I think so, Tori. They are still separate books on Goodreads, so I think you ought to be fine.

Letter Q - Prof. Quirrell in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling (5 stars)

Letter Q - Prof. Quirrell in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling (5 stars)"
Great thinking! I'm actually re-reading the series now, mind if I use it too? Q is a hard letter to accomplish.

J - Jerome Robinson (Mr. Mercedes)
V - Egwene al'Vere (The Gathering Storm)
K - Kell (A Darker Shade of Magic}
M - Matt Gathering Blue
P - Piper - The Lost Hero
S - Hari Seldon Foundation

You can count one character from each book, like Harry from one, Ron from two, Dumbledore from three and so on and so forth. That goes for every series. I'm reading the Divergent series now and will be doing the same thing.
