I have read this book 4 times. This was one of my least favorite books. It didn't interest me very much, and I think that the whole thing with Riddle in a diary was odd. How could a memory of Riddle be able to control a basilisk?

I've probably red up to book four at least ten times... I barrowed book five from the school library back in tenth grade and than My buddy sent me the other one in a zip folder, to listen to on winamp... I am actually looking for a torrent of all six so far in audio, to freshen up before the enxt one comes out... I kinda dont have any of the books anymore >,<

I have really bad vision, and reading stuff with really tiny print gives me a headache, so I like the audio files better... I used to have the first four books in hard back form, but one of them got left at my dad's after i moved out and my stepmom pretty much let the little kids have a field day with all of my stuff that got left, and the other three I eather let people barrow and never got back or they dissappeared when we moved and stuff

oh i see...

well im the opposite. id rather read than listen. ive got a very poor attention span and even when reading a new harry potter book my mind always wandrs like hell. so at least reading keeps me more in focus than listening. and ive always had listening problems anyway. but just like you, my vision is impaired. im nearshighted though, and small font is no problem with my coz my nose practically touches the book. of course, it does not, maybe coz ive got a flat nose.

Seeing as the diary was a Horcrux, It's obvious how it controlled Ginny. I think is was a well thought out plot.

COS I've read a lot of times. Mostly in the summers when I didn't have anything to do I borow all HP books in that time and re-reading them over and over again. The worse book in HP series but the best movie so far.

I've read this one 3 times - but i will again be reading it (i'm reading through the whole series again)

It's my least favorite, maybe 4th time's the charm though and maybe i'll like it a whole lot more!

I've only read the book once. It's my least favorite, because it's boring.

I've read it about five times. Not as much as the others, because it was kind of slow.
