How many Harry Potter books have you actually read?

[Trigger Happy]

How many books have you actually read? This will be interesting poke:

[Trigger Happy]

I would have made this a poll except there was no option to:(

Anyways, I have read all 4 books. o.o

[Dedalus]

*laughs*, well I can't imagine anyone here hasn't read them all! On Harrypotter.com, perhaps ...

[Trigger Happy]

Well a lot of people sign up and join in conversations they don't know what is about *like me* :p
So yeah, I doubt everybody will have read all the books.

[Gabriel]

How many are there


^_~!

[Manyasha]

Well, maybe not everybody. Maybe 1 person out ouf 500 haven't. I have read four books and I'm afraid I'm in majority.;)

[Bilbo]

Do the schoolbooks count? If so, I've read six. Hopefully, I will soon make the figure 7.

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Bilbo swiped my question. It's been a while since I read the schoolbooks, though, and I don't know where my copy of Fantastic Beasts has gone. :(

Bad Rowena! Bad! :banghead:

[Tarawyn]

If they count, I've read six. Most of the people on the boards have read all of the books - from experience, checking out a site before you've finished them is either a bad or silly idea. First, you have spoilers, and second, nothing really makes sense.

Spoilers are never fun. I remember when I meant to read the fourth book of the Wheel of Time and accidently read through two and a half chapters in the eighth before realizing what had happened. I think that's about as bad as a message board or website'll get...only worse.

[MissPotterHead]

I've read all four books, about 8-10 times each.

[harryton]

all of them, 4,

2 times each, i cant belive you have read them 8-10 times each lol

[Manyasha]

Oh, do schoolbooks count? Then you can poke fun at me, because I haven't read them! :elaugh: But the only reason is that they haven't been published here.:sigh:

[rotsiepots]

Like most other people, I've read all four books countless times (I, quite honestly, can't recall how many times I've read each book). I've also read both schoolbooks, if they count.

A friend of mine has read PoA over 20 times. That's quite a good effort.

[Camo]

I have read all four novels plus the Quiddich schoolbook. I may have read the fantastic beasts one but i can't remember.

Are there only 6 books in total (4 novels, 2 schoolbooks) or more?

[Firebolt]

All 4 books about 4 -5 times and rising.

[DogStar87]

I've read all 4 as well... nothing new here. I haven't read them in a long time, the last time I picked one up was a few months ago. :sigh: Oh, well. Can't wait to say I've read all 5!

[Aoife Diggle]

I've read both school books a couple of time and all 4 books in and around 20 times I would say, well the first 3 that much at least. I have a rule that I only ever read the books in proper order, so if I want to read GoF again, I have to start at the begining and work my way up! I feel sorry for the rest of the books to come, they will never catch the first 4 up!

I have my plan made for how I am going to read the books when OotP comes out. The month beforehand to prepare myself I am going to read the first 4 again, then read OotP as soon as it comes out. I am going to have to let my brothers read it then and hopefully that won't take too long, then I re-read it to see if I missed anything out. Then after all that I read the 5 books in proper order from the start so I can link up any foreshadowing that came true in OotP!

[dobbygirl]

I've read the four novels and the two school books. I love the school books, they're funny with the hand written notes in the margins and stuff. I've lost count how many times I've read them, but I know it's a lot. Plus now I have three of the four novels on tape, so who needs a book?:p

[Myrddin]

I've read the four [as they shall be known :)] but I haven't even cast eyes upon copies of the school books. Would they help me cook up even crazier theories?

[Yurika Star]

I read books 1-4.
Not the other books, may read them when i get time.

[Chocolate Frogs]

I've read all 4 books, and the schoolbooks! They are great.
:)

[Katze]

I've read the 4 books and the two school books. I haven't read any of the helperes. None of them are authorized by Rowling, so I have difficulty bringing myself to buy books that are unauthorized and not approved by the Queen herself.

[hplover_ginny]

well i wish it were five but ive only read the 4 17 times each (im a nerd lol)
:bow: harry potter

[FatalBeauty]

I've read all four of the novels, and then Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

[Animagi Girl]

I've read the four um... i lost count. And I've read the school books a couple of times.

[MagpieOnaga]

Hah...yeah, I've read all four. It seems almost silly to even bother telling you that...

I read three of them at once, three years ago. I waited for the fourth, and read it the day it came out. Since then, I've listened to (yes, listened to) all four books....oh, I couldn't tell you how many times. At least fifteen times each, and probably more for Chamber of Secrets and Prizoner of Azkaban. I'm a fan of Jim Dale's audiobooks. I used to listen to them while I did homework, while surfed the net, while I worked out, and at night before I fell asleep. Yes....you could say I was *slightly* overstimulated. Eventually, I started to listen to them less and less, and now I only listen to them at night. It's become a habit; I cannot fall asleep without them.

[go_anna40]

I've read all the four Harry Potter books, and also Quidditch Through the Ages.

And waiting for Order of the Phoenix...

[Faye]

I've read 'em all, as well as Quidditch Through the Ages. I own 'em, too, all in hardcover except for CoS. Just finished my collection by buying GoF last week, and now all there is to do is wait...

[hpfan]

All 4

[TheLostWeasley]

read all 4.........more than once :-p

[Lee]

I've read the four HP books, but I don't have the schoolbooks... I can't find them anywhere.

[TheChaser]

I've read all four of the books, like, 40 or 50 times apiece. No, seriously, I'm not joking. I mean, I've had them since 1999. Am I weird?

I've read the schoolbooks, too... I got them in a little set for Christmas 2001. You can probably get them at Barnes and Noble in the kids section; that is, if they have B&N in Britain. You can always order them online, but it's really expensive...

[Carryn SkyDancer]

I've read all four, but haven't seen the schoolbooks.

[MadMagic]

I have also read all 4. Although I haven't read the school books.

[Harry-EX]

I have read all but not the school books too, and hoping the fifth book will come earlier.

[Ava]

I've read all four books plus Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantasic Beasts and Where to Find Them
...and counting down 'til the release of OotP!:clappy:

[ilovelifex1000]

I've read all four in the series and the two school books. Multiple times...

[Virtuousdream]

I've read all four, plus the two schoolbooks and The Magical World of Harry Potter, which is a book full of myths and legends relating to the books and characters.

[Picko]

I've read the four main books and the two school books.

[banyopp]

Only read the 4 books, I live in Japan at the moment and they don't have any of the school books, from what I have seen. I am, however, making my way, slowly but surely, through PS/SS in Japanese, I think I have some blind hope that in a translation perhaps there is a clue I will notice that I overlook when I read it in English.

[BabyMars]

I have read all 4 books 3 times each. i'm about to start them over again because these threads have made me addicted to HP in a way that shouldn't even be legal. I have read Quiddich through the ages and The Magical Creatures book too.

Cheers :smooch:

[Sorting Hat's Songwriter]

ive lost count. ive been reading them in order over and over since last august, ive always had one in progress since then. and id read them about 4 times each before that. im gonna keep goin (115 days!!) and ill be properly prepared for OotP. then ill read order twice, before goin back to the start and readin all over again. repeat till book 6. Oh, and i own both school books (try amazon if you havent got them) read them bout 5 times each.

[Virtuousdream]

I've read the first book about 15 times now, I've had them since I was 11!

I'd say I was on my 7th reading of book 4 though, not read it that much really :S

[Charmed]

I have read all four books and the two school books. I am starting to lose count however as to how many times I have actually re-read them.

[LittleHobbit]

I just read all four from the series.

[dorcasderr]

I've read all four of the books at least twice. Some thrice. I also have the school books but only dip into them occasionally.

[HPviolinist85]

All four. I just got the schoolbooks for my 18th bday. I've skimmed through them but didn't read them cover to cover yet

[Snowangel]

I've only read the four main books. I just haven't seen the other ones. I'll probably get around to reading them eventually.

[Scotlandking85]

I've read all 4 books plus the school books, plus a few fan-fics.

[orclev]

I've read all four books three times now (soon to be four or five), even though I've had SS since... well... I think I was one of the first people to read it in my area. My mom thought it sounded interesting, and I agreed, so she ordered it (she's a member of the Science Fiction Book Club, so that's where we always get the Harry Potter books when they come out). I never actually started re-reading them and becoming more of a fanatic about them until sometime a few months ago (like Christmas). I don't know why I never did before, lol.
I've got the school books in this nice little hardcover boxed set... I've read them each once, though I hope to change that soon. :)

[Guardian Angel]

Okay...al four books (duh!) + Quidditch through ages. So, it means... 6, right?

[Jinxie Cat]

i've read all four....about a hundred bazillion times!! and i've read the school books also.... only not as many times as i've read the series......

[1MelissaPotter]

I've read them all, but I've read PoA most becuase its my favorite. I also read Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. There are other HP related books I have read too. These books are so addictive!!

[Doggy]

All, you nuts?? I read them the day I get them, I live for Harry Potter!!!

[Guardian Angel]

Doggy, this is the thread about how many HP books we read, not the thread about how fast we read them and not how many times we've read them. Thanks for listening! ;)

[Emma]

I've read the four, plus the school books and one other about Harry Potter. I don't know where it is and I cannot remember the name.

[Moonlight]

I've read the four but not the school books, yet. I can't seem to find them anywhere, not even Waterstones:cry:.

[DRaGoNoFiLlFaItH]

I've read all 4, and I read the one about the monsters, I forgot the name I know its red

[DRaGoNoFiLlFaItH]

I rememberd, Fantastic Beasts or something like that I think

[flibbertigibbet]

All 6, of course :) I cannot wait until I can make it 7.

[Ilse]

I've read them al four over and over and over and over etc. I never stopped! From book 1 I got to nr.2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4... you can't get the school books in the Netherlands (sold out, and they aren't going to make more!!! :( ) but I've ordered them in English (last week's discovery!!! :D ) so I will get them today, maybe tommorow! Yeay! And I've read the first two more times than nr. 3&4 because they are older...but I read them constantly (I have 2 special reading sets, and one hardcover set (also 2 sets ordered from school books) so I've got one perfect set all the time and nobody is allowed to touch them, I don't touch them either! I'm a freak I know... :lol: I'm obsessed by Harry...

[Chloe]

all 4- around 30 times each!!! and i've read the schoolbooks around 10 times.

[Thayet]

I've read all four, countless times, but not the fan books or related books, although I've read fanfictions, and participated in online replica's and read online sources relating to it. I thought beyond the HP books, the rest was just merchandise there to make people even more money due to the success of books, which were marvellous in themselves.

[FoolOnTheHill]

Err... all of them....

3 times each now. I plan on reading them each 1 more time before 5 comes out. I think I would have read them more but because of school it took me from November '01 to July '02 to finish them. Amazing. I don't know how I could stand that. I had 5-6 months between 2 and 3. Crazy.......

[raeredeyes]

i've read them too many times to count!

I plan to start reading them over, because with all my uni work, i'll be lucky to finish them before June :D

[Weatherby]

I've read all four a countless number of times. I shall reread them again after the CoS dvd to be sure.

I haven't read the schoolbooks however.

[raeredeyes]

ooh, i have one of them

they're pretty funky :smile:

[Eternal]

I have read all of the books (including the school books) at least once. Heh, and I still remember the first time I read them. I refused to put them down and finished them usually within the first day. I am currently rereading The Prisoner of Azkaban, mostly because of all the buzz about the third movie coming out. I figured I better refresh my memory and get all the facts straight before I see the movie version, even though it's months away from being released.. lol.

I can't wait for Order of the Phoenix.

[FantasyFreek28]

i have read all four books, but i hav not yet read the schoolbooks. I have actually read the four books about five or more times each. LoL i have no life! :p

[Taliesin]

I have read all four books... but only once (GoF 3-4 times) :D

[i_love_dan_89]

i've read all of them...about 3 times

[Fleur]

I've read all four of the books so many times that I have lost track. I've also read the school books numerous times, and right now I am reading The Science of Harry Potter by Roger Highfield. So if you count that book, I've read 7.

(I also have 13 copies of the books: 2-4 and the school books in paperback and hard cover, and 3 copies of SS (paperback, hard coer, and british edition :whistle: )

[Filius Flitwick]

I've read the four main books and the two school books. Like Rowena, my schoolbooks are gone. I do know where they are though, I lent them to a friend last year. Maybe I'll get them back eventually, I'm thinking I may need them for background info when reading the next book.

[Josh Rider]

Ive read all of them three times....

[Fuchsia]

I have only read the 4 books in the series. The school books I still have yet to pick up.

[DocHollidaywe]

i've read all 4 books about 20 times each, but i have yet to read the school books

[GryffindorSeeker]

All 6. i've read the schoolbooks once or twice, and the Four about thirty times each. Not kidding. (the third is closer to forty) And I've only been reading since Early October 2001!

[Michelle]

I've read all four of them at least twice each, but only CoS in English (The others were in Greek, it isn't that easy to find the English ones here although I think they are better. Translation sucks :-( )

[Lady~Slytherin]

What kinda question is that? Of course I've read all 4! About 20 times each

[marspeach]

I've read all four. My brother has only read the CoS and half of PoA.

[Grace Granger]

I've read all of them two times and am starting my third.

[JofpGallagher]

I have read:
Book 1: Two times the American version; 1 time the spanish version
Book 2: Three times the American Version; Spanish version is next.
Book 3: Three times the American Version; and again Spanish version is next.
Book 4: I'm finishing the third time (American version).

[shawntat]

I have read all four books twice since the end of March (just became a fan) and the schoolbooks once (total 6). I have also read the Unofficial Guide to Harry Potter.

[SherbertLemon]

I've read the 4 books more times that I can remember and the schoolbooks about 3 times each. I have a paperback and hardcover copy of all 4 plus paperback and hardcover schoolbooks.

[Imperio! (Crucio!)]

Book 1= 3 times british bloomsburry version and once bloomsburry special edition version
Book 2= 5 times bloomsburry
Book 3= 5 times bloomsburry
book 5= 6 times bloomsburry

[Phyre]

I've read them all once. I only got them recently since we don't really have much cash for books. :( Hubby just got them for me as an early birthday present.
I still want to get the Hardcovers though. Mine are American. Took 1 day per book. I don't have any school books yet.
Interesting to read, I am sure, but they'll have to wait.
I think my hubby may be planning on buying me OoTP :D
Then I plan to read them all in order again.

[butitstoolate]

I've read them all only 2 times each....

[K.K. Slider]

I've read them (all 4) 5-6 times each.

[Bouncing_Ferret]

I've read all four main books three times each, except for PS/SS which I've read four times. I've also read QTTA twice, but have never gotten around to reading FBAWTFT.

[Disarming Charm]

I have read them all 2 times each but I have also been listening to the audio books in the car. I seem to pick up different things by listening to them than I did when i read them.

I will most likely read them all again after I read book 5, I like to check out what clues were there from early on.

[Thyme_of_Change]

I have read all six, many times, and I am re-reading them now in prep for the new one, so it is fresh in my mind! lol!

[FawkesBox]

I've read all of them more than 5 less than 10 times-- what about books about HP- like "The Ultimate Unoffical Guide the Mysteries of Harry Potter "which I've read about three times

[Sarmi]

I've read all four books, plus the two others that have been published. Quidditch Through the Ages & Fantastic Beasts.

If there were more, I'd read them too.

14 more days!!

[Amadeus]

all of them

[EvilMeghan]

PS/SS - over 15 times
CoS - at least 12 times
PoA - at least 10
GoF - 6 or more
QTTA - once
FBAWTFT - once

And no matter how many times I read them, I realize something new every time! :D

[Akumas]

Thyme of change stated

I have read all six, many times, and I am re-reading them now in prep for the new one, so it is fresh in my mind! lol!

Lol, I hope that six is a typo. :)

[Nurika]

He probably was including the schoolbooks (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Quidditch Through the Ages).

I have read all four books(six including those) over and over. Well, not all in the same chapter order. After about reading each book five times cover to cover, I start reading them out of chapter order...one minute I'm on chapter 4...the next minute...24! I do this mainly because I favor some parts of the story over others, and also because I want to see if I can catch any of those subtle clues. I also use them for refrence, such as looking for quotes. I have read them a lot, I read them almost everyday when I'm eating a snack or something...so I'd say at least 20 times on each book, if not more.

Also, I've been reading Goblet of Fire a lot more than the others. I lent it out to someone and just got it back (and I have been reading it like a madman), but also have been reading it in preperation for the new book! Thyme_of_Change and I have similar thinking strategies!

~*Nurika

[caroline40]

Theres another one called "The Magical Worlds Of Harry Potter" by David Colbert which I read but I didnt think it was very good

[theodyssey42]

The Magical Worlds Of Harry Potter doesnt count though because it wasn't written by JKRowling.

I have read all 4 novels countless times and both of the schoolbooks.

For those of you who can't seem to find the schoolbooks, try Amazon. I think it still has some copies...

[Dark Fallen Pride]

I have read all 4 novels(many times), but none of the school books.

[Brie]

I have read all 6. Not the magical creatures and the quidditch book completely though.

[mallorniphredil]

I've read all four, or six, including the schoolbooks, and I'm starting to re-read them again. :)

[Hootie]

Hey. If anyone hasnt read all four now five books. They are missing alot and alot of good reading.

[FredRocksMySocks]

all 5, of course! And then the magical beasts and quidditch through the ages, and i've read some of those potter-related books discussing theories and coincidences and all sorts of fun things. i love to read and there is so much good available reading material on harry between books!

[Bee]

All 5. The fifth one twice and the rest around seven times.

[Ms.Sirius]

Yep all 5. The last one I have only read once so far, the others I have read a few times. I have also read JK's 2 school books and a few other books on the Harry Potter series. I figure most people HAVE read all the books, or maybe they just watched the 2 movies and got hooked on them. But I hope they will take an interest in reading the other books, if that is the case. I have never been much of a reader, and I saw the 1st movie before I even knew who HP was. I watched it several times and liked it. Then borrowed the 4 books from my sister and got hooked. Now I'm a huge fan, one of the ones that was dressed up, waiting at the bookstore for 4 hours to buy the 5th book!!!
:o

[Draco is Hot]

All 5 of course. i'm currently re-reading the 5th one, but i read the others like 6 times or more, i don't keep count

[Wakkachuta]

I'm going to say all 5, because of course OotP is out already! And I read it 3 times in the first week! lol I havent read Quidditch Through the Ages nor Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I don't know if they're available in Australia, although I did see them on ebay.

[dobby_rocks]

i have read all 5 HP books, 1 -4 i have already read twice, and im on book 1 for the 3rd time

[hp_fan_01]

i have read them all exept the 3rd 1

[FreyaCrescent]

I've read all five books. I'm trying to find Quidditch through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.. to take the edge off my Book 6 craving.

[Spawn of Evil]

All 5, Part 1 and 2 both 3 times, 3 and 4 both 2 times (just started rereading 3 last night), and 5 just the once.

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

All but the new one. I'm about 204 pages into it.

[Bee]

I've read all 5 more than once plus some of Quidditch... and Fantastic Beasts...

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

I've been meaning to read an outside of JK book on Harry. Can anyone recommend some books?

[opuskitty4ever]

I have read them all at least once through.

[Mulan]

I´ve read all five.

Books Four and Three in English and Spanish.

Hard to find them in English here in Mexico.

Greetings from the Pacific Pearl!!!

Mulan :p

[PrtVeela]

yeah all five, then the ultamiate unoffical guide, then the quidditch and beasts ones, good times...good times :)

[OmarGama]

I have read the first 4 books of the Harry Potter's books.

[Marix]

All of them!At list 8 times. :clap:

[MnMbabe]

ive read all of them!
PS/SS- 2 times
CoS- 2 times
PoA-4 times
Gof- 5 times
OotP- im on my 8th time

These are basically the only books i read outside of school! :p

[Snax212]

All of them.

[y0rkie]

the regular old 5 in the series.....and then some parent view of harry potter book that my english teacher had...quite stupid really.

[lupin14388]

all of them, a whole bunch

[Codemastar]

Well, as for me, I've read Philsopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Askaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, Quidditch Through the Ages, and Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them. Those last two are for charity and are in fact very informative and interesting. I really like Magical Beasts, but I can't find my copy and I've been looking for it forever. As for fanfiction, about two/three years ago, when we were all waiting for Order of the Phoenix, I discovered this site called fanfiction.net, clicked on Books-> Harry Potter-> >100,000 words, and discovered the world of fanfiction. And that held me satisfied for about seven months, and then the well of new fanfiction started turning up dry, and I had to start searching hard and looking elsewhere.

I found FictionAlley, and the well filled up again and I was content until Book 5 came out. Now I'm just searching, wandering aimlessly like a drunken idiot, looking for a new book/fanfiction to catch my interest. Although there is one fanfic I'm waiting to come to comepletion; it's a sixth-year fic called Harry Potter and the something something. It's good though, so hopefully it'll last me for the next infinate number of years until book 6 comes out.

[Frankie Inkblot]

I've read:

All 5 in English
First Four in French
Quidditch Through the Ages
Fantastic Beasts
The Sorcerer's Companion: A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter
The Science of Harry Potter (by the coolest guy ever, Uncle Roger!)

[thinkpink38]

Ofcourse I read them all! I read them all once, except OOTP (twice).

[Antipodean]

I've read the first four 16 times each, though I'm rereading PoA for the 17th time right now, and the fifth only twice. I didn't have three years to obsess over that one, alright? ;) I've also read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, and Conversations with J.K. Rowling.

[jen15poms]

HP and the Sorcerer's Stone: Twice
HP and the Chamber of Secrets: Twice
HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban: 5 times
HP and the Goblet of Fire: 6 times
HP and the Order of the Phoenix: 4 times

I can't wait for HP #6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sirius Potter]

I have read all five books plus the two school books and various books on Harry Potter that explore the indepths of the books. I am such a HP nerd that I have read the books multiple times especially book three.
~Sirius Potter

[springthing4]

Wow! I can't believe how many people have only read up to book 4! You know there is a 5th one out right?! Well, I've read all 5. I haven't read the Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, or Quidditch Through the Ages. I think it would be cool to read those books that are supposed to tell you the secrets of Harry Potter though.

[Azimuth]

Philosopher's Stone - 4 times
Chamber of Secrets - 4 times
Prisoner of Azkaban - 4 times
Goblet of FIre - 4 times
Order of the Phoenix - 1 time

I've also read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Quidditch Through the Ages.

[gica]

i have read all of them at least five times each. i am always reading one of them and i usually read them in order cause i can get confused sometimes.

[Lupin_Lady]

I've read all 5 several times-- actually...

PS/SS-- 3
COS-- 2
POA--14
GOF-- 10
OOTP-- 8

I keep count.... I'm pathetic.

[RemusLupinFan]

I have read all five books plus the Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch through the Ages books. I think I've read books 1-4 about twice, but I have only read OotP once.

[StarofSirius]

I have read all five of them plus the two school books. I love the side comments that the Trio writes in them. :D I have read all of the novels less then twenty times, except for CoS because it's my least favorite, which I've probably read only twice. My favorite one though has to be PoA, I can read that one over and over again. My friends think I need help because I always keep one close so I can read it if I'm bored.

[padfootgrim]

ive read all of them... and the two school books... ive read the two school books twice... ive read the books themselves at least 9 times each.. more for OotP since it is my favorite

[Ron Lover]

All of them of course. Each time I read them they just get better. Plus you always pick up on things you didn't notice before.

SS - 4 times
CoS - 4 times
PoA - 6 times
GoF - 3 times
OotP - 2 times

[Galilea]

I have read all 5 books, at least twice, and some of them 3 times. They are always enjoyable. I am really looking forward to the 6th book. I hope Ms. Rowling is having an easy time of it . . . I want to know what happens next.

[washable19]

all of them, many many times :)

[Katie_Bell]

ok, so i'm the only cheater I've seen in this thread so far. I havn't "actually" read the first four, I listened to them on tape. I don't like to read and I love the stories so much that I have all five on audio book. I did, however read fantastic beasts and I read the fifth book, not just listened.

Who cares how you read them, as long as you love them that's all that matters. I think there is actually a plus side to the tapes instead of reading...you'll never mispronounce something! :tu:

[LunaLovegood07]

First two: once each
fourth: twice
fifth: two and a half times (the book was overdue and it was too late in the year to renew)
Third: too many times to count.

you can tell which one's my favourite can't you?lol

[fleur magique]

I've read all five books. I'm actually reading them for about the tenth time now(I know pathetic :blush: but they are just so amazing that I feel like I can never stop reading them, maybe they gave me some of those cursed books that Ron mentions in CoS where you can never stop reading them :scared: ) plus I've read the two school books.

[Auror Williamson]

Compared to most, I've read each book a small amount of times.

Sorcerer's Stone - 2
Chamber of Secrets - 1 1/2
Prisoner of Azkaban -2
Goblet of Fire - 2
Order of the Phoenix - 1 1/2 (currently re-reading it)

I had a copy of Fantastic Beasts a few years ago, but I've lost it since then. Who knows where it's at...

[Spirit]

All five of them along with six other related Harry Potter books. I'm obsessed.

[Strider2004]

I have read the first 3 books, and working on GoF now.

[harripottrfreek]

I have read all 5 books...

Sorcerer's Stone: 8 times (will be starting it again this Summer I suppose)

Chamber of Secrets: 5 times (I get bored)

Prisoner of Azkaban: 16 times (I can't be sure...just making a good guess based on how many book reports and research I have done with this book, it's my favorite and I'm reading it for the 3 time since May 4th...had to do something to stay sane waiting for the movie!)

Goblet of Fire: 5 times (going to read it again for research matters)

Order of the Phoenix: 3 times (in the middle of 4th times-stopped because of PoA movie)

[TheBloodyXXX]

I've read POA, GoF. and OOTP in that order. I'm now reading CoS and after that I plan on reading Philosophers' Stone.

[Furienna]

How about... I don't know... five?

[Da_Chinkster]

I read the Philosophers stone about 3 months after it came out. After that hooked me the next four were bought and read on the day they were released. I have subsequently read the first three many more times, the GoF once or twice more and I seriously need to reread the OotP

[Wingardium Leviosa]

I've read books 1-3 29 times each, GOF 28 times (well I've just started rereading for the 29th) and OOTP 19 times. I'm trying to catch up how many times I've read OOTP, because I like to keep it all equal.

[Da_Chinkster]

u kept count?? now that it keen. well played for reading the GoF 28 times because it is some much longer than the others (3 prior to that). It's gonna be a while to catch up with the OotP becuase that's even longer!!

[ragga]

well ive read them all twice and the 3rd im half way through again...

i dont really have time to read them all many times because of like college work and stuff...but i also like to read different books also...

though the hp books are my favourites all normaly just read up on boards to hear peoples beliefs and i dont know you find out so much more from here...

[Furienna]

Yeah, I see no need for you to do that either, Da Chinkster.

I think I've read the books three or four times. I have only read the whole series twice yet though.

[kittyboy]

Man, I feel like a old bookworm :rotfl:
I've read all 5 books about 3/4 times each
and once for Quidich thu the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and where to fine them a couple of times and and the Ultimate Unoffical Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter .

[Elocin4684]

Let's see...

I've read books 1-4 2 times. I read them once at the start of my freshmen year in college (that would be in 2002), and then I read them again right before book 5 came out.

I've read book 5 once. This book is my least fav book of the series, so it will only get read again once I've read books 1-4 through again.

I've read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Throughout the Ages, oh, I don't know, probably twice. I read them all the way through once and I've probably flipped and nipped through them again another time.

I've also read the Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter once. I've read that the new one for the OotP isn't that good, so I'll probably delay on reading that one (more like buying it since I'm a poor college student).

[Hermyownniny]

I've read all 5 books and the 2 texts, which were so cute with the little graffitii! :-)

I've lost count how many times i've read them...

[Da_Chinkster]

I wanted to re read them this week.... but my books didnt get delivered :(. Oh yer slightly off topic but how many sets of the books do people own?? I own a hardback and paperback set (I found the hardback of the last two books far too difficult to carry around and then I just bought the paperback set instead).

[Ronschica]

Sadly only one.

[Rhanebeaux]

I've read all 7...that being books 1-5 and FBaWtFT and QTtA.....And alot of books about the books....

[tonks26]

I've read books 1-5...haven't got hold of the extra two yet

[ErickGama]

I have read 6, if you count Magical Beasts and Where To Find Them

[SbIlRaIcUkS]

Ive read the 7 by rowling and then ive read as many books about the books as i can get my hands on...

[Jillstar03]

I've read in this exact order:
PoA (That was borrowed off my cousin)
GoF
OotP
CoS
Quiddich Through the Ages

*Also, bare in mind that before I read PoA, I had already seen the 1st 2 films, so I knew what the basic plot was about!*

I am planning to get PS and PoA as soon as I have finished reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and then I want to read all of them again in succession in order to see if I can find any info for the amazing theories you guys have come up with and to try and see if I can spot any of my own! :eyebrows:

[Witflick]

I've read the five books in the series, as well as the two schoolbooks.

[Silkeng]

I have read all five of the HP books not the school books.

[Josiah45]

I have read 7 harry potter related books to date. They are all very very great and I am looking forward to the 9th book that i will read.

[Summer]

i've read all 5 novels. i'm awaiting the 6th impatiently.

[cleansweep11]

Of course I've read the 5. i've also read the two school books...and anybook relevent to HP.

[Neptune]

I have read all five of the Harry Potter books as well as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Throughout the Ages.

As for how many times for each of them. I really have lost count, but I'll take a guess....

PS/SS - About 6 times.
COS - About 6 times.
POA - Anywhere from 10 to 15 times....this one I just know is more then 10 times!
GOF - About 10 times
OOTP - So far 4 times, but I'm always picking it up to read again, actually I just started on my 5th time a few days ago.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Throughout the Ages I have read only once threw for each of them.

[HorseGirl]

Book 1: 8, 9, probably
Book 2: 8
Book 3: 10, would be more, but I'm going to read it after I see HP POA and I'm forcing myself not to read it again *LOL!*
Book 4: 9
Book 5: 4 would be more, but...hey! Why don't I read it again! I haven't got anything else to read...who cares if it was very recently I read it before? *Think between now and the first of May* I can read it again! 5 for book 5? Lol!

[Secretofshadows]

I have read all 5 books of them 5-10 times each.

[emerald eyes]

Well ummm.... all of them. Read them each 4-6 times. And I have reading copies and ummm... "just to look nice on the shelf" copies.

[Dead Star]

Philosopher's Stone - 3 times
Chamber of Secrets - 3 times
Prisoner of Azkaban - 4 times
Goblet of Fire - 4 times
(I don't have the greatest memory, but that seems about right)

Order of the Phoenix - 3 times
Quidditch Through the Ages - once
Fantastic Beasts - once

[crazy_gymnast]

I've read all of the books around 30 times.

[snape_sinclaire]

Sad as it is, first Harry Potter I read was The Order of the Phoenix. I got it the day it came out. One reason was that the cover was blue. Slightly obsessed with the color.

Then I read Prisoner of Azkaban after I saw the movie. After that I decided that I couldn't wait a year for the Goblet of Fire movie, so incidently I read that book.

I tried reading Sorceror's Stone in 5th Grade to see what all the fuss was about, but I just couldn't get it for some reason. This happened about a month before the movie came out.

I think I have a habit of doing things out of order like that, and buying anything that's blue....
