Harry Potter • spoken words by film chapter
Loading all 8 films… Counting each character’s spoken words chapter by chapter.
Interactive: on desktop, hover over a character line and click to pin a chapter. On mobile, swipe left/right through the enlarged timeline and tap a line; use the boxed × to return. Characters are physically grouped into broad story factions. A red × marks a death explicitly established in the film continuity, even when the death itself occurs off-screen; the line ends at that character’s final speaking chapter in the death film. The transcript source notes that scripts may not be 100% complete and may contain scenes that did not appear in the final films, so this should be treated as a transcript-based visualization, not a frame-perfect subtitle count. Line height uses one shared square-root word-count scale across characters; extreme values are capped at the 99th percentile for readability. Spoiler warning: death markers reveal major plot events.
