Harry Potter Hebrew Frequency List (TeachMeHebrew.com)

These are the ~1,000 most frequently used words in הארי פוטר ואבן החכמים (hari poter ve'even hakhakhamim), which is the Hebrew translation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone. Statistics: In total, the full book contains nearly 14,000 unique Hebrew words. Nearly 9,000 of them are used only once. The most frequent word, את, is used over 1500 times. The top 10 words alone (את, לא, הוא, הארי, של, על, אני, זה, אמר, היה) represent nearly 15% of all the words in the book. The top 1,000 words presented here represent nearly two-thirds of all the words in the book. Aside from Harry Potter-specific names and words, all of the words are common in Modern Hebrew. You'll notice that all the words are left in their natural state - conjugated and with prefixes and suffixes. Thus, you might see the same word root in multiple forms. This is intentional, because this is how Hebrew really looks. In the transliteration, as with all the other transliterations on this website, you should emphasize the last syllable in Hebrew unless specified otherwise with an underline.
