wizarding World, but it seems that the project is more complicated than expected (or they are just really determined to make sure it’s something spectacular when it debuts) because it has been delayed multiple times and many months, with no clear word on when it will finally open. But rest assured that we are keeping abreast of it and will announce it here as soon as the final word comes out, so bookmark out page or “Like” us on Facebook at the top of this post and we’ll keep you posted!
