Am I the only one re-reading book 1-6 before summer?

[HP_fanatic01]

if you read as fast as me you can,
i finshed the third book in about 4 hours

[Arwen42]

I re-read them about three weeks ago. Since I finished so fast, I decided to re-read them again! I'm halfway through OoTP. I'm taking it slow now. lol

[HP_fanatic01]

hah nice

[stunnedtina]

I just wrapped up my reading session of the books. Finished up HBP last night and now I'm re-reading Prisoner Of Azkaban. I'm in a mood for reading Harry Potter and since I've kind of going slow with the books I decided I'd go ahead and re-read PoA quickly before the final book comes out.

I've read the first countless times, but from there I've mostly read each book 1-2 times. I know I've only read 4, 5, and 6 once each.

I was thinking of just watching the movies for 1-4 and then reading 5+6. What do you guys think?

If you have a chance maybe try to read all the books or if you can't just maybe 4,5,6 or whatever you think you will have time for. Rowling said herself that the films are a different entity. All the canon... all the beautiful... canon... shredded to pieces...
And you'd have the image of the actors rather than your own imagination.

I am just finishing up with OotP and will begin Half Blood Prince sometime next week, I want to finish it before the last one comes out, but I am so busy right now.

[xxemmaxx]

i started my rereads too early, so am rereading again! haha am on PoA now, so i will have to pace myself accordingly! hope it works out!

[purple_cow]

Yes, I am, very slowly at that.

I can't remember when I started re-reading them but so far I've not even a quarter of the way through book 5 as I have been reading other books at the same time.

I'm going to back reading the last two Harry Potter books so i'll be finished with them before the next one comes out in a few weeks.

[Shadowdark]

I read 1, 2 and 3 a while back, read another book, missed out 4 because I couldn't be bothered, now I'm trying to finish 5 before the movie then 6 before the book. Argh.

[Lillbet]

The other night, wracked with insomnia, I picked up SS and was ready to hit the hay after 20 pages. Happened again last night.

At this rate I might finish it before DH comes out

[Sammi_Sohma]

I'm going backwards! lol.
I picked up HBP about two weeks ago. I had gotten my wisdom teeth out and needed something to do while lieing in bed all day.
Since then my boyfriend and I have begun a race to see who finishes the series first. This, of course, also includes how long it takes us to read book 7..

[Hogwarts Lake]

I am on Prisoner and it is ending, so if I go slow I will finish the HBP right before DH comes out! I am am having a Harry Potter pre-DH release mania... I listen to the Harry Potter OSTs (or anything that reminds me of anything Harry Potter), have put up a Harry Potter wallpaper, etc. This is looking to be a great month!
I might also watch all the movies before the 7th book and/or 5th movie although IMO the movies are NOT canon and nothing compared to the books; but I'll leave that for another thread...

[pottermaina]

right now i'm almost done with the 3rd book for the 2nd time. I want to get at least finish with the 5th one b/f i go to the midnight showing of OOTP. Then I'll start on HBP the next day. I'll probably finish in time to reread SS, CoS, POA, and half of GOF b/f the 21st.

[Blofeld]

I read most of the books while I was vacationing in Virginia (beautiful scenery they have there! ), and I started on HBP two nights ago; unfortunately, I haven't got around to continuing reading lately, so...

[HouseStark]

Finished rereading a few days ago. Might read some book 7 fanfics between now and the 21st.

If I read HP just at home, in between everything else, I can probably get all of it done about July 21st.

you'll like jonathan strange. like i said in another thread, if u can get through the first 100 not-that-entertaining-but-really-well-written pages, you will enter a world that you will never ever want to leave.

[somerandom592]

uh yes i've read the series like at least 3 times in the lead up to Deathly Hallows.

[sly_draco9]

I just finished re-reading HBP a few days ago

[Mrscole]

[Montse]
