In the summer of '05, before HBP came out, I bought all 5 HP paperbacks.

I read them all in about 4-5 weeks reading at every available moment.

Since then, I've re-read them by reading 1-3 chapters a night before i fall asleep (ironically NO harry potter dreams).

Since many people will be talking about it when it is released, I will probably have to read it as fast as I possibly can.

However, it will be the last(new) HP book I (all of us) will ever read and I dont want to read it "really fast"

Just curious if youre goin to pull an all-day/nighter and finish the day you get it or drag it out.

I like dragging it out if I can, but not too long

ill read it as fast as i can. i wont be able to stand it when my friends know the ending and i dont because im still stuck reading it. anyway, it wont be a big problem for me since i cannot put down the hp books, particularly since im so excited for the ending. i wanna know if my theories are correct.

I'm going to lock myself in my room and just read. Then I'll either reread it or run down onto this site and scream about what just happened.

i hope i can control myself and read it front to back rather than the other way around, which i normally do.

i know. im torn between wanting to scrutinize every part of it so that i can predict what's gonna happen, and wanting to finish the boook quickly so that i know if my prediction is correct.

I want to drag it out to savour every moment but I also don't want to find out the twists before reading it (like HBP). So how about this. Read as fast as humanly possible so you know 85% of what happened... And then re read it but drag it out. Sound good? Very Happy

There is no way I'll be able to drag it out. I'll devour it no matter what happens. And I can't wait.

I'll pick it up and not put it down then i'll read it more slowly. But i set off on holiday day before it comes out luckily there's a WHS there so my Mum and Dad will be their at 12:00 in morning(i pre-ordered).

I will stay up all night to read it. Last time, my brother told me the ending so this time I'm buying my own copy. I will also not get on the internet.

I'd like to read it quick because quite frankly, I still need to be studying for a college entrance exam I'll be having by the start of August.

Seeing as it's the last book, I'd probably take my time over it. But it'd still aim to finish it within 2-3 days.
