Which Harry Potter novel is the longest in the original British edition?
Answer
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the longest Harry Potter novel in the original British edition.
The fifth novel was published in the United Kingdom in 2003 and runs to 766 pages in its original British hardback edition. It is substantially longer than the first book and expands the series’ political and emotional scope as the wizarding authorities deny Voldemort’s return.
The story introduces the secret student group Dumbledore’s Army and features Dolores Umbridge as Hogwarts’ new High Inquisitor. Harry also experiences increasingly intense connections with Voldemort, leading to the book’s climactic confrontation at the Ministry of Magic.
Page counts vary among editions, languages, formats, and typesetting. The answer refers specifically to the original British edition, which avoids confusion caused by paperback layouts or translated versions.
