How many times do people actually say Harry's name in all 8 movies?
I'll accept either
"Harry"
or
"Harry Potter"
since just "Potter" could count for Lily and James as well.

Assuming the subtitles haven't missed any instances, Harry Potter's full name occurs 134 times in total.
- 17 times in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
- 26 times in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
- 6 times in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- 12 times in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- 6 times in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- 21 times in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- 19 times in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I
- 27 times in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II
and
The word "Harry" appears a grand total of 695 times.
The word "Potter" appears a grand total of 265 times.
Purely for the record, his name occurs in the books quite a lot too;
- 27 times in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
- 87 time in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
- 13 times in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- 80 times in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- 37 times in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- 34 times in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- 44 times in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Also for the record, if your plan is to drink a shot of tequila each time his name is said, you'll be over the UK drink-driving limit within the first 30 minutes of the start of the first film and dead by the end of the second one.

Interesting that Harry appears more than Potter. I would not have guessed that.– SkoobaJan 5, 2018 at 14:40

Thank you for the informative answer! This was just what I was looking for.– LouJan 5, 2018 at 21:22

I think perhaps in your ‘for the record’ bit you ought to clarify that you’re limiting book occurrences to the full name; otherwise the numbers for the books are of course far too low. In Prisoner of Azkaban, for example, the name Harry appears 2,122 times, excluding Hagrid’s ’Arry. (Puzzlingly, I count 15 instances of “Harry Potter” in the book, not 13; or 11 if you only count characters speaking the name.) Sep 19, 2018 at 23:08
Every Harry Potter Movie but only the words "Harry" and "Potter":
This might help. I would however advise viewer discretion, can lead to feeling of intense peevedness if viewed continuously.
