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

[LordPhoenix]

I was really planning on rereading the whole series before the new book came out, but then I forgot all about it and next thing I know the book is coming out in two weeks! It took me a week to read 1-5 last year before 6 came out, but with my vacation I only have six days to read them all, hmmm should have started reading earlier...

[SquizyMoomin]

I've almost finished my re-reading of them all =] Maybe I'll re-read them all again after just for good measure...lol And anyway, what with the release of book 7 being so close now, I don't think I could manage to read a non-HP book at the moment, my mind would just keep wandering to Harry...so I guess I'll be re-reading again before Deathly Hallows comes out.

I started re-reading them on July 3rd. I've just started GoF so am making decent progress, but not as much as I would like...darn job and kids

[hermiobonni]

I started months ago, I've already re-read them. Again.
I think I have way too much free time!

[Heart]

Just finished HBP's final half, as I had already read the first half randomly millions of times.

And I finished OOTP and GOF together in four or five days with constant readings of five hour days.

[HPgreyhound]

Nope, Im on OotP right now, but I should be done with HBP by about the 20th or so...

[Slyths_Mudblood]

I keep trying to re-read them. But I can't seem to make it past the first book. Which is pathetic, considering I normally finish the big ones in less than two days each.

But, once I got the end of Chapter One in SS, where JKR mentions that wizards all over the world were raising their glasses and toasting, "To Harry Potter - the boy who lived," I freaked out. Because all I could think was what if The Boy Who Lived doesnt! It's making me edgy.

My sister, on the other hand, is re-reading them starting backwards (Book 6 to Book 5, etc). She says she's noticed more than she originally did. Haha.

I'm attempting to speed-read HBP now, so I can cram in all the movies before going to see OotP on Tuesday. It's not easy, let me tell you.

HBP is one of the easiest to read imo. I remember it being like 2:45 AM(I don't read past 4) and I was on page 500 and I didn't think I had enough time to finish it that night, then I checked how many pages it was and realized it was only 653 and plowed through it in an hour.

I was trying to spread out the books so that I would finish HBP a day before the release of DH. But, of course, I couldn't pace myself and am already starting HBP. I'm a slow reader but even if I try to go slow, I'll be done with HBP in just a few days. Oh well. I guess I can read some of those fan written books to help me get through these final days.

Thanks for the advice, but, really, only 4:00? Gosh, there are times when I read 'til the Sun comes up!

[zoeydsngwrtr]

Lol, you are definatly not the only one.

I'm re-listening to it...but then I'm always listening to it. I'm on book four

I just finished watching the movies again

My neice just finished reading them for the first time.....her parents told her that they wouldn't buy her her own copy of the seventh book unless she read the first six...so she did. She's sooo excited it's cute

My nephew also just finished reading them, but this time for the second time...he also just finished re-watching the movies...he keeps spouting off lines from them and nobody catches on but me.

What a nerdy fam :-)

[Blofeld]

Oh, you listen to them? Who's the narrator, Stephen Fry or Jim Dale?

[creativeamanda]

I finished OoTP today. Won't start HBP until Thursday, as I am working tomorrow and will see the movie Wednesday.

[Hallowed]

I started just before my exams, and i now only have 9 chapters of HBP to do, the other five being finished. Thats a chapter a day, ending with the White Tomb a few hours before DH's release.

[MadMagic]

I'm almost up to task number two in Goblet of Fire.

With the forums closing this week and then time off of work next week I think I should finish GoF and read OotP and HBP with plenty of time.

[Spritey]

w00t, I finally started my reread! I actually opened with HBP, then went to PS... topsy turvy, I know. I got through CoS last night, though, and now I'm about eight chapters into PoA. Can you believe I forgot how good these books are? Yeah really, they're rather entertaining, you know...

Still, wish me luck, I've got the two longest books to go! ^_^ I don't think I'll get OotP finished before I see the movie unless I read until dawn... here's hoping my mental image is strong enough to survive it as it is.

[JesusSaves]

I re-read most of GOF, OOTP and HBP. But I only read my favorite bits.

I'll probably have a little scan of the COS if I get the time.

[Atomos]

I've read the first three and I'm half way through GoF, I'm planning to read more after I post a little bit.

This is also my first post so ..... HI EVERYBODY!

[dumbledorerulz]

Hi Atomos!! I've finished re reading them already it took me around 2 and a half weeks it would have been less if it hadnt been for work i re read them way to often as it is though i think thats my second time this year.I can never just read one it has to be all of them!!
