For each section in the books, I tracked the start page (S) and end page (E), along with the total page count.
Percent of Book: (E - S) / Total Book Pages
Percent of Series: (E - S) / 6,575 total pages
Example: In Prisoner of Azkaban (637 pages), Quidditch appears on pages 256-262, 381-386, and 450-460. A total of 21 pages, 21/637 totals 3.3% of that book.
All calculations were performed manually by analyzing each book page-by-page.
