Dolores Umbridge was appointed High Inquisitor of Hogwarts School in 1999 by Minister Fudge. She held this position for three years before being removed from it when it was discovered that she had been teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts without an official license. After leaving her post, she started her own school, which closed after only one year. She has written several books about witchcraft and wizardry that have been popular among Muggles and wizards alike.
In 2007, the longest chapter in the series was written by J.K. Rowling. It was made up of nine scenes to be included in a future film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. These chapters are over 10,000 words each. The shortest chapter was also written by J.K. Rowling and features characters and events from the book series. It is called "Hermione's Decision" and it lasts only 1,944 words. This makes her story the most spread out across the chapters so far.
Half of the chapters are between 4,464 and 6,613 words long. (In other words, the first and third quartiles)
There are about 80 chapters in all. Multiplying 5,547 by 0.5 gives 2,781. Two thousand seven hundred eighty-one words divided by two equals 1,394.5 words per chapter.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows alone has 24 chapters and total lengths of about 550,000 words. That's more than three times as long as the average chapter in the book.
Deathly Hallows was also released in several different versions with varying numbers of chapters. The shortest version is called "The Final Chapter" and it has only six chapters. The longest version called "Dumbledore's Army" has four additional chapters totaling nearly 100,000 more words.
So overall, the average chapter length is about 1,400 words. This includes some very short and some very long chapters. It is not accurate to say that each chapter is 400 words long because they can vary so much in length.
Let's take a deeper look at the chapter lengths. The typical Harry Potter chapter is about 5,000 words, or 20 pages. There are approximately 70 chapters in the book.
Chapters 1 through 3 (about 35,000 words) are an overview of Harry's life so far and set up the rest of the story. These chapters are named after characters in the story who play major roles later on.
Chapters 4 through 7 (about 25,000 words) are called "the quest" in the book. This term refers to the main plot line that runs throughout these chapters: Harry must find and destroy Voldemort's secret weapon, the Philosopher's Stone.
Chapter 8 (about 14,000 words) is called "Hermione's decision". It describes how Hermione decides to help Harry with his quest by joining him on his mission. This chapter also mentions other characters who will appear later in the story.
Chapters 9 through 11 (about 17,500 words each) are called "the battle between good and evil". These chapters describe both sides of the war between Voldemort and Dumbledore - the good guys and the bad guys. There is also a lot of action in them as well!

Leviticus 13 describes how to prepare animals for sacrifice. It is important to note that while this chapter discusses animal sacrifices, they were not regularly offered during Biblical times. The people of Israel would have needed to go through great pains and spend a lot of time performing these sacrifices if they had anything to do with God's true intentions for their lives. However, since these sacrifices were done out of love for Him, they can lead us to Christ. Through them we learn about His nature and gain insight into worshiping Him.
Sacrifices played an important role in bringing healing to people who were sick. They could also be used as a way to ask God for something. For example, Moses asked God to send miraculously delivered plagues upon the Egyptians so that He might deliver Israel through them. Similarly, Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross to take our sins away forever. Today, we can offer prayers of faith for others just like Moses did, and they will be heard by God.
God accepted these sacrifices because they were done out of love for Him.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is 157.63 percent longer than the first book in the series. All seven Harry Potter novels comprise a total of 1,084,170 words. The 1,084,170 words are spread across 6,095 pages. This means that each page contains about 7,700 words.
When you add up the word counts for each novel, you get: Deathly Hallows = 1,551,450; Goblet of Fire = 813,950; Order of the Phoenix = 545,980; Half-Blood Prince = 449,090; Privet Drive = 353,080; Shrieking Shack = 300,940.
This means that each chapter or section takes about 15,000 words. So if you read at a rate of one chapter per day, it would take you about two months to read the entire series. However, since we know that people can read much faster than this, the actual time taken will be less.
