Probably not?
Sure there are just ~75,000 words in HP1, and there are probably many times that amount in direct quotes online. However the quotes aren’t even distributed across the entire text. For every quote of charming the snake in a zoo there will be a thousand “you’re a wizard harry”, and those are two prominent plot points.
I suspect the least popular of all direct quotes from HP1 aren’t using the quotes in fair use, and are just replicating large sections of the novel.
Or maybe it really is just so popular that super nerds have quoted the entire novel arguing about the aspects of wand making, or the contents of every lecture.
