Moments

Moments are pages in the story on Pottermore . Chapters are divided into one, two, three or four moments. In the last four books, there are several chapters that do not contain any moments. Most moments have three zoom layers.

At this time there are a total of 204 moments on Pottermore - 43 in the first book, 45 in the second book, 39 in the third book, 39 in the fourth book, 12 in the fifth book, 12 in the sixth book and 14 in the seventh book. Remarkably, the first two books contained more moments than the fourth and (especially) the last three books, despite containing significantly fewer chapters.
