I've gotten to reading the book twice, but I'll soon be taking my 3rd venture through it all again, ah it's great.

I've only read it thrice. I don't know how you people find the time to read the same books over and over again plus other books.

I read really slow and it has to be completely silent when i'm reading. Depending on the length of the chapter it usually takes me an hour to an hour and a half to read 1 chapter sometimes longer. I end up going to bed really late. By the time I got done with HBP I started getting a little faster at it.

lol . . . I read slow, but I don't need silence. I was in danger of being illiterate as a child, though. I gues that I should be happy that I can read the books.

When I am alone, I am completely theatrical when I read. I read out loud, and I like at out the scenes. I love it. I don't know why. I even use different voices and accents with the different characters.

I don't read out loud but I do make different voices in my head.

lol, You should try it some time. It's fun. Haha . . . What is really fun is to read it with a group of people. Get a bunch of you Potter friends together. Each of you taka character or two and choose a narrater. It really comes alive that way.

My best friend and I did that with a group of her friends when I was seventeen. We would do it with Fanfic, too.
