Harry Potter in Swedish - all 7 books in the series

If you already know the story of Harry, Ron and Hermione, reading it in Swedish can be a good way to move from textbook texts to full-length literature. In this category, you will find all seven books in J.K. Rowling's series in the Swedish translation by Lena Fries-Gedin - available both individually and in two ready-made book sets.

Harry Potter in Swedish - book order

The series consists of seven books:

1. “Harry Potter och de vises sten” - “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone”

2. “Harry Potter och Hemligheternas kammare” - “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”

3. “Harry Potter och Fången från Azkaban” - “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”

4. “Harry Potter och den flammande bägaren” - “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”

5. “Harry Potter och Fenixorden” - “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”

6. “Harry Potter och Halvblodsprinsen” - “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”

7. “Harry Potter och dödsrelikerna” - “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”

You can start with the first book and read the entire story in Swedish, or choose the book you know and like best.

Why is Harry Potter a good choice for learning Swedish?

The biggest advantage of this series for language learners is familiarity with the story. If you have already read Harry Potter in another language or know the films well, it is easier to follow the plot even when you do not understand every Swedish word.

This allows you to focus on the language: learning new vocabulary from context, becoming familiar with natural sentence structures and reading increasingly longer passages without constantly checking a dictionary.

The books available in our bookstore are marked as suitable for level B2/C1. These are not simplified lättläst editions, but complete Swedish translations of the novels.

Two Harry Potter book sets in Swedish

If you want to read more than one book or are looking for a larger gift, you can choose one of two ready-made sets.

Books 1-3 SET includes the first three books in the series: “Harry Potter och de vises sten”, “Harry Potter och Hemligheternas kammare” and “Harry Potter och Fången från Azkaban”. It is a good choice for anyone who wants to start reading Harry Potter in Swedish from the beginning.

Books 4-7 SET includes the final four books, from “Harry Potter och den flammande bägaren” to “Harry Potter och dödsrelikerna”. It is a good continuation for readers who already own the first three books or want to complete the series in Swedish.

This division also makes it easy to build the complete seven-book collection gradually.

Harry Potter in Swedish as a gift

A Swedish edition of Harry Potter makes a great gift for someone who is learning Swedish and loves the world of Hogwarts. Instead of another textbook, they receive a real book in the language they are learning - and a story they already know and enjoy.

You can choose a favourite individual book, the first book as an introduction to the Swedish version, or one of the two sets. It is also an interesting gift for collectors of international Harry Potter editions.

Who are the Harry Potter books in Swedish for?

Above all, they are suitable for readers who already have a solid foundation in Swedish and want to start reading longer books. They can work particularly well for those who already know the story in another language, as familiarity with the characters and events provides additional support while reading.

They are also a good choice for Swedish language students, people living in Sweden, fans of young adult literature and Harry Potter readers who want to experience the familiar story in Swedish.

By reading each book in Swedish, you can combine the pleasure of returning to Hogwarts with regular exposure to the language - while gradually building the complete series on your bookshelf.
